“Russia has just returned to Africa,” head of Russian diplomat Sergei Lavrov, who appointed the African division, said during the opening last Tuesday. Lavrov explained to the boss of the African diplomatic mission, invited to this ceremony. Why did Russia not pay sufficient attention to Africa?
Russia focuses on Africa. They are planning to open several embassies
– There were several reasons to weaken our ties and interest in the African continent. One of them was the difficult financial situation of independent countries that arose after him, including the Soviet Union and the Russian Federation. It was absolutely hopeless. We had to close the embassy to save money for foreign policy – he explained.
Another reason was the Western-oriented political forces that led the newly formed Russia – the minister assured African diplomats that it was a mistake that Russia had already repaired.
As part of a new opening to Africa, Russia plans to open embassies that were closed several years ago in Liberia, neighbouring Sierra Leone, Gambia, Togo, Niger, Rooms and South Sudan.
Liberia has for years denied the Kremlin’s right to open diplomatic representatives, but after the fall elections of 2023, the new administration under President Joseph Boaki’s control will be prepared to strengthen its ties with Russia. It showed that it was done. The Opposition Congress for Democratically Change (CDC) has stated that despite its long-term relationship between Liberia and the United States, attempts to establish diplomatic relations with Russia have been “serious threat to the country’s peace and stability.” “He warned.
Russia wants to strengthen its position in Africa. In the background, access to the Atlantic Ocean
Moscow not only opens embassies, but also seeks to strengthen its existence across the continent. Last November, she sent around 200 military instructors to Equatorial Guinea to protect the 82-year-old Central African president who controls a small-scale oil-rich country since 45 years after the 1979 coup . A year ago, she signed a military cooperation agreement with neighbouring Cameroon, led by almost 92-year-old Paul Biya.
The Gambia, Equatorial Guinea, Cameroon, Liberia and Togo lie along the coast. This clearly shows that Russia is consistently paving the way for strategic access to the Atlantic Ocean. The room will allow India and China to access the western part of the Indian Ocean where they compete with each other.
All the countries mentioned by Lavrov have huge gold deposits and diamonds that Russia is already exploiting from friendly countries – Mali, Burkina Faso, Sudan, the Central African Republic.
