23rd June 2025
Africa, a continent rich in resources and resilience, is a mostly silent battleground in a geopolitical contest.

This isn’t just Africa’s story—it’s a test case for a global model that trades sovereignty for dependency. Democratic nations must counter with partnerships that prioritize African agency, learning from past mistakes to avoid repeating them.
