Why Is Russia Interested in Africa?

On Oct. 10, 2018, I appeared on The Stream, an Al Jazeera show focused on current events from around the globe.

This episode focused on Russia’s reappearance in Africa after a decades-long lull. I discussed the many ways Moscow is seeking to reassert itself, from Eritrea to South Africa.

This segment includes my complete pre-recorded video, which you won’t see in the version that aired. Check out the full episode for additional insight into what Russia’s African ambitions might mean for the continent.
