It’s more like we made promises we didn’t keep (like transferring financial aid, investments in infrastructure projects, etc) and instead Western countries still bleed part of Africa’s economy dry and I can understand that they’re fed up with it. I only hope that China and Russia won’t just be a wolf in sheep’s disguise, since they’re also imperialist and it’d be naive to expect them to help Africa become a strong contender to their economies.
African nations would be better off to continue pushing for an African Union and bring collective bargaining power when dealing with the new and old colonists.
Well, there are plans to create a SWIFT alternative (?)/digital currency for African nations to trade between themselves. They’re not simply relying on BRICS, it would seem.
It seems you’re not really familar with what’s happening in Africa right now and I can’t fault you for that because Western media has been terrible about reporting about what we’re doing to Africa. (Please excuse me if I’m completely off here, I can only go with what you provided thus far.)
According to my research a lot of countries on the African continent are actively working towards dedollarization by building independent central bank transfer infrastructure to finally get rid of the shackles of Western neo-colonial soft power and China/Russia/BRICS are a god-sent for them.
And thinking that Putin doesn’t have influence (and thus, he has to pretend otherwise) is kinda… ignorant?
