How Russia Plans To Send France Out Of Africa, The EU Is Panicking!

This is a smart tactic Russia is using to send France out of Africa. France has lost its grip on Niger and Russia has swooped in to gain influence on the continent. There is a power vacuum following the recent coups in Africa and Russia is not refusing the invitation to gather as much influence as they can in the continent through diplomatic actions. One of which is the deployment of the Wagner group, a set of military forces whose aim is to intervene in the affairs of several African countries. By providing them with military and security support and expanding and maintaining Moscow’s influence across Africa. It is one of Russia’s methods of gaining more ground in Africa and also kicking France out of the continent. The Wagner group is a foreign policy tool placed by Russia in Africa. Its most significant work is its battle in Syria and Ukraine but in recent times, they have shifted their concentration towards Africa. Its operations in Africa started in 2017 and provided its clients with all the military support they needed. Alongside a secret propaganda. The Wagner group has about 5 thousand soldiers stationed on the African continent and is a mix of former Russian soldiers, convicts, and foreign nationals. As a result of Russia’s interference through the Wagner group, Nigeriens are protesting in their streets, protesting against France and denying their interference accepting and welcoming Russia into their country as they wave the Russian flag saying France must go. We can clearly see here that Russia has started succeeding in ousting France from the continent once and for all. These two countries have been at loggerheads for a long time, and Putin finally found a way to get back at France. France is losing its influence in Africa as it has lost three of its former colonies, Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso. Russia’s foreign policy, the Wagner group is right there alongside them in support of ousting France from the continent.
