China and Russia battle for Africa’s narrative | Anatomy of Disinformation

Описание: Africa has become one of the world’s most contested information battlegrounds. In this episode of Anatomy of Disinformation, Maia Mazurkiewicz explores how AI-driven propaganda, fake experts, and coordinated influence operations are reshaping reality across the African continent. Disinformation fuels distrust, exploits poverty and historical grievances, and turns local conflicts into tools of global power competition.

Together with Anna Masłoń-Oracz, an expert on Afro-EU relations, we examine how Russia and China use narratives of anti-colonialism, security, and prosperity to expand their influence throughout Africa — often blending military power with sophisticated information warfare. The episode also looks at how young populations are targeted and recruited, and why Western influence is rapidly eroding in parts of Africa.

The program then turns to Rwanda’s experience, where Anastase Shyaka, Ambassador of Rwanda to Poland, explains how disinformation once fueled genocide and what long-term reconciliation, local ownership, and societal resilience can teach the world today. Across Africa, disinformation is not just online noise. It is a strategic weapon, and the battle for African narratives is already shaping their future.
