Putin's Power Play in Africa | Firstpost Africa | N18G

Описание: President Faustin-Archange Touadera of the Central African Republic is poised to extend his grip on power following Sunday’s national election. A 68-year-old mathematician, Touadera recently cleared his path by scrapping presidential term limits through a controversial 2023 referendum His political survival relies heavily on security provided by Russian mercenaries, who have helped stabilize the volatile nation. In exchange for this military muscle, Moscow has secured lucrative access to CAR’s gold and diamond mines. With Touadera now offering up lithium and uranium reserves, his expected victory solidifies a strategic "security-for-resources" pipeline. This partnership strengthens the Kremlin’s influence in Africa while fueling concerns that Touadera is aiming for a lifetime presidency.
