As the West rapidly declines under the Biden-Harris administration and other leftist leadership in European countries and Canada, the red-green axis expands globally.
“Africa is growing and changing in many ways but is still generally ignored when it comes to Western media coverage.” This is to the detriment of the West as the red-green axis expands operations on the African continent. “Russia and China have grown in influence” on the African continent, as has Turkey.
Africa is rich in natural resources, which is the primary reason why it is regarded as so attractive for investment now.
“Kadamol, Azawad, Somaliland: The Newest Scramble For Africa,” MEMRI, September 18, 2024:
Africa is growing and changing in many ways but is still generally ignored when it comes to Western media coverage. If it has gotten any recent attention, it has mostly been as a perceived battlefield for foreign power competition. Russia and China have grown in influence. Meanwhile, France – a traditional African neo-colonial power – has seen, at least for now, its influence drastically reduced in half a dozen countries. The Americans were dramatically kicked out of their $100 million base in Niger. Other influential regional powers, such as the UAE, Turkey, Qatar, and Iran have rediscovered the continent as a place to grow their influence, using both soft and hard power.
The continent has also evolved into the principal battlefield for Salafi-Jihadism, as the sharpest edge of the global jihadist movement has shifted from the Middle East and South Asia to large parts of Africa. There are aggressive, predatory Salafi-Jihadist insurgencies in West Africa (in the Sahel and in Nigeria), East Africa (Somalia), Central Africa (the Northeast part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo), and Southern Africa (Northern Mozambique).
In all of these regions, Jihadist groups – some allied to Al-Qaeda, others connected to the Islamic State – almost daily kill government forces, target Christians, and inflict constant material losses.[1] These insurgencies are mostly self-sufficient, relying very little on the Arab mother organizations, and in many places, they are growing. Recently, both Somalia and Burkina Faso seem to be particularly worrying Jihadist hot spots….

It’s a smart policy for non Western countries not to rely and not to be dependent on only the woke and degenerate West but also have friendly ties with countries like China, Russia etc. That way you can play one against the other for maximum benefit. The war in Ukraine proves that you can’t realy count on Western support when you need it the most because Western support to Ukraine has mostly been a case of too little too late.
