In this week’s episode of Pluralia Dialogos (Sunday Aug 30 at 11am ET), I will be speaking with two BRI-Africa experts who will discuss the battle over opposing systems shaping world politics driven by 1) China’s BRI/Multipolar strategy focused on long term development and cooperation among sovereign nations and 2) the Anglo-American hegemons whose idea of “multipolarity” demands an Orwellian revamping of the world order.
What has the Pan-African revivalist movement come to view as the future of Africa (led by the Alliance for Sahel States), and how have French intelligence, Ukrainian and other foreign agencies been caught using jihadi groups as a weapon against African Development?
