Since the Cold War, international relations have been marked by a division between the West and the East. However, this distinction appears to be fading as Russia intensifies its engagement in Africa. A significant turning point was observed during the historic summit organized by Vladimir Putin from October 22nd to 25th. It brought together 50 African heads of state or government. This large-scale meeting has ushered in a new era of Russo-African cooperation, symbolized by the signing of 27 agreements since 2010. These agreements cover a wide range of areas, from arms sales to military training and infrastructure financing, demonstrating Russia’s growing ambition on the continent.<\/p>\n
