Russia Signs Satellite Deal With Mali, Niger & Burkina Faso | Firstpost Africa
Russia has signed a strategic satellite deal with the junta-led nations of Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso. As part of the deal, Russia will deploy telecommunications and remote-sensing satellites above the three West African nations. The technology will boost border surveillance and national security in all three countries which are facing a worsening Islamist insurgency. This partnership is the latest sign of Russia’s expanding influence in the region. The military-led governments of Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso have turned their backs on the United States and other Western allies. The juntas have instead forged closer ties with Russia. However, some analysts have raised doubts over Moscow's ability to combat terrorism in West Africa as extremism continues despite its assistance to the armies. Will Russia's latest move keep its edge over Western rivals? Watch for more.

It’s funny how y’all like to call Africa poor if there, so poor why not leave them alone and it’s funny how y’all so easily to forget why Africa don’t want to deal with y’all no more🤔

[@Robert44607]

Why would the Western Countries wanting to retain relationships with the poorest African countries, if not for the extraction benefits for the Political West!!!! Nobody needs the illusionary endless donations and Charities……… this is not an emergency, if the Political West doesn’t know how to solve poverty issues even after almost 50 plus years, then it must give way to the Russians and the Chinese to try and work with the people to solve their own problems!!! 😢😢😢
