April 21, 2023 | Russia’s Wagner Group, a mercenary force, has ramped up their activities in various African countries. China’s Belt and Road Initiative activities and migrants in Africa have resulted in increasing security concerns for Chinese investments and Chinese nationals overseas; one of the responses has been greater presence of Chinese private security companies. African governments are also expanding purchases of Chinese arms. The experts on this panel will touch on these and other Russian and Chinese activities, their impacts on African security landscapes, and African leaders’ rationale for choosing to work with these actors.
This event is sponsored by Georgetown University’s Initiative for U.S.-China Dialogue on Global Issues and Africa-China Initiative with Howard University’s Center for African Studies.
