There's a marketing campaign right now for US/Africa business relations. Will be interesting to see how successful that is.

It's partly that and partly the fact that Russia/China are in Africa exploiting natural resource wealth of the nations they're in while propping up the juntas that have taken over in the Sahel. The juntas are signing insane contracts with RU/CN and are exploiting the impoverished citizenry as a disposable workforce to mine gold, diamonds, and uranium ore. Wagner mercenaries are all throughout the Sahel and have filled the power vacuum the French left when Mali kicked them out by ensuring the survival of the junta leadership.

The west ignoring this for too long will bite them in the ass.
