Russian military intervention in Ukraine: what lessons for Africa?

Seen as an eloquent expression of hard-power diplomacy, the Russian Federation's military intervention in Ukraine appears to be a grandiose opportunity for the African continent to free itself further from paternalistic and dehumanizing neo-colonialism. Preoccupied by the war in Ukraine, caused by the clash of cultures between the West and the East, the former imperialist powers are gradually losing control of their former colonies in Africa. As always, it is the clash of cultures between East and West that is leading humanity to catastrophe: Panslavism versus Pangermanism. This pan-African work explores the opportunities for accelerating the process of regional integration in Africa in the context of the Russian Federation's special military operations in Ukraine. It is intended as a working tool and an excellent guide for public policy decision-making at local, national, sub-regional and regional levels.
