Prof. Sergiu Mișcoiu, the director of CESTAF, gave an interview to the journalist Kester Kenn Komelagh about Russia’s strategy of stimulating the coups d’etat in Africa. A relevant excerpt:
« Vladimir Putin has intended to restore the mightiness of the Soviet Union, including its influence over the African continent. But unlike the USSR, Russia didn’t and doesn’t dispose of the financial and logistic resources needed to massively invest in the key-sectors. To compensate its economic debility, the Kremlin inaugurates almost insignificant but ostentatious investment projects and at the same aggressively promotes the anti-Western discourse (“Russia helps, the West takes”). »
