Africa is growing less dependent on European democracies and more dependent on Russian and Chinese dictatures. Good for them if they feel that it is in their interest. History will tell.

Well, European "democracies" built their wealth by exploiting those countries through colonisation, coups, and political assassination. On the other hand, Russian and Chinese "dictatures" respectively built their wealth through the extraction of their own resources, and by building their own productive force.

Theoritically, it should work better for them. Chinese loans are already working better than IMF ones so it's looking good so far.

I can always count on a Lemmygrad account to spread disinformation. Russia has brutally exploited it's neighbors to the point they formed an unprecedented defense alliance to protect themselves from Russia.
