Is Russia making matters worse in the Sahel, or is the West just angry that Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger chose a new partner?
In this video, we break down Russia’s growing role across the Sahel, including Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso, and ask the real question: is Moscow helping these countries regain sovereignty, or are they replacing one foreign influence with another?
For years, many Africans criticized France’s role in West Africa, especially through military bases, political pressure, currency influence, and the legacy of colonial control. But now that several Sahel countries have turned toward Russia and Africa Corps for security support, the region is still facing jihadist attacks, civilian casualties, displacement, political isolation, and growing concerns about accountability.
So what is really happening? Is Russia a necessary partner in a multipolar Africa? Is the Sahel making a strategic move away from France and the West? Or is this another example of African nations being caught between global powers while everyday people continue to suffer?
At Danfo, we believe Africa must be understood beyond headlines, propaganda, and Western talking points. Our mission is to help people experience Africa with context, culture, and respect.
