But the ruling Frelimo party isn’t going anywhere – perhaps because staying in power is simply too lucrative. That means that the man who should be president might never be.

Europe can't afford to wait. Russian disinfo in Africa directly threatens Europe. Kremlin networks flood platforms with fake successes of juntas & stories painting Europe as the enemy. These campaigns open doors for Moscow's resource grabs & migration leverage against Europe

Welcome to Issue 185 of The Continent

France isn't having a great month. This week, its government collapsed. And last week, not one but two of its former African colonies told it to get lost. A lot of western analysts are blaming Russia. This misses the point.

bit.ly/TC185
The cover of issue 185 of The Continent is an illustration by Ethiopian cartoonist Yemsrach Yetneberk. It depicts two French soldiers, one a standard-bearer, walking away from the graves of the tirailleurs, West African riflemen. The riflemen, who were part of the Second World War effort were not acknowledged by France and were killed when they demanded fair wages when they returned to Senegal. On the ground is the Senegalese flag, demarcated like a roadway with the green, yellow and red stripes with a green star in the middle of the yellow stripe. The words "Revenge of the tirailleurs" are written in the top lefthand corner beneath the words "'The Continent"

US deal? Zim, Zam: ‘No thank you, man’

Zimbabwe has rejected a $350-million US health-funding deal & Zambia has halted a $1-billion agreement. | TheContinent
US deal? Zim, Zam: ‘No thank you, man’ Zimbabwe has rejected a $350-million US health-funding deal and Zambia has halted a $1-billion agreement. This aid was meant to fight HIV, malaria, TB, and improve maternal care. The US wanted them to share health data and give it access to mineral resources. Both declined owing to sovereignty concerns, data-privacy risks, and terms linking health money to mining. The US has pursued health deals with at least 16 African countries. Some, like Uganda, Kenya, and Rwanda, have signed up.

According to Reuters, the US is pushing Rwanda and the DRC to sign a peace accord in two months. It would include a deal for US companies to get access to mining and other opportunities in both DRC and Rwanda, on the logic that the presence of western investments would be a security guarantee for the region. https://continent.substack.com/p/opposition-figures-cast-doubt-on
