Putin's "Strongmen" Alliance in Central Africa | Firstpost Africa | N18G

Russia is tightening its grip across Central Africa through a mix of security support and economic deals. In the Central African Republic, President Faustin-Archange Touadéra secured a third term after a disputed election enabled by constitutional changes. Days earlier, he met Vladimir Putin, crediting Russia for ensuring election security. Russian personnel, operating as the “Africa Corps,” provide military training, protection, and battlefield support. In return, Russian-linked firms gain access to gold and diamond resources. Similar patterns are emerging in the Republic of Congo, where Moscow is deepening ties. As Western influence declines, Russia is expanding its footprint through security-for-resources partnerships across the region.
