Many African countries increasingly rely on Chinese financing and support for critical infrastructure projects. But how does China's involvement in Africa intersect with local politics? Are African politicians proud of engaging with or borrowing from China? Or do they prefer to keep it quiet? Are some African politicians who publicly distance themselves from Chinese investment actually "in bed with China"?

Dr. Omolade Adunbi, Associate Professor at the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies at the University of Michigan, explains that in Nigerian politics, China occupies a complex role. Dr. Adunbi says, "Politicians do not necessarily promote their association with China, but they let Chinese projects speak for themselves. So there is hardly anywhere in Nigeria that you go to today that you don't see the visibility of China in terms of infrastructural projects [...] The first thing you see when you get to that when you land at that airport, is the presence of presence of China there. And that brings into focus the visibility of Chinese projects, so they are highly visible, you see that they are constructing or remodeling projects, from the airport, to roads, to hospitals to everywhere in the country. But here is the thing: so it's also a strategy move by Nigerian politicians by not openly associating with China. [...] They may not openly associate with China, but they are in bed with China in several other aspects.

This interview was recorded in 2020.

The African political terrain also saw some great gains even as it witnessed a peaceful transition of power from one regime to another. CGTN's Chao Mghono with the details.

Varoufakis has called on the international community to support South Africa as the country is experiencing pressure with the cases it lodged against Israel at the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court.

Elon Musk was born in 1971 in Johannesburg, South Africa, and raised in a wealthy family under the country's racist apartheid laws. Musk's family history reveals ties to apartheid and neo-Nazi politics. We speak with Chris McGreal, reporter for The Guardian, to understand how Musk's upbringing shaped his worldview, as well as that of his South African-raised colleague Peter Thiel, a right-wing billionaire who co-founded PayPal alongside Musk. "Musk lived what can only be described as a neocolonial life," said McGreal. "If you were a white South African in that period and you had any money at all, you lived with servants at your beck and call."

#SouthAfrica #Immigration #Xenophobia

US President Donald Trump is accusing South Africa of human rights violations against its white farmers.
He's cut assistance that includes critical HIV medication.
Trump cited a law that allows the South African government to seize farmland and its genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice, for his decision.
South African-born adviser to Trump - Elon Musk - is also accusing the country of what he calls, 'openly racist' land ownership laws.

So what role does the billionaire play? And is humanitarian aid being weaponised?

In 2023, Niger became the latest country in the Sahel region of northwest Africa to experience a military coup.

Since Mali's armed takeover in 2020, several neighbouring countries have seen similar military coups.

The African Union, Peacekeeping and the Politics of Peace

More than 100,000 peacekeepers deployed in Africa make up three-quarters of such United Nations troops worldwide, and they illustrate the frequent response of the African Union to defuse violent conflict with military forces. But the AU has another strength: political power. Join the U.S. Institute of Peace with researchers Alex de Waal and Mulugeta Gebrehiwot of the World Peace Foundation on September 12 for recommendations from their new report on how the AU can harness its unique advantage to advance peace and security.

USIP does this by engaging directly in conflict zones and by providing analysis, education, and resources to those working for peace. Created by Congress in 1984 as an independent, nonpartisan, federally funded organization, USIP’s more than 300 staff work at the Institute’s D.C. headquarters, and on the ground in the world’s most dangerous regions.

Corruption, government incompetence and policy paralysis risk turning Africa’s most-industrialized nation into a failing state, leaving the ANC struggling to hang on to power. Here is the full story
