Russia Struggles to Regain Influence in Africa

Russia Beyond the Headlines published on 23 September 2016 a commentary titled "Russia Struggles to Regain Influence in Africa" by Kester Klomegah, an independent writer on Russia-Africa relations.

Klomegah comments that Moscow's long-term goals in Africa include developing investment cooperation, widening the presence of Russian companies in African markets through increased deliveries of industrial and food products, and enhancing Russian participation in driving the economic development of Africa. So far, however, he concludes this effort has been nothing to boast about.
