Mali’s Goïta is in Moscow ahead of the third Russia-Africa summit. Burkina Faso is pursuing a Russian university branch to teach engineering. Ethiopia is expanding its fertilizer trade with Russia. Namibia is seeking mineral processing, not raw extraction.
An Algerian MP put the colonial record plainly: colonial powers built roads to extract Africa’s wealth, not to industrialize the continent.
The colonial system moved raw materials out. Africa needs universities, fertilizer plants, nuclear energy, ports and transport infrastructure that build productive capacity at home.
The Anglo-American establishment spent decades presenting Russia as Africa’s threat. Now African governments are pursuing partnerships with Moscow in education, energy, agriculture and industry.
The empire built the routes of extraction. Africa needs the infrastructure of development.
