Russia and Africa: New Engagement?

Pambazuka News published on 13 August 2014 a piece titled "Russia's Investment in Africa: New Challenges and Prospects" by Kester Kenn Klomegah, a frequent writer on Russia-Africa relations.  He notes that Russia's presence in Africa remains marginal but suggests this could soon change based on the number of African delegations that visited Russia in the first half of 2014.  One wonders, however, if Russia will not be preoccupied with the crisis in the Ukraine in the months ahead.
