Russia Returns to Africa

The Institute for Defense Analyses published on 20 September 2018 an article titled "Russia Returns to Africa" by Sarah Daly.

This is one in a growing series of articles commenting on Russia's increasing engagement in Africa. While there has been an uptick in Russian activity in Africa, we have seen this movie before and it ends with fading memories and a return to minimal interaction. I doubt the situation will be any different this time. Russia has too many other foreign policy preoccupations and too few strategic interests in Africa.
