Russian Efforts to Influence Africa

The Guardian published on 11 June 2019 an article titled "Leaked Documents Reveal Russian Effort to Exert Influence in Africa" by Luke Harding and Jason Burke.

This is a somewhat overwrought account of Russian efforts to increase its influence in Africa. While Russia has stepped up its game in a number of African countries, it does so with limited resources, a relatively weak economy, and other higher foreign policy priorities.
