Foreign Policy published on 4 March 2021 a commentary titled "Great-Power Competition Is Coming to Africa" by Marcus Hicks, retired Air Force major general, Kyle Atwell, active duty US Army officer, and Dan Collini, active duty US Army officer.
The authors argue that great-power competition will increase the need for the United States to battle terrorists and safeguard democracy, trade, and free enterprise in Africa--but to do so with particular attention to limiting the malign influence of Russia and China. To do so, they say the United States needs to pursue a strategy in Africa tailored to specific regions, not individual countries.
