The South African Institute of International Affairs published in March 2023 a study titled "Moscow's Continent: The Principles of Russia's Africa Policy Engagement" by Vuk Vuksanovic, Belgrade Centre for Security Policy.
The paper reflects on the increased importance of Africa to Russia's global interests. It explores the critical drivers of Africa's role within Russian foreign policy and argues that Russian policy in Africa revolves around three themes: pursuing alternative economic partnerships, seeking geopolitical leverage, and promoting multipolarity.
