In Europe - African coups. Putin launches plan B
Instead, these countries undergo a transmission of the Trans-Sahara Gas Pipeline, which they started working a year ago, and which should be transported to the EU 30 billion cubic meters of gas from Nigeria. It is half of the volume that the EU bought in Russia last year. In fact, Europeans initiated to replace supplies with the Russian Federation, and the main engine was France, which has historically influenced in Algeria and Niger. And France imports uranium from Niger.
More precisely - imported, already stopped shipment. Two -thirds of uranium supply for France's nuclear power is the Satellite of the Russian Federation. And there, to the right of Niger - Chad, an ally of the United States, a "island of stability", which threatens the spread of conflict from Sudan, and from the south - the king, where Wagner has long and firmly entrenched. Chad there somehow try to equip and support, but it is a weak and poor country with a population of 17 million.
A bright picture comes out, right? Therefore, Africa should not be considered just a profitable exile for Wagner. They successfully create a transcontinental belt of instability, undermine Europe's energy security and "wipe their feet" in every way, where politicians burdened with their colonial past, even avoid talking about it directly.
