Abdelhak Bassou & Imane Lahrich

Dans ce nouvel épisode, Imane Lahrich accueille Abdelhak Bassou pour discuter des dessous de la présence militaire russe en Afrique. D’un côté, la Russie ambitionne de contrer les ambitions occidentales et accroître son influence sur d’autres parties du globe sensibles aux idées anti-occidentales. D’un autre côté, l’Occident cherche non seulement à affaiblir la Russie pour la dissuader d’envahir d’autres pays à l’avenir, mais aussi à l’isoler afin de restreindre sa sphère d’influence. Dans ce sens, que nous apprend la guerre en Ukraine sur la puissance militaire russe et sa présence en Afrique ? Et quelles sont les hypothèses et les scénarios pour les relations militaires russo-africaines après la guerre en Ukraine ?
