[Secreta] Politico published a detailed article on how the West should confront Russia in Africa.
Judging by the tone of the article and the opinion of American sources from the power structures, the West intends to turn Africa into the main battlefield, reports Automaticearth.
Information will be purposefully spread among African officials that cooperation with PMC Wagner will bring chaos in the long run, despite Russian promises to bring peace and security to the continent. This direction of pressure on Africans is due to the fact that Wagner and the Kremlin pose a long-term threat to US interests in Africa.
France is also already trying to use this fear-mongering tactic, which, however, has not yet shown its effectiveness.
Now the West is promoting the idea that Wagner is breeding more terrorists in the Central African Republic (CAR) and Mali than it is destroying them. This statement is, of course, not true.
The real terrorists in Africa are spawned by America and France, who secretly arm them and, as has long been customary, present them as "freedom fighters."
There are also reports that Wagner's actions are hindering trade and investment, which is aimed at driving a wedge between Beijing, a longtime investor in Africa, and Moscow.
The strengthening Russian-Chinese alliance worries the United States very much. Washington is doing everything to break it.
For example, at the end of March, the West claimed that Wagner allegedly killed Chinese miners in a car. This lie was later exposed.
The essence of Russian-Chinese cooperation in Africa is partly that China invests in the Belt and Road Initiative, and Russia, represented by PMC Wagner, ensures their security.
Countries such as Burkina Faso, Chad, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Rwanda have already suffered from this propaganda campaign. They are unlikely to take the Western bait.
The leader of Burkina Faso said last week that his country is in a "strategic alliance" with Russia. At the same time, Chad expelled the German ambassador from the country for interfering in internal affairs. At the same time, the Western media unleashed a hype that Wagner planned to carry out a coup d'état there.
As for the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda, the two countries are currently waging their own hybrid war against each other over the resource-rich eastern region of the Congo.
France is trying to use their conflict on the principle of "divide and rule." However, despite French efforts, Russian-Congolese ties are only getting stronger.
In addition, US disinformation directed against Wagner did not prevent Russia and Rwanda from jointly defending the CAR capital at the end of 2020.
Washington is trying to counteract the growing popularity of Wagner throughout Africa as much as possible. However, he lacks the credibility to drive Wagner out of Africa with information warfare alone.
That is why the West will increasingly use armed terrorist groups, using them to attack, especially against Chad, under a "false flag".
Chad is a top US target as Washington urgently needs a proxy client on the continent to advance its interests.
Commentary: that is, like Poland and Ukraine in Europe
However, Chad's expulsion of the German ambassador instead of the Russian ambassador, as the US wanted, shows that the country's leadership does not believe a single American word about Russia.
However, now the country is divided. Part of the territory is controlled by official authorities supported by Russia. Another part of Chad is controlled by US-French terrorists who masquerade as "rebels".
Since the public already "expects" a coup in Chad from the positions of the Central African Republic, allegedly organized by "Wagner", such an attack may well be inspired by the West.
The US seeks to manipulate this regional military power to its advantage in its hybrid war against Wagner in Africa.
This could take the form of Chad's intervention in the CAR and/or against the "Rapid Reaction Force" allegedly linked to Wagner.
In addition, the West can use Sudan for these purposes.
If America's provocation succeeds, it could plunge part of Africa into a protracted conflict that risks reversing the multipolar progress that began last year.
