Not per se against Russia alone. Africa’s partnership is critical to both China and Russia. Subjugation of Africa via neo-colonialism to Europe (a proxy and vassal of the US) is also important for continued plunder of resources. So while it’s not a direct threat to Russia it’s an indirect, long-term one. These moments don’t come along that often and frankly I fear if this and similar movements are crushed in Africa, the US/Europe will step up their watch, funnel more extremists into the areas, install fascists, etc.
West already has tons of troops in Africa but it looks bad for their image if they’re going around killing black people so they’d rather farm it out to some local pawns. Quite frankly the battle for Africa is just beginning. Things are going to escalate. I hope Russia and China get more directly involved in the years to come or I fear Africa will end up in the same position South America was in the mid-20th century with regards to the type of people the US elevates and supports.
