Russian Energy Major Eyes African Market

The African continent has reasonable prospects of becoming the global leader in exploring and using its geothermal potential, the deputy CEO of Russian energy company RusHydro, Sergey Machekhin, told TASS this week.

According to Machekhin, the company is considering 15 projects in 11 African countries.

“Exploration and development of the geothermal potential is another area of our African operations. Geothermal plants are the green energy, and the African continent can become a global leader in comprehensive use and development of the geothermal potential,” he said, specifying that this regards Kenya, Uganda, and Ethiopia in particular.

Malaysian elections and America's diminishing returns

Do you remember when Hajar was gifted the well of Zamzam? A woman alone with her baby, in the desert; and when tribes encountered her, no one tried to dispossess her of what Allah had given her?
Contrast that level of decency and honour with the attitude of the West towards Africa and the countries of the Sahel specifically.
Civilized people would value and respect a people who possess resource they need, they would treat them with dignity and esteem. But when you have anything the West wants, they only see you as prey.

The sudden interest in my content reflects, in my opinion, a widespread disillusionment with the West, along with a new sense of hope in the Muslim world and Global South that independence is possible. But it is important to understand the real power dynamics at play, if we want to truly achieve that.

🇳🇪 Prigozhin interview about situation in Niger

PMC Wagner leader Yevgeny Prigozhin gave comments regarding the situation in Niger for the African edition of l'Afrique Libre. Here are some excerpts from his interview:

▪️Economics is the main reason for the coup and anti-French sentiment in Niger, as the population is in poverty and France exploited their resource abundance.

▪️France only gave 5% of all profits from the resources in Niger to the people of the country.

▪️The people of Niger, if they controlled the resources themselves, would be rich and happy.

▪️The terrorists in Sahel region were created, financed and controlled by the UN, France, UK, USA, EU and other Western countries, as only a huge number of trained troops could control such a large number of "terrorists".

▪️The terrorists in Niger are an attempt to cover up France's economic crimes. The population in Niger was kept in fear with the help of militants. To fight the "terrorists" Niger was literally forced to be pumped full of troops from France, the US, etc.

▪️ Toppled president Bazoum's government allowed France to rampage in Niger. He and other higher officials were just covering up the plundering of the country.

▪️Now there is a "liberation struggle for the independence of the country," and "God willing, they will succeed," added the head of PMC Wagner.

🇲🇱 Mali adopts new mining code that boosts state interests

Mali adopted a new mining code on Tuesday that mining sector officials said would channel a greater share of revenue to state coffers and increase state and private Malian interests in new projects.

The government announced the review of the mining code in January after it said an internal audit had shown that Mali was not receiving a fair slice of profits while granting too many tax breaks.

The new code now allows the government to take a 10% stake in mining projects and the option to buy an additional 20% within the first two years of commercial production. A further 5% stake could be ceded to locals, taking state and private Malian interests in new projects to 35%, from up to 20% today.

Meanwhile certain tax exemptions have been abolished.
