Economic and security competition between the United States and Russia in Africa

Abstract

With the beginning of the third millennium AD, the African continent, with its diverse regions, and for various and varied reasons, acquired an exceptional position and importance. This has placed it at the core of the international and regional competitive
strategies of the major powers. Among the most important international powers competing in the African continent are
the United States and the Russian Federation, which are considered traditional powers that have been and are still engaged in different types of competition in this continent since the Cold War until now, and they will likely continue this policy of competition.
