The Cameroonians clearly aren't concerned. Starting the Rail build this month.
Decent amount of YouTube content came out of the recent 'Summit For A New Global Financing Pact' in Paris.
"South Africa President Warns the West that Africa is not Your Property"
"In an unusual direct message to other world leaders gathered in Paris, France, South Africa's President, Cyril Ramaphosa has warned that Africa should not be treated as beggars. Africa's clout is growing. He says the lives of the people in the global North is not worth more than those in the South. President Cyril Ramaphosa also hinted that the continued use of the dollar as the international currency of trade will be on the agenda of the next BRIC summit in South Africa. President Cyril Ramaphosa was speaking at a gathering of world leaders' Summit For A New Global Financing Pact in Paris France."
Macron himself had been "...checked By DR Congo President During Press Conference"
The upcoming 15th BRICS Summit to be held in South Africa will be interesting. "South Africa will host the 15th BRICS Summit at the Sandton Convention Centre in Sandton, Johannesburg, from 22 to 24 August 2023." I was wondering if Xi Jinping (or Putin) will attend in person? "In May 2023, South Africa government, led by the African National Congress (ANC), granted all invited leaders diplomatic immunity." "In mid-July 2023, Vladimir Putin announced that he would not attend the summit "by mutual agreement" and would instead be sending Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov."
China and Africa have certainly been forging closer ties for some time now. It feels like we're at a major tipping point.
Would like to hear more news related to the China Mineral Resources Group (CMRG) also. Mining.com and the AFR reported news this week..."Most Chinese steel mills are due to conduct annual contract negotiations with the miners towards the end of the year. That may provide an opportunity to try to gauge the role CMRG is going to play in the global iron ore market."
