🇩🇪 Deutschland Returns To Africa 🌏 Germany’s leading business lobby for Sub-Saharan Africa (SAFRI) urges Berlin to execute a decisive “Africa shift”, binding raw-materials pacts, bigger bets on AfCFTA, and fewer China-centric dependencies. 🚢 By 1914 Imperial Germany held four African colonies - Togoland, Kamerun, German South-West Africa (Namibia), German East Africa (Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi). Berlin’s next big attempt to project power into Africa came with Rommel’s Afrika Korps, landing at Tripoli on 11 Feb 1941 to duel for the Suez cahnnel and the Middle East oil. However, now one should not expect that the Germans will simply come to extract resources. Having been bullied by the whole world after WWII, Germany learned to follow subtle ways - and what they will go for is "green" energy, solar panels, patches for ozone holes. 💵 While the German left will shout about "authoritarian African dictators" and the right will shout about squandering taxpayers' money on bike paths in Nigeria, German capital will impose the "green" agenda and sell overpriced wind turbines to countries where half the population lives without electricity.
