Resources, Power and Geopolitics: Is Africa the New Global Battleground?
In this episode of Eye of the Storm, ANC Member of Parliament unpacks a defining question of our time: Is Africa emerging as a central battleground in the global contest for power, resources, and influence?
As global tensions intensify and the Global South asserts its voice, the conversation explores how historical struggles against colonialism now intersect with modern geopolitical competition, economic interests, and ideological influence. The roots of this geopolitical competition are said to lie in Africa’s extraordinary wealth and potential.
“These battlegrounds arise given the fact that continents like ours are well endowed […] We are endowed with minerals, we are endowed with massive water resources, massive agricultural potential,” Cameron Dugmore, ANC MoP.
Africa’s greatest vulnerabilities may stem from internal divisions exploited by external actors.
“People would seek to divide Africa and let's face it, that's been one of our problems,” Dugmore remarks.
Why is Africa’s natural wealth becoming central to global power struggles, who are the key actors competing for these resources, and how is this competition reshaping global geopolitics?
To find out, watch this Eye of the Storm episode to understand how Africa is navigating a new era of global power struggles and why its choices will shape the future world order.
