Енергетична політика Китаю у Північній Африці
Відносини Китаю з арабськими країнами Північної Африки (ПА) одні з найбільш давніх у регіоні MENA. В роки «холодної війни» Китай та країни ПА були об’єднані антиколоніальною політикою. Дипломатичні відносини між КНР та країнами ПА були встановленні переважно в 50-х – 60-х роках минулого століття, і найпізніше з Лівією — у 1978 році.

Oleksiy Volovych Over the past 20 years, China has increased its economic presence in Africa, and this trend will continue in the future, as it is extremely attractive for both China itself and for many African countries. The predicted critical shortage of natural resources for China’s economy and the need to expand global demand for Chinese goods make Africa a strategic asset for economic cooperation and guarantees of economic security of the Celestial. In our view, China’s economic and military presence on the African continent has become so large-scaled that the USA’s possible attempts “to push it out” of Africa are clearly doomed to fail, or they can provoke a planetary…

Russia’s Rivalry with the West Is Clearly Visible in Libya Oleksiy Volovych Despite all the adventurous attempts by the Kremlin to get a foothold in Libya and make that country “pro-Russian”, this will hardly happen in the foreseeable future, as the economic opportunities of the current Russia and its geopolitical weight are much weaker compared to the capabilities of the USSR. On the other hand, Libya is currently the object of geopolitical interests of such influential states as the US, France, Italy, the KSA, the OAE, Qatar and Turkey, with which Russia cannot compete due to its limited financial resources. The…

Oleksiy Volovych April 4, 2019 the Libyan National Army under the command of Marshal Khalifa Haftar launched an offensive against the capital of Tripoli. The declared by H. Hafthar aim of the attack was supposedly to “clean the Tripoli from islamists and terrorists”, although the true aim of this offensive is, in fact, to drive away the Government of National Accord (GNA) of Libya led by Kh. Haftar’s longtime opponent, Prime Minister Fayez al-Sarraj, supported by some western countries and the UN. Estimating the parties’ chances to win, it should be noted that the chances of the Commander of the LNA to win…

Sudan and the Interests of the United States, the PRC and the RF Oleksiy Volovych On April 11, 2019, a military coup took place in Sudan. The Command of Sudan’s Armed Forces arrested and removed from all posts the country’s President, Omar al-Bashir (75 years old), who came to power in 1989 after a military coup.
