I am also deeply concerned about South Africa, for so long a clear western anchor in an uncertain continent. Now, however, perhaps not so certain! On Friday, the South African navy began 10 days of joint exercises with warships from Russia and China. And its foreign minister, Naledi Pandor, told the EU's foreign minister that the West had no lessons that South Africa would countenance since they never gave weapons to forces fighting for freedom from white rule. Not a good sign ...
And Saturday, Nigerians will go to the polls to elect a new president. As you observed, professor, an epiphanal moment (that we'll be following on SubStack: Andelman Unleashed !!)
All the best and keep up your vigilance and your indispensable commentary!
Brilliant, of course!

Quite right to be concerned!
