Russia Authorises a Nuclear Deal with West African Allies, Mali and Burkina Faso | Firstpost Africa

Russia is significantly expanding its influence in West Africa, cementing ties with its key allies Mali and Burkina Faso through a newly authorised nuclear energy agreement. This marks a strategic move by Moscow to deepen its footprint in the region, particularly with nations that have recently distanced themselves from Western institutions. The proposed nuclear deal, now officially authorised by Moscow, will see Russia's state atomic energy firm, Rosatom, spearhead the construction of nuclear power facilities and research reactors in both Burkina Faso and Mali. According to media reports, Rosatom will provide crucial services related to the nuclear fuel cycle, firmly putting Russia at the foundation of the two countries' efforts to utilise nuclear energy for civilian purposes.
