Summary
Russian state disinformation campaigns are aggressively spreading across Africa, with Moscow using manipulated images and deceptive narratives to bolster its global influence.
Campaigns mix truths with distortions, employing local influencers, nano-influencers, and buzzers to amplify messages.
State-sponsored efforts extend to radio stations and online news outlets, weaving networks that adapt propaganda to local cultural contexts and historical sentiments.
These tactics stoke anti-West anger and revive nostalgic Soviet-era alliances, effectively challenging Western influence while reshaping Africa’s political landscape.

France has been shown the boot in all of the African nations as it stands today.
