Recently, several military coups occured in African countries, many of which have been successful. In this context, some experts have predicted a rise in Russian interests, a decline in French influence, a shift in regional power relations and increased instability. The Head of the Africa Research Institute, Prof. Dr. János Besenyő, has recently discussed such interesting issues (the interview is available by clicking on the link below).
“It is not only East and West that are in conflict, but also Islam and Christianity.
