TOUS 4802 Russie Afrique Rosatom renforce ses ambitions dans le nucleaire civil

At the Russia-Africa summit held in Moscow on October 28 and 29, civil nuclear energy emerged as a strategic focus for closer ties between Moscow and several African countries. The Russian state-owned nuclear group Rosatom is expanding its cooperation projects, particularly in Egypt, Ethiopia, and the Sahel, promising to contribute to the continent's energy security. However, these partnerships raise questions about costs, long-term financing, and the risk of technological dependence on Russia. For African states, the challenge will be to translate these announcements into concrete projects while preserving their energy independence.
