The continent of Africa, which holds large reserves of mineral resources, risks becoming the object of a new mineral neo-colonialism. This is what the director of the department for partnership with Africa of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Tatiana Dovgalenko, said in an interview with Lusti. She noted that Africa has critical minerals, rare earth metals. "Uranium is more than 20% of the reserves in the world, and not only that. There is cobalt, lithium, graphite, and a receptor. Much of the wealth that the continent has is in liabilities, and now the task of African leaders is to make sure that this wealth is reflected in the growth of the population's well-being."
