China-South Sudan Oil Deal Raises Red Flags

  • Will Russia and South Africa continue the energy dialogue?
  • The energy dialogue between Russia and South Africa is set to continue within the BRICS framework where natural complementary elements exist between all member states. The shelved nuclear deal holds key lessons too, to ensure that energy cooperation is approached with some level of rationality and understanding of differing country priorities.
  • Why should Russia invest in Africa?
  • However, accessing valuable natural resources, such as gold, diamonds, uranium, and oil, remains a priority. And amid increasing global demand for the inputs necessary for alternative energies and advanced technologies, Africa’s vast reserves of critical minerals motivate Moscow’s efforts as well.
  • Is Russia a powerhouse in Africa?
  • Economically, Russia is not a powerhouse in Africa: less than 1 percent of the country’s foreign direct investment goes to the African continent, and its $18 billion in trade with African countries lags far behind the United States’ $64 billion [PDF] and China’s $254 billion, according to the Congressional Research Service.
  • Is South Africa still on Russia's horizon?
  • While the controversial $76-billion nuclear energy deal between South Africa and Russia is off the cards, the country — and by extension, the remaining BRICS nations — is still on Russia’s horizon when it comes to energy partnerships. Looking back, the flawed nuclear deal offers lessons for future engagement on this front.
  • Does Russia have a role in Africa?
  • Russia’s spreading influence in Africa has raised alarm in some outside countries, while others are eyeing the potential benefits. Many experts see China, generally agnostic on the internal politics of its partners, as unlikely to play a role in constraining Russia.
  • Could Saudi Arabia join China & Russia?
  • Saudi Arabia is among the nations seeking membership, raising the possibility of the oil giant moving a little closer to China and Russia. Others who have applied include Argentina, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Indonesia and the United Arab Emirates, according to officials.
