Can European nations survive without Africa’s resources? Today we break down the real numbers behind Europe’s dependence on Africa — from Algerian gas and Nigerian oil to Congo’s cobalt and South Africa’s platinum.
The answer might surprise you: Europe’s overall trade with Africa is smaller than many think, but in critical minerals for EVs, batteries, clean energy and defence, Africa is hard to replace. And China sits in the middle of it all.
In this live stream:
• How much Europe really imports from Africa
• Gas & oil: Algeria, Libya, Nigeria and the Russia lesson
• Uranium and what the Niger coup revealed
• Critical minerals: cobalt (DRC), platinum (South Africa) and the EU Critical Raw Materials Act
• China’s grip on African mining and refining
• Is Africa finally demanding a better deal?
