Mathieu GottelandBut the ball is now in the West's (and particularly <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/Portugal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Portugal</a>'s) court to address <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/GuineaBissau" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GuineaBissau</a>'s concerns and agency. Embaló visited Kyiv in October 2022. In a similar way to his current praise of all the support received from the USSR, he then underlined quite close historical relations. He expressed his shock by Russian aggression and its visible consequences. He also called <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/Ukraine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ukraine</a> a "strategic partner". <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/Russia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Russia</a> <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/Portugal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Portugal</a> <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/CPLP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CPLP</a> <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/PALOP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PALOP</a>

Mathieu GottelandThis comes on the heels of <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/Russia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Russia</a> writing off nearly $27 million, equivalent of 80% of <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/GuineaBissau" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GuineaBissau</a>'s debt. The <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/CPLP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CPLP</a> and <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/Portugal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Portugal</a> are currently worried about Russia's diplomatic offensive in Portuguese-speaking African countries (<a href="https://newsie.social/tags/PALOP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PALOP</a>). I have stated recently for Expresso that the country was one of Russia's most obvious next target within PALOP. <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/Ukraine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ukraine</a>

Mathieu Gotteland<a href="https://newsie.social/tags/GuineaBissau" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GuineaBissau</a> special forces to be trained in <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/Chechnya" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Chechnya</a>The Portuguese-speaking country has a security agreement with <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/Russia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Russia</a> since 2019. The decision was taken as Guinea-Bissau's president Umaro Sissoco Embaló visited Moscow and Grozny. In Moscow, he stated his country was Russia's "permanent ally" and "reliable partner". <a href="https://www.publico.pt/2024/05/13/mundo/noticia/forcas-especiais-guinebissau-vao-formadas-chechenia-2090286" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.publico.pt/2024/05/13/mundo/noticia/forcas-especiais-guinebissau-vao-formadas-chechenia-2090286</a><a href="https://newsie.social/tags/Portugal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Portugal</a> <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/CPLP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CPLP</a> <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/PALOP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PALOP</a> <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/Ukraine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ukraine</a>

Mathieu GottelandTravels on the continent, meetings with African heads of state, opening of new embassies will not be enough to sway <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/PALOP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PALOP</a>/African countries one way or another. Of primary importance is to address African concerns and adapt to African agency. A fact that <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/Portugal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Portugal</a> has failed to learn so far, if we are to believe its recent reaction to the <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/Russia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Russia</a>-<a href="https://newsie.social/tags/S%C3%A3oTom%C3%A9" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SãoTomé</a> deal. <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/Ukraine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ukraine</a> <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/CPLP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CPLP</a>

Mathieu GottelandSuch is the case of <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/EquatorialGuinea" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EquatorialGuinea</a> (that signed an agreement with <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/Belarus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Belarus</a> last December) or <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/S%C3%A3oTom%C3%A9" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SãoTomé</a> (which recently signed a defence agreement with <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/Russia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Russia</a>). Those agreements should not be taken as a sign that these nations are allying and aligning with Russia.<a href="https://newsie.social/tags/Ukraine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ukraine</a> <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/PALOP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PALOP</a> <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/CPLP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CPLP</a>

Mathieu GottelandWhile Russian influence in <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/Angola" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Angola</a> is indeed waning - although not as a direct consequence of the war - and Ukrainian efforts have been positively received in several countries, the war has rather been an incentive for several <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/PALOP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PALOP</a> countries to try their hand at multivectorial diplomacy. <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/Russia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Russia</a> <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/Ukraine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ukraine</a> <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/CPLP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CPLP</a>

Mathieu GottelandNone however have voted in favour of the removal of <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/Russia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Russia</a> from the <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/UN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UN</a> Human Rights Council. (<a href="https://newsie.social/tags/CapeVerde" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CapeVerde</a> has also been the first African country to confirm its participation to <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/Ukraine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ukraine</a>'s peace summit, to be held shortly) <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/CPLP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CPLP</a> <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/PALOP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PALOP</a>

Mathieu GottelandAt the same time, upholding of the <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/UN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UN</a> charter is of paramount concern for <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/Africa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Africa</a>. All of those countries have condemned the violation of Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity - albeit vocalizing this condemnation more or less openly. Only <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/CapeVerde" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CapeVerde</a> and <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/S%C3%A3oTom%C3%A9andPr%C3%ADncipe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SãoToméandPríncipe</a> have consistently supported <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/Ukraine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ukraine</a> at the UN General Assembly. <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/CPLP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CPLP</a> <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/PALOP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PALOP</a>

Mathieu Gotteland<a href="https://newsie.social/tags/Angola" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Angola</a> and <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/CapeVerde" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CapeVerde</a> are openly getting closer to the West as a result of inner policy concerns, but <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/Russia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Russia</a> has friendly ties with most countries of the region, ties those countries do not rush to strain. Those ties have been helped by recent Russian efforts at strengthening its influence on the continent and getting rid of Western competitors. <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/Ukraine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ukraine</a> <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/CPLP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CPLP</a> <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/PALOP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PALOP</a>

Mathieu Gotteland<a href="https://newsie.social/tags/Ukraine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ukraine</a> and <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/Russia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Russia</a> are both vying for influence - including in the information space - and are getting different results depending on histories, memories, strategic imperatives in different <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/PALOP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PALOP</a> countries. <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/CPLP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CPLP</a>

Mathieu GottelandAs the title states, <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/Angola" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Angola</a> stands to benefit the most, as <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/EU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EU</a> countries are looking for alternate energy suppliers. However, the most immediate consequence has been the challenge to food security presented by the blockade of the <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/BlackSea" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BlackSea</a>. This has been a major tool for Ukrainian policy through the "Grain from <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/Ukraine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ukraine</a>" initiative. <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/Mozambique" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mozambique</a> is one of the main recipients. <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/Russia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Russia</a> <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/CPLP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CPLP</a> <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/PALOP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PALOP</a>

Mathieu GottelandThe main points of the interview I gave to Expresso about the Portuguese-speaking African countries (<a href="https://newsie.social/tags/PALOP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PALOP</a>) and the Russian invasion of <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/Ukraine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ukraine</a> (behind paywall) (<a href="https://newsie.social/tags/Angola" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Angola</a>, <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/CapeVerde" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CapeVerde</a>, <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/EquatorialGuinea" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EquatorialGuinea</a>, <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/GuineaBissau" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GuineaBissau</a>, <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/Mozambique" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mozambique</a>, <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/S%C3%A3oTom%C3%A9andPr%C3%ADncipe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SãoToméandPríncipe</a>)<a href="https://expresso.pt/internacional/guerra-na-ucrania/2024-05-14-paises-africanos-lusofonos-tem-adotado-posicao-mista-face-a-invasao-russa-da-ucrania-e-angola-beneficiou-claramente-da-guerra-a3483a31" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://expresso.pt/internacional/guerra-na-ucrania/2024-05-14-paises-africanos-lusofonos-tem-adotado-posicao-mista-face-a-invasao-russa-da-ucrania-e-angola-beneficiou-claramente-da-guerra-a3483a31</a><a href="https://newsie.social/tags/Russia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Russia</a> <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/CPLP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CPLP</a>

Mathieu GottelandYes, the <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/CPLP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CPLP</a> is Putin's next target in <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/Africa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Africa</a>. Some countries are at the moment easier catches than others (namely <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/GuineaBissau" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GuineaBissau</a> and <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/Mozambique" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mozambique</a>).It will depend in a great part on the specific histories, memories and strategic imperatives of those countries. STP's government thus expresses its grievances towards their traditional partners. <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/Portugal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Portugal</a> has been active, but not effective enough on the archipelago.<a href="https://newsie.social/tags/Russia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Russia</a> <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/S%C3%A3oTom%C3%A9andPr%C3%ADncipe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SãoToméandPríncipe</a> <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/Angola" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Angola</a> <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/Mozambique" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mozambique</a> <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/CaboVerde" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CaboVerde</a> <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/Portugal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Portugal</a>

Mathieu Gotteland<a href="https://newsie.social/tags/Portugal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Portugal</a> however has been pro-active in her cooperation with <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/STP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#STP</a> and the wider Community of Portuguese-Speaking Countries (<a href="https://newsie.social/tags/CPLP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CPLP</a>), including by pushing a mobility deal that put her at odds with the <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/EU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EU</a> commission. Some fear the newest agreement might threaten CPLP itself. There is also, as elsewhere in <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/Africa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Africa</a>, the question of whether this Russian partnership will endanger French and <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/US" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#US</a> involvement. <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/France" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#France</a> <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/S%C3%A3oTom%C3%A9andPr%C3%ADncipe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SãoToméandPríncipe</a> <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/Russia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Russia</a>
