Africa is becoming more of a contested hotbed. Does the EU and the US still have the financial means or political backup to fight for their colonies?

🇪🇺🇬🇦 #EU to discuss #Gabon after takeover announcement

European Union defence ministers are to discuss the situation in Gabon, EU's foreign policy chief Josep #Borrell has said.

"If this is confirmed, it is another military #coup which increases instability in the whole region," Borrell said speaking to a meeting of EU defense ministers in Toledo, Spain.

"The whole area, starting with Central African Republic, then Mali, then Burkina Faso, now Niger, maybe Gabon, it's in a very difficult situation and certainly the ministers have to have a deep thought on what is going on there and how we can improve our policy in respect with these countries," he said.
