The Geopolitical Role Of Africa In Enhancing Oil And Gas Supplies Amid Current International Crises.

Authors : Elhamza Ahmed . Elbar Amine .

Abstract

This study aims to investigate Africa's role in meeting the increasing global demand for energy in light of geopolitical challenges and current international crises. This is due to Africa's geopolitical position and vast resources, as major powers seek to enhance their relationships with African countries to secure sustainable and stable supplies of oil and gas. Africa has become a suitable alternative to the global energy market, especially with the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian war, which has led European countries to search for alternatives to Russian oil and gas, amid sanctions imposed on Russia in an attempt to get rid of its dependence on the Russian energy market
