Sub-Saharan Africa, After America

by Peter Zeihan on January 15, 2024

Next on the list in our ‘Post-American’ series is Sub-Saharan Africa. This region is filled with geographical challenges, slow growth and development, and several other obstacles, but a handful of countries will be alright.

Many of the countries in this region are a few decades behind the rest of the world, meaning their exposure to globalization is fairly limited. As the US steps back, these countries will experience less catastrophic fallout compared to fully globalized countries.

On the flip side, some countries, such as Senegal, Nigeria, Angola, South Africa, and the Kenya-Uganda corridor, will be taking on a more significant regional presence. These countries will likely benefit from partnerships with countries like France or Britain and investments to tap into their natural resources.

Remember, the diversity within Africa is unparalleled; between climates, development levels, education, and resources, the outcomes of deglobalization will vary from country to country and region to region.

We appreciate the interest and engagement from our followers, but with Peter’s travel schedule and sheer volume of requests, we are unable to answer non-business-related questions via e-mail. Use the ‘Ask Peter’ page below for your video topics, ideas and burning questions…

Here at Zeihan On Geopolitics we select a single charity to sponsor. We have two criteria:

 

First, we look across the world and use our skill sets to identify where the needs are most acute. Second, we look for an institution with preexisting networks for both materials gathering and aid distribution. That way we know every cent of our donation is not simply going directly to where help is needed most, but our donations serve as a force multiplier for a system already in existence. Then we give what we can.

 

Today, our chosen charity is a group called Medshare, which provides emergency medical services to communities in need, with a very heavy emphasis on locations facing acute crises. Medshare operates right in the thick of it. Until future notice, every cent we earn from every book we sell in every format through every retailer is going to Medshare’s Ukraine fund.

 

And then there’s you.

 

Our newsletters and videologues are not only free, they will always be free. We also will never share your contact information with anyone. All we ask is that if you find one of our releases in any way useful, that you make a donation to Medshare. Over one third of Ukraine’s pre-war population has either been forced from their homes, kidnapped and shipped to Russia, or is trying to survive in occupied lands. This is our way to help who we can. Please, join us.
