This article looks at how global politics are changing in Africa with Donald Trump’s return to the White House, the renewed activities of Russia on the African continent and China’s increasing influence. It explains how these three powers compete in shaping the political and economic future of Africa. The paper shows how shifting alliances from trade, investment, security and diplomacy affect African countries in a changing global order. By highlighting these dynamics, the study helps readers understand why Africa has become an important arena in today’s world politics and what this means for the continent’s development and sovereignty.
