The light-water technology used by companies like Rosatom, which is building Egypt\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2017\/12\/13\/egypt-to-receive-first-tranche-of-russian-loan-for-dabaa-in-january-sources\/\">USD 30 bn Dabaa nuclear power plant<\/a>, typically generates more power than most African countries have the infrastructure to distribute. Critics argue that large projects designed to distribute electricity over national grids \u2015 which are absent in many African countries \u2015 will perpetuate the exclusion of those who already lack access to energy.<\/p>\n<p><b>The Ruskies using energy for influence is not unlike China\u2019s use of the Belt and Road Initiative<\/b> in Africa and Asia for the same goal.

As economic ties grow, so do military and diplomatic ones. The BRI has also been raising eyebrows for luring developing countries into debt traps, with some countries even going as far as describing the Chinese initiative as the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2018\/12\/17\/chinas-belt-and-road-initiative-sparks-backlash-across-asia\/\">new version of colonialism<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>Some criticism is fair, but there\u2019s a reason Moscow and Beijing are welcome in Africa.<\/b> Russia and China clearly both want to make strategic and economic gains through their relationships in Africa.
