Africa is storming into BRICS: Kenya and Co. are pushing into the alliance!

BRICS is facing a gigantic expansion! The international stage is electrified because the bloc with its nine full members could grow again from 2025. Africa in particular is being targeted – many people are already rubbing their hands here. Former Ethiopian parliament speaker Agegnehu Teshager announced this summer that all 54 African countries are eyeing the alliance. But logic sets limits, and bringing all countries into the BRICS boat would be a difficult feat. But hope is at hand: the establishment of a new BRICS organization and a partnership group model could mean the starting signal for more African countries to join the alliance's activities, he said the article from watcher.guru.

The BRICS members, especially China, have long been putting out feelers and are reportedly setting their sights on Zimbabwe. The vision: away from the dollar and towards strengthening local economic strength. With Egypt and Ethiopia the latest newcomers, countries like Kenya are increasingly warming to the alliance. President William Ruto is said to have already expressed interest. For Kenyan investment banker Aly Khan Satchu, BRICS appears to be a “shining star” for Africa – a route to independence from Bretton Woods organizations and the dollar. The signs point to growth and it seems as if Africa could soon become a new BRICS stronghold.
