BRICS boom in Africa: Kenya in sight – will the big expansion come in 2025?

2025 is just around the corner and the rumor mill is churning! The BRICS alliance continues to capture the world's attention, and now an exciting development is on the horizon: another expansion step could be on the horizon that puts Africa in the spotlight. Wow! All African countries are said to have expressed interest in joining the bloc, as former Ethiopian parliament speaker Agegnehu Teshager recently announced. While full accession by all 54 countries is unlikely, a new BRICS organizational structure and partnership group could open barriers to more African influences in the bloc according to information from watcher.guru.

China, one of the major BRICS members, has apparently already made efforts to allow another African country, Zimbabwe, to join. The BRICS strategy of breaking away from dollar dependence is attracting many developing countries who want to use it to strengthen their domestic markets and currencies. In addition to Ethiopia and Egypt, which are already on board, Kenya's President William Ruto has now also put out feelers to join the club. Experts like Aly Khan Satchu from Kenya praise BRICS as a real “guiding star” – nothing less! The chances are good that Africa will become the new BRICS hub by 2025. Which nations will follow next remains exciting!
