" Ghana Among List of African Countries Where the Most Intense Battle for Global Influence Occurs \r\n \r\n\r\nThe fight for influence in Africa has never been more fierce, given that foreign forces are vying for military, political, and economic control, as well as new political ideologies emerging in certain African countries.\r\n\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n\r\nFor instance, the new\u00a0 anti-West sentiments in some parts of the Sahel region \u00a0have prompted regional and international entities to compete for power, which Russia seems to be winning.\r\n\r\n \r\n \r\n\r\nAccording to the\u00a0 Geopolitical Influence & Peace report , ideological differences amongst major global powers have widened, with authoritarian governments such as China and Russia advocating alternative forms of government in opposition to liberal democracies.\r\n\r\n \r\n \r\n\r\n\u201cThese developments, coupled with the rise of strategic decoupling and a resurgence of proxy conflicts in regions like Africa,\u201d the report states.\r\n\r\n \r\n \r\n\r\nThe United States has more than 10% influence in 74 low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), whereas China has 65%.\r\n\r\n \r\n \r\n\r\nWhile both countries have similar levels of influence in Asia-Pacific, there are significant differences in influence elsewhere, with China controlling 27 sub-Saharan African states compared to 9 for the US.\r\n\r\n \r\n \r\n\r\nChina has been at the forefront of Africa\u2019s transformation, investing billions in infrastructure projects through its Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Chinese-funded roads, railways, ports, and energy projects have reshaped African economies, providing much-needed development.\r\n\r\n \r\n \r\n\r\nVery recently, China promised a\u00a0 whopping $51 billion in funding for Africa , expanded infrastructure projects, and the creation of at least 1 million jobs.\r\n\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n China pledges $51 billion in funding to Africa, plans to create a million jobs. \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n\r\nHowever, concerns over debt dependency, environmental impact, and China\u2019s political influence have led to criticism. Despite this, Beijing remains Africa\u2019s largest trading partner, leveraging economic diplomacy to deepen ties across the continent.\r\n\r\n \r\n \r\n\r\nIn response, the United States has shifted its Africa strategy in recent years, focusing on countering China and Russia\u2019s growing influence.\r\n\r\n \r\n \r\n\r\nWith that said, here are the countries with the most intense foreign influence competition since 2011.\r\n\r\n \r\n \r\n List of African countries with the most intense battle for global power influence since 2011: \r\n\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Country \r\n Sub-region \r\n Competition Level \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Algeria \r\n North Africa \r\n High Competition \r\n \r\n \r\n Tunisia \r\n North Africa \r\n High Competition \r\n \r\n \r\n Mauritania \r\n North Africa \r\n High Competition \r\n \r\n \r\n Libya \r\n North Africa \r\n High Competition \r\n \r\n \r\n Egypt \r\n North Africa \r\n High Competition \r\n \r\n \r\n Mali \r\n West Africa \r\n High Competition \r\n \r\n \r\n Guinea \r\n West Africa \r\n High Competition \r\n \r\n \r\n C\u00f4te d'Ivoire \r\n West Africa \r\n High Competition \r\n \r\n \r\n Liberia \r\n West Africa \r\n High Competition \r\n \r\n \r\n Nigeria \r\n West Africa \r\n High Competition \r\n \r\n \r\n Burkina Faso \r\n West Africa \r\n High Competition \r\n \r\n \r\n Ghana \r\n West Africa \r\n High Competition \r\n \r\n \r\n Republic of Congo \r\n Central Africa \r\n High Competition \r\n \r\n \r\n Rwanda \r\n East Africa \r\n High Competition \r\n \r\n \r\n Kenya \r\n East Africa \r\n High Competition \r\n \r\n \r\n Madagascar \r\n East Africa \r\n High Competition \r\n \r\n \r\n Mozambique \r\n Southern Africa \r\n High Competition \r\n \r\n \r\n South Africa \r\n Southern Africa \r\n High Competition \r\n \r\n \r\n Morocco \r\n North Africa \r\n Moderate Competition \r\n \r\n \r\n Western Sahara \r\n North Africa \r\n Moderate Competition \r\n \r\n \r\n Senegal \r\n West Africa \r\n Moderate Competition \r\n \r\n \r\n Sierre Leone \r\n West Africa \r\n Moderate Competition \r\n \r\n \r\n Benin \r\n West Africa \r\n Moderate Competition \r\n \r\n \r\n Niger \r\n West Africa \r\n Moderate Competition \r\n \r\n \r\n Togo \r\n West Africa \r\n Moderate Competition \r\n \r\n \r\n Cameroon \r\n Central Africa \r\n Moderate Competition \r\n \r\n \r\n Equatorial Guinea \r\n Central Africa \r\n Moderate Competition \r\n \r\n \r\n Democratic Republic of Congo \r\n Central Africa \r\n Moderate Competition \r\n \r\n \r\n Burundi \r\n East Africa \r\n Moderate Competition \r\n \r\n \r\n Somalia \r\n East Africa \r\n Moderate Competition \r\n \r\n \r\n Ethiopia \r\n East Africa \r\n Moderate Competition \r\n \r\n \r\n Eritrea \r\n East Africa \r\n Moderate Competition \r\n \r\n \r\n Djibouti \r\n East Africa \r\n Moderate Competition \r\n \r\n \r\n Malawi \r\n East Africa \r\n Moderate Competition \r\n \r\n \r\n Botswana \r\n Southern Africa \r\n Moderate Competition \r\n \r\n \r\n Angola \r\n Southern Africa \r\n Moderate Competition \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n "
