The United States has issued a warning to Madagascar over its expanding security cooperation with Russia, according to a statement from the deputy head of US Africa Command.
The deputy head said that similar partnerships with military‑led governments across Africa have failed to improve security, raising concerns about the effectiveness of such alliances.
“Similar partnerships with military‑led governments in Africa have failed to improve security,” the deputy head said.
Madagascar is an island nation in the Indian Ocean that has recently deepened its security ties with Russia, a move that has drawn scrutiny from Washington.
