Putin Targets Namibia’s Uranium as Russia Deepens Nuclear Push in Africa | Firstpost Africa

Russia is intensifying its engagement in Africa's energy sector, particularly in Namibia, the world’s third-largest uranium producer. Recent talks between officials from Windhoek and Moscow have progressed towards a nuclear cooperation agreement aimed at establishing a legal framework for joint nuclear projects. Rosatom is already conducting uranium exploration in Namibia, targeting completion by 2026 and mining by 2029. Namibia plans to develop its first nuclear plant to enhance energy security and reduce reliance on South Africa. The country seeks to utilize its uranium reserves to secure long-term energy options and does not intend to choose sides, insisting on a civilian nuclear agenda. --- Firstpost Africa | Joshua Barnes | Africa | Global South | Geopolitics | Military Coup | Environment | Climate Change | Firstpost | News Live | World News | Latest News | Global News | International News | News | Trending News #firstpostafrica #africa #joshuabarnes #globalsouth #militarycoup #firstpost #newslive #worldnews #latestnews #globalnews #news #internationalnews #trendingnews Firstpost is an Indian news and media website.
