Desperate times call for desperate measures seems to be Europe’s mantra now. They knew they went horribly wrong in sanctioning Russia. What was meant to cut Moscow’s revenues boomeranged and resulted in a severe energy crisis for the bloc. Now, the continent is eyeing African gas to make up for lost ground.

You may have heard of the saying that goes desperate times call for desperate measures this seems to be Europe’s Mantra now Europe knows that it went horribly wrong when it decided to impose sanctions on Russian energy what was meant to cut moscow’s revenues boomeranged and resulted in a severe

Energy crisis for the European Bloc Russia Europe’s largest exporter cutting off gas supplies meant citizens have to brace themselves for a long dark winter and the leadership was left scrambling to pull together a relief plan but with Europe and its lack of supplies on one side the fact is that Europe still has

To refill its gas storage for the upcoming winter now the continent is eyeing African gas to make up for the Lost ground but not without some resistance by Africans hello and welcome I am Shubhangi Sharma and you’re watching first post foreign Europe has been exploring Africa as an alternative for gas for some

Months now Nations on either side have Inked deals to make sure that Europe scales up its supplies for instance Senegal and Mauritania are planning to ship LNG to Germany the Senegalese government expects to supply Europe’s largest economy with 2.5 million tons of gas from 2023 and as much as 10 million

Tons by 2030. for Senegal this would mean bringing in much needed revenue for the country that has traditionally lagged behind in exports as the president of Senegal Maki Saul told the UN last month it is legitimate fair and Equitable that Africa the continent that pollutes the least and lags furthest

Behind in the industrialization process should exploit its available resources to provide Basic Energy improve the competitiveness of its economy and Achieve universal access to electricity Europe is also considering Nations like Algeria and Nigeria as possible alternatives for gas supply given their Rich reserves take Algeria for instance the nation produces 120 billion cubic

Meters of gas which is almost half of what Russia produces annually Europe’s eyes have lit up they know they’ve found alternatives but environmentalists whose side Europe is generally on seem to send something more Sinister in Europe’s intentions they feel a poor continent like Africa will be made Europe’s gas station and

That too at a very cheap rate you see Africa is vulnerable to exploitation around 600 million in Africa are still devoid of electricity so one understands their desperation to get in some Revenue but there’s another side to it it is the aspect of climate change Africa produces six percent of

The world’s fossil gas and coupled with climate change their agriculture has taken a big hit but now if Europe wants Africa to ramp up production that means digging further occupying more land and possibly damaging its own natural resources the world has taken strict cognizance of how harmful fossil gas can

Be it wants countries to shift to clean our energy and reduce dependence on fossil fuel and here’s the main irony Europe was also one of the blocks lecturing developing nations on this Amani Abu said the African Union’s commissioner for energy and infrastructure said just two to three

Months ago those same Europeans who were lecturing us on no gas say they’ll make a compromise we are trying to survive but instead we are being infantilized effectively for as long as Europe needs African gas it is no longer going to tell the continent to stop producing natural gas clearly its priorities have

Shifted from climate change to survival the question is is this not a case of double standards on the part of Europe do let us know what you think in the comments foreign
