Two superpowers. One continent. A new scramble for Africa is underway.
This time, the battle is not being fought with armies. It is being fought with railways, ports, critical minerals, financing, and control of the routes that connect Africa to the world.
In Africa's New Scramble: Lobito vs. Belt and Road in the Superpower Showdown, Bosco Mutarambirwa examines the high-stakes contest between the U.S.-backed Lobito Corridor and China's Belt and Road Initiative, and what that rivalry means for Africa's sovereignty, industrial future, and place in the global economy.
From the cobalt and copper fields of the Democratic Republic of Congo and Zambia to Angola's Atlantic port of Lobito, the book follows the infrastructure, financing, diplomacy, and strategic calculations reshaping the continent.
Inside, you'll discover:
Drawing on policy data, original maps, economic analysis, and geopolitical research, Mutarambirwa reveals the alliances, financing strategies, and competing visions behind one of the most consequential contests of the twenty-first century.
Clear, urgent, and deeply researched, Africa's New Scramble asks the question outsiders too often overlook: not simply who will win the contest for Africa, but whether Africa can turn that contest into power of its own.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. AFRICA IS NO LONGER THE PRIZE. IT IS THE PIVOT.The 21st-century race for global dominance is not fought with armies, but with asphalt, steel, and debt. At the heart of this geopolitical showdown is Africa, the supplier of the world's most critical green energy minerals.In the late 1800s, Europe launched the Scramble for Africa. Today, a New Scramble is underway, defined by two competing economic visions: China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI): A massive empire of infrastructure-built for speed, secured by debt, and anchored by efficiency.America's Lobito Corridor: A Western-backed counter-strategy offering transparency, local ownership, and a direct Atlantic route for minerals.Drawing on expert analysis and 2025 updates, Africa's New Scramble exposes the true stakes of this rivalry: control over the supply chains of the future. The book reveals how Beijing's "Digital Silk Web" and Washington's "Atlantic Gambit" both leverage infrastructure as an instrument of influence.This book is essential for understanding: The Copperbelt Calculus: Why Central Africa's mineral wealth (DRC, Zambia) has become the most contested economic zone on earth.Sovereignty 2.0: How African nations are using the competition itself as leverage to escape the "Resource Curse," demanding transparency, fair contracts, and local value creation.The Geopolitics of Corridors: How the new network of ports and railways will shape trade, security, and climate justice for the next century.The moral of the map is clear: Africa is refusing to be the terrain of the struggle. It is becoming the referee. The world's next economic equilibrium will depend on who Africa chooses to partner with, and under what terms.
