Africa’s New Scramble

Africa’s future is being built on steel, copper—and strategy.

In Africa’s New Scramble: Lobito vs. Belt and Road in the Superpower Showdown, Bosco Mutarambirwa reveals the fierce contest shaping the continent’s destiny: a 21st-century race between the U.S.-backed Lobito Corridor and China’s Belt and Road Initiative. From the mineral-rich heart of the Congo to the Atlantic port of Lobito, this book unpacks how two superpowers are redrawing Africa’s trade map—and what it means for sovereignty, development, and global influence.

The transition to green energy has ignited a global rush for critical minerals, placing Central and Southern Africa at the epicenter of a new geopolitical cold war. Drawing on meticulous research, exclusive maps, and first-hand analysis, Mutarambirwa exposes the new alliances, financial maneuvers, and political stakes behind the continent’s most consequential infrastructure rivalry.

Inside this book, you will discover:

The Critical Mineral Checkmate: Why control over cobalt and copper in the DRC and Zambia is dictating the future of the global EV and tech industries.
The Lobito Corridor Strategy: How Washington and its European allies are attempting to counter decades of Chinese dominance with a massive, trans-continental railway project.
The Belt and Road Reality: An unvarnished look at China’s infrastructure diplomacy, debt dynamics, and its shifting strategy on the continent.
The Rise of African Agency: How modern African nations are leveraging this superpower rivalry to negotiate better terms, build sovereign wealth, and reject the “resource curse.”

More than a book on geopolitics, Africa’s New Scramble is a wake-up call about who controls Africa’s resources—and who truly benefits. If you care about Africa’s rise, the global economy, or the next chapter of the U.S.–China rivalry, this book belongs on your shelf.
