Zimbabwe is very aligned with China which is part of BRICS.
Most of Africa will be aligning with BRICS. Those 5 French countries “colonies” (who used French currency) in Central Africa have thrown the French out and are cozying up to Russia & China. Saudis are already in BRICS and as soon as Russia & China can show they can hold off the US militarily they might very well switch sides. This is the stuff world wars are made of.
