Is Washington Monitoring Tebboune’s Moves at the African Union Summit? Attempts to Buy the Allegiance of African Nations with Algerian Funds

ALDAR/

As the African Union Summit convenes in Addis Ababa, questions arise about whether the United States is closely monitoring Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune’s maneuvers to gain influence within the continental organization. Following Algeria’s failure to secure a seat on the African Union’s Peace and Security Council, the Algerian leadership appears to have reverted to traditional methods—attempting to buy loyalties and win over certain countries through financial incentives sourced from Algerian public funds.

This approach raises debates about its effectiveness in today’s world, where political alignments are increasingly based on clear strategic and economic foundations rather than temporary financial influence. Will global powers, particularly Washington, turn a blind eye to these practices, or will geopolitical shifts make it difficult for such tactics to continue without scrutiny?
