Africa’s persistent conflicts and widespread impunity often perpetuated by Western-backed regimes have created deep political and socio-economic instability across the continent. These unresolved issues are rooted in neo-imperialistic practices, where Western powers exert influence over African leaders and resources, fostering corruption, inequality, and a lack of accountability. As a result, many African nations are reevaluating their global partnerships. This paper explores how these dynamics are catalyzing a shift toward the BRICS+ alliance, which offers an alternative framework for development, cooperation, and political autonomy. Through a structured literature review, it highlights how African countries are increasingly drawn to BRICS+ due to its emphasis on mutual respect, collective bargaining, and independence from Western-dominated institutions like the IMF and World Bank. The BRICS+ bloc presents opportunities for African nations to engage in equitable trade, infrastructure development, and technological innovation particularly in sectors like renewable energy and biotech. The rise of tech-driven economies and the desire for self-determined growth are motivating African leaders to seek partnerships that prioritize justice, transparency, and sustainable development. Ultimately, the unresolved conflicts and impunity in Africa are not just internal challenges, they are catalysts for a broader geopolitical realignment, as African countries turn toward BRICS+ to reclaim agency and reshape their futures.
