France benefits from Francafrique in many ways, and the EU too. And paying directly into France's budget is probably the smallest. Cheap resources, priority for French companies in state enterprises, they can trade in Euro (previously in Franc), which creates demand for the Euro, and whatnot.
For China Africa in general means cheap resources, but has to invest, but that money goes straight back to China because that's how they do it, they give loans to countries to build stuff, but they have to offer the contracts to Chinese companies. Sounds like a money laundering scheme to me, lel.
For Russia the whole thing means next to nothing. Russia has resources, and Russia ain't big of an investor me thinks. I think it's mostly relations, and influence, political capital. Perhaps they can sell weapons. But they have to maintain military presence, this what Wagner does.
US has the opportunity now to whip her subordinates, and neuter competing European powers. Like France. Macron dared to be upset when the US made Straya to ditch that submarine contract for theirs. Put back into his place. US doesn't have to maintain order in Africa, she does not want to take over it from France, she just wants France not having it. She's fine with chaos, and Russia keeps order for him anyway. Besides chaos allows to pump Europe full with sub-Saharan Africans, that's good according all the left-libs. This is why the stable North African regimes were overthrown too anyway. She also needn't to worry about the Chinese investments because it goes slowly, especially among unstable circumstances. In fact all the coups, rebellions, civil wars, terrorists, banditry, hampers to realization of the investments, and development, which is detrimental to China.
