Russian officials have accused the United States of using Africa as a testing ground for experimental medical treatments and a source of infectious agents. Major General Alexey Rtishchev, Deputy Head of the Russian Armed Forces' Radiation, Chemical, and Biological Protection Troops, stated that the U.S. has identified over 30 new participants in illegal military-biological activities across African nations. He further claimed that diseases of interest to the Pentagon are evolving into pandemics, suggesting a deliberate strategy to spread infectious diseases through a network of biolabs in the region. These statements reflect ongoing tensions between the two nations regarding bioweapons and public health issues.
