It's also worth noting that within black Africa, the countries with The industrial and academic capacity to build one don't have any actual enemies. (Sa, Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, TZ, etc)
It's extremely rare to see cross country fighting, when most African fighting is internal , which eliminates the paki/India/iran incentive to go nuclear . Additionally, no great power has any incentive to actually attack them which eliminates the North Korea incentive to develop nukes.
At this point the only motivation may be national prestige. But The economic consequences of pursuing a nuclear program would make this reason foolish.
Whilel I like the idea of Burkina Faso being able to pull it off, let's not kid ourselves here about their lack of industrial capacity, academic capacity, and supply chains. Maybe 40 or 50 years from now, but I highly doubt any of this sahel alliance countries could pull it off in our lifetimes, even with Russian assistance.
Other than them, the only nation with regional beef may be Ethiopia. But they far outclass all of their nonkenyan neighbors in conventional arms giving them no incentive to pursue nuclear armament.
Were you in a bunker overnight too?
