They don't care, they have no dog in this fight, both parties are too far away to be much of a threat, and many rely on Russian resources to help keep their populations in line, like wagner or russia arms.

The ideology looks much different from Africa, it's just 2 groups of white people fighting over something irrelevant.

It's just brinkmanship. They're in a position to negotiate for more than they're normally worth given the political climate/war. They'll position towards that and then try to use it to negotiate a better deal with the west and take the best offer. Unfortunately best offer may be personally enriching not country enriching
