Анализируются ключевые угрозы, исходящие из даркнета, включая нелегальную торговлю, киберпреступность и распространение дезинформации. Выделяются специфические вызовы, с которыми сталкиваются африканские страны в области кибербезопасности, такие как недостаток ресурсов и низкий уровень осведомленности. Также обсуждаются возможные стратегии повышения устойчивости и эффективности борьбы с киберугрозами в регионе, включая международное сотрудничество и развитие российско-африканских инициатив в области информационной безопасности.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The article examines the evolution of the darknet ecosystem and its impact on international information security in Africa. It analyzes key threats emanating from the darknet, including illegal trade, cybercrime, and the spread of disinformation. Specific challenges faced by African countries in the realm of cybersecurity are highlighted, such as lack of resources and low levels of awareness. Possible strategies for enhancing resilience and effectiveness in combating cyber threats in the region are also discussed, including international cooperation and the development of Russian-African initiatives in information security area.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Даркнет</kwd><kwd>кибербезопасность</kwd><kwd>киберпреступность</kwd><kwd>Африка</kwd><kwd>нелегальная торговля</kwd><kwd>дезинформация</kwd><kwd>эволюция</kwd><kwd>международное сотрудничество</kwd><kwd>информационная безопасность</kwd><kwd>российско-африканское партнерство</kwd><kwd>устойчивость</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>darknet</kwd><kwd>cybersecurity</kwd><kwd>cybercrime</kwd><kwd>Africa</kwd><kwd>illegal trade</kwd><kwd>disinformation</kwd><kwd>evolution</kwd><kwd>international cooperation</kwd><kwd>international information security</kwd><kwd>Russian-African partnership</kwd><kwd>resilience</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Holt T.
