From the newest spoiler, it looks like Satou is taking some real world inspiration from current events. The Africa conflicts, have two neutral super powers(France and GAA) backing two conflicting forces on the opposite spectrum, sounds sort of similar to the situation with Syria.

After school on May 2nd.
Tatsuya has returned to his daily life, with some of his friends still being angry with him about the “kidnapping” incident. But since there was misunderstandings and a lack of communication, the whole incident just seemed to pass by.
The student council members including Tatsuya, as usual were working in the student council room. The student council has begun their preparations for the upcoming Nine School Competition. They haven’t received the details about the events this year but decided to work on the basics, so that there isn’t any time wasted if a change does occur.
Tatsuya was checking the catalog of the CAD for the events, when he is interrupted by Pixie. She says that there is important news being broadcasted that just came in. Tatsuya tells Pixie to display the news on the wall, all the members of the Student Council gather around.
This time it’s strategic class magic used in Africa, in the Gulf of Guinea near the Nigerian Delta Region. The strategic class magic Thunderclap Tower was used and the allied forces have admitted to it. The news about strategic class magic in South America was still fresh in peoples minds, but with this the severity will definitely increase.
Miyuki asks about France, and Tatsuya says that it was most likely the main objective.
During the last World War, Africa struggled to find resources. And the few underground resources that were found have been the cause of many small scale conflicts. The conflicts have continued for more than 30 years, and in this particular region 2 forces compete with each other over these resources. With one side being backed by France and the other side being backed by the GAU.
In the last few months the forces backed by France had begun to tip the scales in their favor, and they speculate that the strategic class magic is aimed at restraining France’s support
