The New York Times has a pretty solid article that explains that there has been growing anti-French sentiment in the region that has been getting worse for several years now, and it isn’t just a coincidence.

A certain leaderless Russian PMC seems to be moving in where the French withdraw. I wonder what effects the chaos in Wagner will have on stability in Africa.
Wow another coup in francophone Africa. I wonder if the regional democratic powers not intervening in Niger encouraged this.
