Wow another coup in francophone Africa. I wonder if the regional democratic powers not intervening in Niger encouraged this.

Did you read the article? This is the eighth coup in a French colonized African country in the last three years. There is a trend building.

Do you have experience in this area, or are you just drawing conclusions?
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. Specific moves and policies by the French have angered some of their former colonies, and now the chickens are coming home to roost.
their new partners, Russian mercenaries
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.

What a roller coaster of a story if you read up about it. Jazz? Freemasons? Lionel Messi (ok he just does the story equivalent of a cameo but still)?
fuck Bongo, I don’t know how the coup government will be but it’ll be hard to do any worse. Power to the people, if this coup is actually for them ✊
I wonder if editors have fun changing an article to past tense.
Oh look, a political take from someone at lemmygrad. I guess I’d better take this seriously!
Right, you should definitely support this guy for no other reason than that someone from an instance you’re biased against told you not to. Solid politics you’ve got there.
Oh, I’m not biased against tankies personally. The universal reality we all inhabit continually demonstrates their existence is an affront to any moral and ethical system.
okay then support Ali Bongo? I don’t know why you’re doubling down here
