Niger’s armed forces have been bringing in reinforcements to the capital to prepare for a potential invasion, a military source told CNN, just hours after the military junta running the country refused to abide by an influential regional bloc’s deadline to cede power
It’s so weird that all these places the global north have been intentionally destabilizing are unstable and sympathetic to (even worse) groups that oppose the west. If only there was an alternative to undermining their democracies and exploiting their people and natural resources.
Let the Niger people and government fail. Often the best teacher is pain. Let them chart their own path for good or evil. Africa can never develop if the West keep treating them like children. Stop all aid, all funds, all trade. Let’s see how well China, Russia and Mali can help them.
Or. Don’t leave them to an even worse imperial power.
Stop wielding aid as a weapon, and repay them for what was stolen without using it to control.
