    Lots of videos of pro-coup/military protests on the streets.

    Even if the West intervenes, Africa is growing stronger and less dependent. Multi polarity can’t be stopped anymore.

      Africa is growing less dependent on European democracies and more dependent on Russian and Chinese dictatures. Good for them if they feel that it is in their interest. History will tell.

        There can literally be nothing worse than European dominance. There has never been a more brutal, more murderous, more rapacious, more extractive, more devastating, more dehumanizing, more violent, or more destructive movement for dominance than the last 600 years of the European project. Requiring that the West compete with other world powers to offer better terms and less oppression is going to result in positive movement for everyone EXCEPT the West who will have to adjust to less profit.

        Remember, for every dollar that goes to poor countries in aid, 2.5 dollars come out of those countries and back to the West.

        https://www.theguardian.com/global-development-professionals-network/2017/jan/14/aid-in-reverse-how-poor-countries-develop-rich-countries

        Developing countries were erroneously overbilled $700Bn in 2012 alone, which is literally 5x the humanitarian aid they received.

        So with all due respect, fuck the West and fuck the propaganda that makes you think the “dictatures” are worse.

        Well, European “democracies” built their wealth by exploiting those countries through colonisation, coups, and political assassination. On the other hand, Russian and Chinese “dictatures” respectively built their wealth through the extraction of their own resources, and by building their own productive force.

        Theoritically, it should work better for them. Chinese loans are already working better than IMF ones so it’s looking good so far.

          I can always count on a Lemmygrad account to spread disinformation. Russia has brutally exploited it’s neighbors to the point they formed an unprecedented defense alliance to protect themselves from Russia.
