I want to recognize this light on the mediatic darkness (and apologize, before of nothing else, for my English, is not my native language and since i finished the highschool never again a writen english word has been born form my fingers). Especially, your good understanding and transmission of complex issues, making emphasis on the multiple variables in play, especially the regional and local ones that are forgotten for occidental journalist that think in himselfs as the top of the smartness, located in the propaganda war, taking part and judging a complex situation just for the name.
See all the conflicts under the focus of United States vs Russia vs Xina and nothing else is a mistake, it's a stereotypation that drive us to confussion and ignorancy (wise words about this were said through Walter Lippmann). Congratulations for this, difficult to find in our days.
In a sense, is something nice to see how internal differences in Nigeria make pressure to the executive decissions. I won't be naif (I know what moves political actions), but this is something weird to see and unthinkable we can say, in my country, Spain. Hopefully, democraces and it's inherent electoralism, were tied to the crucial and important topics. For the things that I am reading about Africa (making one of those big stereotypes), I see a wave of pragmatism and common points of agreement in important issues, like the stability, the grow through infraestructures, soberany of their own resources and of the commerce of it, etc...
Is unsane to think in that a new conflict that, probably, will destabilize the region, is the best chance for the region. It's unsane for pragmatic reasons that the past has shown us, but also for moral ones. Hopefully, this diplomatic way will be fertile.
You have been a really good discover. I ask you, and to someone else that read this topic, if know any substack or blog like yours from other places in the world.
P.S Despite this wrangling and haggling they will invade Niger and Gabon. Be prepared as the US needs to Market it's archaic weapons as seen used in Ukraine. Hopefully, Mali and others are training to use Russian weapons as seen,
In video titled, "Russia Unveils New Unmanned Ground Vehicles UGV Can Carry Weapons and Explosives".
Gabon has nothing to do with ECOWAS as it is in Central Africa not West Africa. The United States has been selling weapons to African countries since the 1960s. Yes, many of those weapons are usually antiquated by the time the Americans sell them to Africans.
Many African countries also buy relatively newer weapons from Russia, China and Turkey. (Nigeria, Egypt and South Africa manufacture some of their own weapons domestically).
Mali only controls a fraction of its own territory and Wagner mercenaries are the only ones keeping the country from being overrun by jihadists
We need more reporting at this most crucial time in History as Africa seems to moving to assert it's Independence and the POWER of it's Mineral Wealth. We cannot wait as History unfolds with the demise of Western Hegemony that lasted for about 2000 years in Africa now about to end. The Gun will speak western Language they only one they know says Mao.
Thank you CHIMA for this most comprehensive reporting and very interesting analysis.
I'm moving you to the top of my reading board, outstanding.
I appreciate the compliment. Thanks
