For those of you who read my articles on the Duran Locals Page, I have often said that, with three notable exceptions, Anglophone African countries are inhabited by populations that are very pro-Western. That explains why the USA never really cared who eventually emerged as President of Nigeria, the most populous country on the continent (~200 million citizens), which also happens to be Anglophone.
Thank you for this insightful piece. Who do you think is behind the current Nigerian coup? Or do you consider it just a power-grab by the military establishment? Personally, I can see that Biden and co would certainly not wish to be seen to lose "Western" influence/control in Nigeria going into 2024.
