BREAKING: Niger 🇳🇪 cuts ALL military ties with the United States, 6 months after breaking ties with France in their proces of decolonization!

[Nkrumah Was Right]

Dump west and ride with commies. Good choice guys

 

[Slow Moving]

so you want unstable countries to broker weapons deals?


some of you nikkas are fukkin lame i s2g

The alternative is being unable to stand on your own and being taken advantage off.

 

[Kurt off them percs]

Good riddance.

Russians and the Chinese are gonna come in anyway.

 

[Silver Surfer]

They looking for another colonizer

 

[Wiseborn]

Because France isn't going to stage a CIA coup to overthrow their government.

You think that they couldn't find a local c00n now?

 

[Phitz]

that's all you can say clown? someone says something you don't agree with, you call them a cac? either prove me wrong or stfu.

trade one cac for a worse cac doofy ass nikka

They have no history of colonization in AFrica, but US does. I knwo you have blind patriotism to yrou country but that does not mean the rest of the world should trust your govt who has a LOOOOONG history of scamming these countries. YOu STFU, it's not like you planning on moving to any of these places.
Worry about your decaying city with growing homeless population and aging infrasructure.

 

[Robo Squirrel]

Great.

 

[mykey]

I don't think America cares either way, they can recreate the listening posts in another African country.

The major loser here is France since they got cut off permanently from their African meal ticket. Senegal is holding elections in two weeks time and the leading candidate (opposition figure) has said the first thing he'll do is ditch the colonial era CFA Franc.

It's an existential issue for France. Russia punked them hard.

fukk history, China is colonizing Africa right now. If you knew shyt about shyt you'd know that

And Russia has a vast history of meddling in shyt too. You're an idiot if you think them building shyt or sending ppl/money/arms to African countries is for the benefit of African ppl

[IIVI]

Why not assume they just want to build on their own straight up and are about to get colonized again?

Many countries do their own thing.

China isn't colonizing Africa in any meaningful sense.

I think the word you're looking for is that China is engaging in a kind of "subsumption" of a couple of local industries.

However, that isn't the same thing as colonization - China is effectively dumping excess capital and labor into Africa to ensure there's a continued market expansion, that it builds the infrastructure of its trading partners, and that it covers political relationship building - while also ensuring it has some semblance of access to natural resources provided that the United States, Russia, or India attempt to block it.

While I don't necessarily support it, what it has been shown to do is build better infrastructure than either the United States or any given European country - in the same period of time, and without the same economic constraints.

Anyone who actually visits Black countries will tell you this too

 

[Geek Nasty]

why didn't they do this when they broke ties with France?

they were probably negotiating

 

[Geek Nasty]

Just means Russia gonna sit in for us. Ain't no freedom move brehs...

Yeah this probably isn’t good in the long run. If they don’t have a rich benefactor they could be exposed to China or Russian militias. Hope they’ve got a tight intel game.
