It's beyond me how these militant cosplayers refuse to understand this. These are military coups, besides Traoré, who is honestly trying, but lacks the ressources to do anything, the only interests these crooks have are their own power and pockets. And when you point this out, these idiots accuse you of defending the West and postcolonialism, even though what Russia is doing now is the same exact thing Western powers did in the 60's and 70's. Engineering coups and propping up ruthless cleptocrats. Putin is a fukking white supremacist and isn't interested in african liberation, he wants to create an energy and refugee crisis in Europe. He's cynically playing geopolitics and completely disregards the human suffering this is going to create in Africa, because he looks at black people as subhuman.
