This is apologia for continuing French neocolonialism
When the next coup leader comes along who will they blame?
With democracy you at least get to be accountable in a consistent way.

Should have created an OPEC for cobalt, gold, copper, lithium and other necessary elements to our modern economy and technology a long time ago. When you create cartels to control the supply, you get rich
Oh yeah fukk that western imperialism, let's welcome russian/chinese imperialism that's killed dozens of millions of their OWN people back in 20th century anyway.
(Looks and squints at southern Africa which was liberated from apartheid regimes through help of the Soviet Union despite America supporting those racist regimes like Apartheid South Africa)
OK. Are you even African?
France can afford to just pay them the equivalent of a standard annual salary raise and give Niger the presumption of some business masterstroke.
I'm upset? You're the one raging in every thread about "the West."
If you march your people from 1 hellscape to the next then you're no different than the French.
NATO is not Francafrique so… let’s try again
Yes. Unfortunately, some people vast overestimate the leverage that comes with commodities.

Raging? You’re posting on the Coli. My fellow travellers are actually doing something in the real world.
If you weren’t upset at the dwindling influence of France and crying for massa, you’d be quiet.
Instead, this is you:
“Macron, noooo”

What has that “accountability” produced for Niger so far? A prosperous economy? Electricity?
Ibrahim Traoré is the modern successor of Thomas Sankara
Diplomatic, the spirit of a warrior and the calling of a true leader
Now, he must keep watch on the "c00ns", the "colonialists" and the "naysayers" who try to tarnish his legacy.
Remember how Sankara died? His so-called "best friend" Blaise Compaoré got him assassinated. Killed over economic and political ideals. Compaoré wanted to be a lapdog for the colonialists while Sankara wanted a Marxist approach to benefit his country.
To conglomerate, he must choose trustworthy allies that won't fukk over him to appease western powers. Trust is hard to gain but easy to loose.
The continent is rich in minerals and natural resources. The countries with the most abundant resources are Congo (Democratic Republic of Congo), South Africa, Nigeria, Angola, Zambia, Ghana, and Tanzania
Nigeria and Angola produce significant amounts of oil. Joining forces, this will prohibit certain western countries from taking advantage of their resources. The money is kept in the motherland.
Congo, South Africa, Ghana and Tanzania produce gold, cobalt, diamonds, diamonds and copper. Most of our phones batteries is powered by cobalt. Why Congo is not rich economically? Because the western powers kept bullying themselves over to eat. Not only that, the rebels join forces with the colonialists.
A realistic solution is setting up tariffs. Tariffs produce revenue on goods and services on that specific country. The higher the importation of resources, the greater the expense.
Last but not least, less codependence on the IMF. This is easier than done.
However, this is a W for the continent. A W for black people.
If you think this is how you get better deals I think you’re gonna be shocked that Botswana
did this DEMOCRATICALLY and DID NOT have a coup to do so. They JUST renegotiated days ago

Y’all sound like you don’t even really know what’s going on.
Ok is that why Russia should invade ukraine?
I’m a “don’t piss off the people you’re gonna renegotiate inevitably with to the point you get a worse deal” apologist
If this is really about business then move accordingly
Fellow travelers? You've ducked every request by me to see whose been where in the motherland
Now THIS I agree with. This is good. Institutions and blocks of cooperation.
