a whole lot to process here - I wanted to make a thread on this when I first started seeing the coverage but haven't had the time, here are my quick thoughts:

  1. France is cutting off aid to Burkina Faso explicitly because their neocolonial control of the nation is in crisis (Burkina Faso has had three coups in the last three years)
  2. While this is not a socialist or communist revolution by any means, it is what Fanon and Rodney refer to as a nationalist revolution (bourgeois, depending on who the beneficiaries are to be);
  3. This is one of the most pronounced statements of solidarity between African nations that I've seen in decades, and has captured at least some of the world's attention;
  4. This places the West and their African allies in a very bad place - either you follow through with military action and face humiliation through a drawn out guerilla war, or you negotiate away some power;
  5. Nigeria is in no state to go to war;
  6. The attempt to point to Russia as a key component of this is pretty absurd, while the Wagner Group has a presence in a few places (namely Mali), AFRICOM is a vastly more influential powerbroker and outstrips any private mercenary groups both in influence, strength, manpower, direction, and ability.
  7. A lot more thoughts I'll try to put down once I read through this thread

It took me a few days to locate this. I'm not a communist and like China's new mixed economic model. China has no history of setting up oppressive colonies in Africa or in Latin America.

France got the U.S. into the Vietnam morass and also the bombing and destroying of Libya.

QUOTATIONS FROM CHAIRMAN MAO TSE-TUNG ('THE LITTLE RED BOOK')

The-Quotations-from-Chairman-Mao-Tse-Tung-the-Little-Red-Book-Chinese-English-378pages.jpg






" Imperialism will not last long because it always does evil things. It persists in grooming and supporting reactionaries in all countries who are against the people, it has forcibly seized many colonies and semi-colonies and many military bases, and it threatens the peace with atomic war. Thus, forced by imperialism to do so, more than 90 per cent of the people of the world are rising or will rise up in struggle against it. Yet imperialism is still alive, still running amuck in Asia, Africa and Latin America. In the West imperialism is still oppressing the people at home. This situation must change. It is the task of the people of the whole world to put an end to the aggression and oppression perpetrated by imperialism, and chiefly by U.S. imperialism. Interview with a Hsinhua News Agency correspondent (September 29, 1958).

Riding roughshod everywhere, U.S. imperialism has made itself the enemy of the people of the world and has increasingly isolated itself. Those who refuse to be enslaved will never be cowed by the atom bombs and hydrogen bombs in the hands of the U.S. imperialists. The raging tide of the people of the world against the U.S. aggressors is irresistible. Their struggle against U.S. imperialism and its lackeys will assuredly win still greater victories. "Statement Supporting the Panamanian People's Just Patriotic Struggle Against U.S. Imperialism" (January 12, 1964), People of the World, Unite and Defeat the U.S. Aggressors and All Their Lackeys, 2nd ed., pp. 9-10. If the U.S. monopoly capitalist groups persist in pushing their policies of aggression and war, the day is bound to come when they will be hanged by the people of the whole world. The same fate awaits the accomplices of the United States. Speech at the Supreme State Conference (September 8, 1958). Over a long period we have developed this concept for the struggle against the enemy: strategically we should despise all our enemies, but tactically we should take them all seriously. This also means that we must despise the enemy with respect to the whole, but that we must take him seriously with respect to each and every concrete question. If we do not despise the enemy with respect to the whole, we shall be committing the error of opportunism."

" In the final analysis, national struggle is a matter of class struggle. Among the whites in the United States it is only the reactionary ruling circles who oppress the black people. They can in no way represent the workers, farmers, revolutionary intellectuals and other enlightened persons who comprise the overwhelming majority of the white people. "Statement Supporting the American Negroes in Their Just Struggle Against Racial Discrimination by U.S. Imperialism" (August 8, 1963), People of the World, Unite and Defeat the U.S. Aggressors and All Their Lackeys, 2nd ed., pp. 3-4.* "

" To achieve a lasting world peace, we must further develop our friendship and co-operation with the fraternal countries in the socialist camp and strengthen our solidarity with all peace-loving countries. We must endeavor to establish normal diplomatic relations, on the basis of mutual respect for territorial integrity and sovereignty and of equality and mutual benefit, with all countries willing to live together with us in peace. We must give active support to the national independence and liberation movement in countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America as well as to the peace movement and to just struggles in all the countries of the world."

The problem is that ECOWAS doesn't support ECOWAS intervention in Niger.

I really don't see a protracted guerilla war happening Yes if they back down they look weak but if they get to Niamey the war is over. I mean the army didn't fight for the elected president.
