France about to depose a military coup? Recall this is the junta that deposed Niger's president that is claiming France is going to invade.
Honestly I wouldn't be able to tell which side is the good one here.
If the end goal of either side isnt the redistribution of the countries wealth, increasing health, education and housing programs then they can both get fucked
Based
Yeah, fully admit all I really know is that the deposed president was democratically elected, that the military junta was not, that Russia is suspected of BS, and that the migrant issue is potentially involved.
The first one is the important one to me, that its a Ecowas sanctioned military dictatorship making the claim that Ecowas is going to invade with France's help.
The thing is europe and the west in general is bleeding africa of it's ressources and even though it topples a democraticly elected president the goal they claim is to free themselves of postcolonialism wich could be very good for africa. But yeah always hard to know woch side tells the truth...
Because there's never one?
