You're just there sitting in your offices talking nonsense, misleading people

[@Shaqgoldtooth]

Since the arrival of western troops terrorism has only risen, they failed their mission😂 and lets not forget that this insurgency started when they destabilized libya into oblivion

[@jonathantoymaker]

Colonizer nonsense...

[@unbotheredpersona9066]

Riddle me this, man is in Norway and talking about the Sahel. The newsroom is in France, talking about the Sahel... Yet NOBODY from the Sahel in that room to talk about the Sahel. Pure BS! chatter about France, Ukraine or something else. Let the people of the Sahel sort out their issue.

Love the wording “lack of cooperation” Translation: we can’t screw Africa over anymore

African Union should have their anti terrorism unit.

Pretty much. Although BRICS is building I still think western buisness still flows.
