Why France is the big loser in Africa after coups in Gabon & Niger? | World at War

On the face of it, Western Africa has been struck with a coup epidemic. As just five weeks after the military junta captured power in Niger, the military in Gabon deposed President Ali Bongo Ondimba immediately after he again won the elections. But make no mistake about this. What is being witnessed in these African nations is not just a coup epidemic.
What is unfolding is a new scramble for Africa, where the old colonialist power France is being shunted out. And new players, namely Russia and China are entering the realm in a very big way.
Mohammed Saleh explores.

Thanks for this enlightening report. It's the first time I hear about the high number of "coups" of several African nations. The numbers speak for themselves.

The Americans are mulling assassinations on the junta leaders and will be moving their military out of the capital to another base hundreds of miles away. Per the Pentagon. In addition, RT said that Russia has intel that the Americans are mulling assassinations on the junta leaders.

What a false premise. How can an unpopular candidate become president in a democracy 🤔

[@questionmore4675]

Democracy is a myth, if you believe in democracy you'll be for a shocker; democracy is political system to comfort the poor and the marginalized,it's has nothing to do with fair and equitable distribution of resources, it's only captured in theory but not in practical that's why China reformed Communism because it can deliver to the Chinese people and their culture and traditions was captured in the Communist political system.

[@cliveparkinson5630]

Ask the USA and the European countries they could give you a better information they're the one that put him there.

[@tracysharp1361]

It was never about a democracy, this is about a family feud. this is not about a so-called military coup. This is about them replacing one Family member with amother. Maybe someone who was unhappy with him. France hand is definitely in this coup, unlike nigers. The coup and Niger was definitely about ending French exploitation and rule in the shawel region, this coup is a joke .They will only replace one family member with another family member. They need to arrest the entire family and get the looted money that this family and their predecessors and their colleagues have stolen from Gabon.

[@ringgame]

Because democracy is a lie

[@LouinelMaximizeJeanprweb]

Lol he said the people here have arrested me. If the people have arrested him, then what will noise from the west do for him? He was actually speaking in English lol . He was not expecting any noise from the Gabonese people

[@anonymousvip1665]

They don't teach Africans their own full history, this is to ensure that Africa stays backward and poor due to not being able to learn from their past mistakes because they don't know their past mistakes, lol. It's the oldest trick in the colonial book, I've heard of many West Africans not even knowing about the Trans-Atlantic slave trade, that's like an American not knowing about the American civil or revolutionary wars!!!

[@tracysharp1361]

They keep most of the people in the dark about what they really are doing. But with the internet, we are exposed to a lot nowadays.

What is wrong with you people, taking about France losing in Niger, a country that didn't belong to them, how about you talk about millions of people children that have lost their lives because of France explanation, you reporters make me sick

[@Klopp2543]

Of course Niger doesn't belong to France rather France owned the military,finance and natural resources of Niger and the rest of the francophone countries.

[@36G]

They owned them in all but name. It is not the reporters fault for telling the truth

[@user-pb4gl5dh4p]

France on the economic level has practically nothing to lose in these coups. Indeed, the trade of France with Sub-Saharan Africa represents only 2% of the total external trade of France! Where France has to prerdre, it is on the military level, because its withdrawal from these countries paralyzes its action against Islamic groups in the Sahel. In the end, as is often the case in this type of conflict, those who have the most to lose are the people of the Sahel who will lose military protection and associated humanitarian aid.

[@Afrorack]

So why don't the French go home and leave the poor countries alone?
