49 out of 54 African countries join the Russia-Africa summit. The presidential guard of Niger coup pro French president with support of the people.

Hello and welcome to a sov original. Today, we talk about the Russia-Africa summit and what it means in the context of geopolitics.

Let's start with an unexpected star, Uncle Prigozhin is back from Belarus,he appears in good health and comes to reassure Africa that the wagner pmc is here to stay

(Here, Uncle Yevgeny Prigozhin and the director of the publication "Afrique media" on the sidelines of the Russia-Africa Economic Forum, a picture taken from the telegram channel orchestra W)

This star, in rather unformal clothing, has also said his opinion on the Niger coup,wich is as follow:

“The removal of the pro-French president is "in fact a conquest of independence" by the people of Niger. The former colonialists deliberately destabilize the situation in African countries, supporting terrorists and illegal gangs in order to prevent the further development of the former colonies.

This is the effectiveness of PMC Wagner: a thousand PMC Wagner fighters are able to restore order and destroy terrorists, preventing them from harming the civilian population of states, ”

With Uncle Prigozhin out of the way,we can start talking about the main event

President Putin has confirmed that the end of the grain deal will not block delivers for Africa and that Russia will offer free grain to countries in need

President Putin has said that Russia is still very much willing to sit on the negotiations table and that it's Ukraine that is refusing compromise. The president added that the African peace proposal is similar in many ways to the one of China

President Putin has forgiven a large debt owed by Somalia,helping the economy of the struggling country.

The African delegates have shown support for Russia and have thanked once again President Putin for the offer of free grain and the deepening of economic partnership between Russia and Africa.

Fun fact: the president of Zimbabwe,during the meeting,was wearing an indument with the face of President Putin

The Eritrean president has maybe been the harsher on Russia,but in the opposite direction that what would be expected,he scolded Russia for not preparing more for the conflict in Ukraine and then re iterated full support for the russian cause

In Niger, the pro France president has been couped by its personal guard with the support of the people. Many Russian flags and pro Russian slogans were present during the pro coup manifestations,showing once more wich side the African people are on.

Once again, the weakness of the Western sanctions and the failure of the policy of isolation are absolutely clear. The west has lost allies,credibility, and an enormous amount of money in its failing anti Russian crusade. The Ukrainian suicide charge is giving no fruits, and Russia has even started its own counter offensive, re taking the no man land that Ukraine was previously able to capture at an enormous cost.

Canada is speaking out against a coup d’etat in Niger, but hasn’t joined other nations in threatening to cut aid to the West African country.

Last Wednesday, a faction of Niger’s military claimed to have overthrown the country’s democratically elected president Mohamed Bazoum after detaining him in his palace.

In a tweet Friday evening, Global Affairs Canada wrote that Ottawa “strongly condemns the attempted coup” in Niger and calls for Bazoum’s release.

“We reaffirm our support for Niger’s democracy and reiterate our call for President Bazoum’s release,” the department wrote, while expressing support for the Economic Community of West African States, a group of 15 countries known as ECOWAS.

That bloc has threatened to sanction leaders of the military junta and send in troops if Bazoum isn’t restored to power within a week

🇳🇪🇪🇺 Ousted President of Niger, Mohamed Bazoum has filed a lawsuit, appealing to the Court of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) to free him from "arbitrary arrest", accusing the coup government of Niger of violating his "freedom of movement."

President Mohamed Bazoum was overthrown in a military coup on July 26th and has been detained with his wife and child since.

The lawsuit was filed with the ECOWAS bloc's Court based in Abuja, the Nigerian Capital, on Sept 18th according to his Senegalese lawyer, Seydou Diagne.

"We request... in view of the violation of political Rights, that the State of Niger be ordered to immediately restore Constitutional order by handing over power to President Bazoum, who must continue to exercise it until the end of his mandate."

Since the coup succeeded in July, ECOWAS has imposed Sanctions against Niger and has warned the coup leaders that it could intervene militarily if President Bazoum is not restored to power and if all diplomatic manipulations fail.

The Niger coup took place in the context of a wave of anti-colonial sentiment that has led to anti-government protests and a series of military coups that saw the region's former Colonial masters (mainly the French) losing their power over West African States it has exploited for centuries.

Just since 2020, there have been 6 coups in former French Colonies. This includes: Niger, Burkina Faso, Chad, Guinea, Mali and Sudan.

Niger coup

[mirrors-are-green]

Just because someone says they are anti-imperialism and colonisation and oppression doesn't mean they actually are

on the side of the people. The coups in French Africa have all been proclaimed anti-France the coloniser, but don't be fooled- they were all a military workings from the inside, security forces wanting a bigger cut from all the stealing and massive corruption. They just want to frame it in a way that their citizens will accept. If any of you think that it is in any way, shape, or form a government finally caring for its own population while resisting the evil European overlords you really need to read more about African politics and touch grass because that level of naivety can be dangerous.

The Martyrs Bridge (Pont des martyrs) of Bamako, Mali connects the older sections of the city to its suburbs on the south shore of the Niger River. One of three road bridges across the Niger at Bamako, it is also known as the "Old Bridge". Opened in 1957 when Mali was under French colonial rule, it was renamed the Martyrs Bridge in 1991 following the deaths of protesters against the rule of Moussa Traoré. Martyrs Bridge connects two of the main avenues of the city. Avenue Fleuve (also known as Avenue Modibo Keita), a broad boulevard enclosing the Square Lamumba which runs north towards the Presidential palace. From the south of the bridge runs Avenue de l'Unite Africain, the major route from the city centre south to Bamako-Senou Airport.

Niger suspends co-operation with OIF

The African nation announced a complete suspension of co-operation with the International Organisation of the Francophonie (OIF) amid a rupture in relations with France.

A spokesman for Niger’s military government stated on Sunday that the 88-member body “has always been used by France as an instrument to defend French interests.”

The military took power in Niger after July’s coup, which was strongly condemned by France and other Western allies. French troops who had helped fight the decade-long armed conflict were soon forced to leave the West African country.

Long ago, the French body announced a mission to promote the language, support peace and democracy, as well as foster education and development in French-speaking countries, many of which were former French colonies.

The government of Niger calls on the African people to decolonise their minds and promote their own national languages in accordance with the ideas of the founding fathers of Pan-Africanism.
