“The West's Domination... is Coming to an End” Says Leader of Niger's Revolutionary Organization for New Democracy
So who’s turn is it to dominate them next?
Unless they’ve got viable plans for a stable economy with reliable exports controlled by non-corrupt leadership, someone is going to step in to fill the void, and China and Russia are already vying for the position.
China at least tries to develop the economy. China isn't really desperate for cheap natural resources as much as they are desperate for markets to export their manufactured goods.
Shifting these economies away from being entirely resource-based is the single greatest thing anyone can do to reduce poverty in the region.
That's pretty fucking racist, my dude. Most countries around the world are intolerably corrupt; it doesn't mean they should expect or tolerate colonization by others.
I’m obviously blind to the racism; which race am I applying stereotypes to with my comment about power vacuums?
Or is it my pointed jab at colonialism that’s got you thinking I approve? I’ve been calling out the situation in that region of the world for decades. I really hope they can put together some self-governance that holds up. But in the past, every attempt has fallen to corruption taken advantage of by some external power broker that definitely doesn’t have their best interests at heart.
this is a great interview, thanks for the post!

Read Killing Hope, The Jakarta Method, or Washington Bullets. The US has murdered millions in a worldwide anti-communist and anti-decolonial crusade. Like the other reply said - Domino Theory.
For Castro is a color, Is a redder than red, Those Washington bullets want Castro dead For Castro is the color... ...That will earn you a spray of lead
-Washington Bullets by The Clash, Sandinista!
This is untrue, literally domino theory exists as a justification to kill liberation movements like this
What domination? Anyone who isn't a defeatist in Africa knows that corruption from within Africa is the biggest problem. Oh sure, you can blame the IMF, or you could blame the US, Europe, Russia, or even China, or you can look inwards to which politicians fattened their bank accounts from acting in bad faith with any of these nation actors.
Other than that, if WW3 happens... Africans are not going to be on any winning side, I'll tell you that much...
