It doesn’t seem like something is going to change. Seems like a clash is about to happen. Will this be what causes the big one ?? Idk we will see. Soon. RockLobsteriii |

| Doctor Congo (OP) User ID: 86164266 United States08/06/2023 09:31 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | More than a dozen countries across the Sahel have had military coups in the last year, stretching from the Atlantic to the Indian Ocean. I bet China builds a railway across it. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 86163767 Excellent map at link: (does stretch all the across Africa) [link to www.idea.int (secure)] There have been nine attempted or successful coups d’état in Africa since 2020. A stereotypical coup d'état involves the most senior members of the military (i.e., generals) overthrowing the government in a short, but potentially violent, incident that causes mass panic in the population. The most recent coups in Africa differ in some key aspects from the coups that were seen on the continent in the past, especially during the immediate post-independence period. What are these differences, and what do they mean for democracy? |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 71080834 United States08/06/2023 09:34 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This will be bigger than the Ukraine proxy war. Quoting: Doctor Congo [link to www.msn.com (secure)] Former NATO Supreme Allied Commander Europe James Stavridis warned on Sunday that the conflict in Niger amid a looming deadline for coup leaders to cede power could potentially lead to a "full-blown war in Africa." The Sunday deadline established by a coalition of West African nations for Niger to return to democratic rule is set to expire. The demand has been shunned by fellow military-led countries Burkina Faso and Mali, who have jointly warned that any intervention would amount to a declaration of war. While conflict is far from guaranteed, the conditions for a major escalation are quickly brewing on a continent that has played host to some of the deadliest wars of the past century. Some believe that such a confrontation would have vast ramifications, not only for the people of the Sahel region, but far beyond, with the potential to draw in the likes of the United States, France and Russia among other invested powers. The question is can The US/france fight another proxy war here, ukraine and china all at the same time? |

Africa would be a terrible theater for war. No way the colonizers could win if the locals go full out war. It's a harsh place. |

The three countries agreed in June to revive decades-old talks over the project, a potential opportunity for Europe to diversify its gas sources." - Rueters. |
