African dysfunctionality, or just more manipulation from the unipolar hegemenists?

It’s now nine days since 26 July 2023, when soldiers from Niger’s presidential guard deposed President
Mohamed Bazoum and closed the country’s borders. Yesterday (Thursday) US Secretary of State
Antony Blinken (above) told Niger’s ousted President Mohamed Bazoum in a phone call that the US remains
committed to the restoration of the African country’s democratically elected government.

Blinken is a card-carrying Bidenite, mask compliant, Day 1 hawk in favour of “the war against
Russia” in Ukraine and holding all the views you’d expect from a senior, long-standing member of
Sleepie Joe’s inner circle. Exemplifying this tendency, Mike Morell, the former acting director of the CIA
told a congressional committee that Blinken played a key role in the letter asserting that the Hunter Biden
lap-top scandal was pure “Russian disinformation”.
This turned out to be completely untrue, but does affirm that Blinken is a diplomat with a special talent for
Psy-Op BS. His specialism has always been diplomacy and foreign relations. In turn, Bazoum’s strong
suit is also foreign affairs in which, before being elected to the Niger Presidency in 2021, he had held
several senior posts.

Although early MSM media reports are largely lock-stepped in seeing Mohamed Bazoum (left) as the hero of the hour, it should be remembered that Niger has been Coup Central for many years now, and the level of real popularity Bazoum enjoys is far from straightforward.

Although some EU, US and UK press titles were quick to point out “Russian flags among the coupistes”, sources here in Gambia dismiss that as no more than “a very strong feeling in Niger that Bazoum is a globalist NATO puppet, incompetent and corrupt”. This helps explain specific demonstrations outside the French embassy.
Rahmane Idrissa – a researcher in political science at the African Studies Centre, Leiden University, the
Netherlands – told Le Monde last night, “What needs to be understood is that repeated corruption
scandals and mismanagement exasperate the people of Niger. In another area, successive governments
have been unable to respond to jihadist threats. Among the population, the PNDS [Bazoum’s Party] has
become extremely unpopular.”
The head of the coup General Tchiani told coup supporters that his espionage division expected Tchiani’s
dismissal. Sources here in Gambia claim that Tchiani was going to go public about Bazoum’s “cover up
of the country’s political, socioeconomic and security problems”, and Bazoum had well-laid plans to
silence him.

But US Secretary Antony Blinken today called Niger ”a model of resilience”. Vague memories down the halls of Diem in south Vietnam.

The fear now is that regional ‘anti-imperialist’ feeling will spread and destroy any economic progress
being made; the fact that Senegal’s ruling Party has imprisoned the popular opposition leader Osmane
Sonko hasn’t helped, and since then the Senegalese government has reignited the violent chaos there by banning Sonko’s Party and restricting internet use.

Between Niger and Senegal sits Mali (also at one time a French-influenced dependency) now for some years battling against Jihadist extremism. For nine years back in the day, I was the VP of Le Comité pour le Rélève de Mali, under which we raised money to buy second-hand farm machinery in France, and then sent equipment, spares and expert mechanics to ensure that both usage and maintenance were fully understood. Now that has stopped, and the situation there remains tense.
The UN notes: ‘As insecurity continues to challenge the restoration of State authority, the implementation of the strategy for the stabilization of the central regions remains key to addressing the prevailing situation.’

To the north of Mali is the regional giant Algeria, historically an avowed francophone country, which yesterday made this somewhat equivocal announcement:

‘Algeria reiterates its condemnation of the coup which ousted Mohamed Bazoum but warns against the costly folly of foreign military intervention by the West African regional bloc to reinstate him. While restating its commitment to a return to constitutional order in Niger we urge caution and restraint in the face of plans for a foreign military intervention. Such would be merely factors in complicating and aggravating the current crisis’.

It would be hard to discern praise more faint than that without use of the Hubble telescope, but given the largely African French-derived nature of so much of this local opinion, it’s hard not to discern yet another USEUNATO attempt to create chaos.
Indeed, by emphatically endorsing Bazoum, unipolar hegemenist Antony Blinken is pretty much inviting that kind of kitten-with-ball-of-wool to redo what has been undone. I’m sure he knows what he’s doing….especially in relation to the consequences.

The US, the EU and the UK are a mess brought about by deliberately suicidal spending on Covid19, and dangerously high immigration by illegals whom only the brainless left and Gary Lineker think suitable. The Ukraine is a mess because the evil dog-end of the American State want to demonise Putin, hide their biological warfare labs and distract attention away from What Comes Next. Part of what they want, I now suspect, is to turn Africa into a failed continent.

Once all that runs out of road, doubtless a 33rd Zombie version of killer virus will come along – which, side by side with global boiling in the freezing rain, will be used as the rationale for controlling all travel. I’m sure they have other wizard wheezes up their Brooks Brothers sleeves; if I find out what they are, you’ll be the first to know although to be honest, I’m getting to the stage where I don’t want to.

Of late, this dystopian degeneracy has made me look in new anthropological directions. It’s a hugely complex subject that, like much of Darwinism, has been treated simplistically far too often. It goes back roughly 1.8 million years, and it begs a terrifying question:

Do we really know what species we are?

It’s not going to appear tomorrow or the day after. But it may, perhaps, offer a chilling alternative to the Ascent of Man Bronowskiism we’ve been fed to date.

Whether he wants to be or not, John Ward is our man on the spot in Gambia. He has spent much of his life trying to evade trouble, but seems to be a magnet for unpleasantness ranging from house fires, train crashes, head-on car collisions, mid-air near misses, Presidential banking morons and WHO hub offices. Travel with him is not advisable.
