African State Accuses Western Powers of Destabilization Campaign

Niger’s interim president, Abdourahamane Tchiani, has accused Western powers, particularly France, of fueling terrorist violence in the African country in an attempt to impose a “new model of governance”against the will of the Nigerien people.

In an interview with state broadcaster RTN over the weekend, General Tchiani claimed that “several plots” have been launched against Niger from neighboring countries, including Nigeria and Benin, with the backing of Western governments expelled after the July 2023 military takeover.

He said Western-backed operatives have held meetings in Nigeria and the Lake Chad Basin to coordinate efforts, including smuggling weapons to terrorist groups.

“France has used several means to destabilize us… France has also infiltrated all the movements that were initially called independentist movements, then, the jihadist movement, and finally, terrorist movements,” he stated.

He said Paris has established “French cells” in the region, one led by Jean-Marie Bockel, President Emmanuel Macron’s personal envoy for Africa, tasked with countering “Sahelian influence.” — RT

It's ironic how we have come to view these African migrants coming to the West as "parasites," when the reality appears to be that the traditional European powers are actually the parasites desperately trying to embed themselves in the host continent of Africa.

It truly is a testament to what Captain Ibrahim Traore, President of Burkina Faso, and his Sahelian brethren have achieved with their new alliance, as they struggle for national sovereignty against the ghouls who claim to be the ultimate champions of such things in the Third World.

Wait a minute.

Last week, Russian Foreign Ministry official Tatyana Dovgalenko accused Ukraine of funneling Western-supplied weapons to militants operating across Africa and training terrorist networks in the Sahel as part of “systematic efforts to destabilize the continent.”

Well, I guess we now know why Zelensky disclosed that only half the money we sent arrived in Kiev, and where it actually went. — GhostofBasedPatrickHenry
