Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
AES "but what about muh wagner" deniers in shambles as France à fric literally crumbles into dust.
whats wagner?>
Former Russian mercenary army that were operating on Africa. Got absorbed into the Russian military after
tried a coup-esque stunt to prove a point and then died shortly afterwards in a totally unrelated but completely expected plane crash.
The point the poster above is making is that for years Western occupying militaries, often running illegal dirty wars, in Africa have tried to deflect themselves from criticism by pointing to comparatively small Wagner mercenary operations in the area and saying they have to be there because Russia is.
But increasingly the Sahel countries are kicking out occupying troops anyway and moving to build more sustainable pan-African power.
Met to afrcian is pro Russia ,west isnt gonna hold out for much longer there
