Interesting idea but the data seems pretty low quality. The only way you'd include Dearborn but not Chicago is if you were on twitter the whole week.

Capital directly benefits from spending money in this way, and directly suffers if social spending increases.

From the (translated) article:

"This position is dissociated from ECOWAS which, even if it continues to favor the « dialogue », ordered ’ « immediate activation of [ sa ] standby force », and it considerably weakens the West African organization"

I think this is how the word "dissociated" bubbled up to the headline, and could be perceived as a misleading translation, as it implies there was some formal rebuke of ECOWAS by the larger AU when there was not.

Still, this is real news and very positive for those who oppose intervention.

I mean, 10 years ago China would not have been an option, just more IMF loans. Seems to fit the label of dedollarization perfectly.
