  • This might end up in either the most depressing (Gaddafi and Sankara) or the most hyped up way possible (Africa up up)

    • Inshallah the revolutionaries invite Wagner Group ASAP to negate such possibilities. There's 100 good reasons why the president of CAR only trusts Wagner as his personal security...

      • Don't think it's such a great idea. Here's why:

        • Wagner are a PMC. While affiliated with the Russian government (aka being funded by), the recent mutiny showed they're more than willing to push the employer. Being the one vector of government "interests" in the region (as opposed to official intelligence services) will embolden them further
        • Russia is capitalist and thus will inevitably require imperialist action to support the bourgeoisie. Having experienced armed forces in the region allows such action
        • AFAIK Rosatom (state corporation in charge of Russian nuclear power development) was heavily invested in Niger and was assisting the French - because while the latter can extract uranium, turning it into nuclear fuel is a separate procedure. And currently only Rosatom and Westinghouse possess the know-how (and I am not 100% sure about Westinghouse)
