I'm glad to see any country shrug off #colonizers, though I tend to be wary of #military #coups. But seriously, people in power in #Russia really need to look at their own selves about #colonization.

Gabon coup: EU chief says evacuations not planned yet

>"Naturally, military coups are not the solution, but we must not forget that in Gabon there had been elections full of irregularities," he said, arguing a rigged vote could amount to a civilian "institutional coup."

The West's Hypocrisy on Niger Coup

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qe4cpfZvBxM&ab_channel=red.

As the West lines up to condemn the bloodless coup in Niger, we look back at some of the bloody coups the West has itself orchestrated in Africa.

The region of #sahel in last decades has capitalised aid and military support to fight against jihadism while poor governance, corruption and unprotected population in those countries escalate. Researchers in the area point out that foreign intervention in Sahel plays an important part in the conflicts and #coups and it is not Russia or wagner the main actors as Western narratives want to channel. Listen last update about #niger from african researchers👇🏽

Same with other things:

Most people oppose #Coups and #Revolutions not because they are disgusted by #violence, but because it reduces their personal & individual #QualityOfLife!

#OurCoup: The Intercept has confirmed. U.S.-trained military officers have taken part in 11 #coups in #WestAfrica since 2008.
“We have had a very long relationship with the United States,” Barmou said in 2021. “Being able to work together in this capacity is very good for #Niger.”

Although the USA has the best universities, journalists and political scientists, they apparently fail to see when their own system almost breaks down. The book from Barbara Geddes, Erica Frantz, and Joseph George Wright named "How Dictatorships Work: Power, Personalization, and Collapse" describes clearly that #coups are the most frequent way of creating #dictatorships. And yet the orange man who incited the Capitol riot at Jan 6 2021 had to face no consequences so far. How is that possible?

He green-lighted #coups and enabled #genocides. He told #dictators to get their #killing and #torturing done quickly, sold out the Kurds, and ran the botched operation to kidnap Chilean Gen. René Schneider (in the hope of derailing President Salvador #Allende’s inauguration), which resulted in Schneider’s murder. His post-#Vietnam turn to the #MiddleEast left that region in #chaos, setting the stage for #crises that continue to afflict #humanity.

Ever since i heard her story on #TheMoth (11 min), I have wanted to read more about her. She's the daughter of a revolutionary in Chile.

The US was on the wrong side of history here. Always supporting #coups that help some horrible murderous #dictator, so long as we can stop a democratically elected #socialist trying to get education &healthcare for all. Info on the "other 9/11":

6/21 Colfax Massacre, 1863 was a reaction to the 1872 gubernatorial #election.

Like the #CivilWar and other #uprisings or #coups or #insurrections we'll see, if they're not proacting before an election, they're reacting to an election that did not go the way they wanted.

This has put Russian influence, equipment, and flags, somewhere close by dozens of anti-democratic acts by an African autocrat in recent years, from blocking condemnation of leaders who evaded term limits to supporting #coups to endorsing flawed electoral results to participation in corruption and state capture.
