"Booted from office" - sources please? Also, RT doesn't count. :)
Take a look at individual african channels on youtube. Don't listen to only white people what is happening in africa.
Calling Mohamed Bazoum "democratically elected" is quite a streach of definition of the word "democracy".
It us not much different situation for Bola Ahmed Tinubu who is now threatening to attac Niger and the reason is gas pipeline that goes toward EU through Niger.
Inform yourself from different sides, we have internet now it is pre 90s era anymore.
Nah. You're making the point, provide links. The whole "Google xyz" argument is one I'm no longer willing to put up with.
You're the one making a point, back it up with facts or shut the fuck up.
I'm totally okay with being convinced otherwise, but I need something - anything - to do so. The vague words of a stranger are not that.
No. I remain riled up.
Edit: OP was telling me to calm down. Again, I am not currently calm. Touching grass sounds like a good idea, and I will go do that - but I will remain uncalm.
