- France Out, Russia In: Why Power-Hungry African Generals Staged Coups | From the Frontline
With Anti-Colonial sentiments on the rise, Armies in Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, Gabon and Sudan have staged coups to remove the civilian government. Thousands of Army supporters in the Sahel region are protesting against France and President Emmanuel Macron. They have openly shown their love and support for Russia, President Vladimir Putin and Wagner Mercenary Group. Russia is growing closer to Africa as Western nations are shown the door. Will Africa be the igniting point that will lead to a multi-polar world in geopolitics?

Will Putin’s Bonhomie with Africa and the rise of Anti-West sentiment change the world order? Comment and tell us below!
Respect our leaders otherwise we will stoop low to your level, but I can't blame you, y'all not that tall😅
Putin can have the sahel. The poorest countries on the continent probably won't get a dime worth of development money and no countries will ever want to risk investing in basket cases like mali
Can you talk about the Ghana's monetary induced politics in Ghana's NPP election
It's a sentiment of Anti-Politic of the West, Niger, Burkina, Mali have debated this already. They are never aggressive against any French person in their countries and tell French people that they are free to stay. Usually people around the world love the other people, but the Politicians, the elites and their politics are the real problems and they don't like them. The West politicians are leading West countries towards failure.
Yes, Better for AFRICA to Gravitate and Align themselves to Russia and China! These Super Powerful Countries from the East are More Humanist than Europe and USA for EU and USA only love Looting and Plundering!! Living AFRICA very Anemic, Blood sucker West are Vultures!! Yes Russia will Change AFRICA's Oppress Condition under Europe and USA!!!
It's very disappointing when you cannot even hide your bias against these Afrikan revolutionary leaders because they have dared to stand up against the imperialist West which once brutally occupied your own country by the way.
As a South Afrikan I fully stand by my brothers in the Sahel and Afrika will eventually be one.
Indians excelled at administration of the Western system onto themselves and AFRICA, they probably think they can take over the 'empire'
Bro what ? How you reached to that conclusion?India will never support the colonial mindset. This channel as far as I know is not biased. Don't worry brother.
@@kaptainkc7415 was mahatma Gandhi racist?
@@kaptainkc7415 India hate black people. We know how the view and treat our people the same way white do.
@@kwalelalipimile3894 yes he was racist, he spoke bad about black people in South Africa.
France has tried and now failed to control the Sahel and it is high time these countries have full authority to govern themselves without French interference.
Sorry to burst your bubble but russia and china won't allow these south african leaders to take decisions on their own as most of them are under debt from and russia. its like one took the help from ring master remove another another ring master. China and russia are interested in global dominance as well just like america and europe.
Can't even produce their own food

Thank You, Africa Take Your Money, Gold and Power Back!
Power hungry generals? No. Mind your business please, let the AFRICANS manage theirs.
Sahel Peoples🌍 I'm so deeply Proud of this huge change in Africa💚 I'm certain like myself hundreds of millions of people all over the World had no idea such exploitation of Africans & the countries resources where still being extracted for purely financial gain, with no care or help with infrastructure etc negatively impacting on the population of these countries for Decades is an understatement. The failed help stamping out extremism! & again I'm certain🤔 most of the world knows little or nothing of these on going atrocities 😑 My Sincere Apologies💯 from a brother&cousin in the UK🙂
One World One Life One Chance 🌍ne
Peace Be For All 💜💙🖤💛💚🧡
Usually Africans opinion don't count for nothing. This is so because they regarded as nonhuman. This is a clear by many prowestern commentators. Africans are not capable of making decisions that are best for their people.
As a FBA Black American. I fully support and Stand with my brothers in the Sahel and Afrika.
Go live there
@@joelhungerford8388 on god
Amazing explainer on the growing anger against West, particularly France. It's good to see that people of Africa know what they want and how they want it. Colonial Powers are officially extinct!!
Russia is a colonial power as is China, they are not doing anything for Africa
They aren't power hungry leaders... Please respect our leaders 😢😢😢😢😢
Power hungry doesn't necessarily mean bad
What are they then?
@@alimamybangura1399 saviours
@@alimamybangura1399 dat is upto the people of the region to decide..
Respect is earned, to be bestowed by the people they serve and not Lord over.
I mean, their own country's people, not Moscovy's Putin (don't make the same mistake as Vietnam did). Good luck; Best Wishes.
Im so proud of these African nations 💪🏾
Well done from a Brit..
Glad we leaving , now no migrants!
Vive l'AES 🇲🇱🇧🇫🇳🇪❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Africa needs to unite and help one another look around and see what they are doing to to other countries pay attention 😢
It's about time..I guess.. enough is enough.. Africa is done with being kept poor.. although they're sitting rich in resources..
So you say russia or china is there to help you lol, they just steal from you like they do all over the world ..
Africa is poor because it is corrupt. And these little men in their cute berets are just the same as every other coward that stole leadership through fear and violence. Or do you not know the history of the continent.
west has made all rich people poor and became great us uk bla bla bla .. all minerals, oil, gas, gems, and spices gathering by force or divide and rule... they got nothing on them and still behave like all mighty
Unite Africa 🌍 🙏
Russia didn't enslave them. France did
Niger chiffren
Respect our leaders..you used to be mature in reporting but I can see America and Europe has managed to corrupt your integrity
The same people that are supporting Netanyahu against 🇵🇸🇮🇱 are the same people who have used 🇺🇦 against 🇷🇺 and the same who's colonization is ending Congratulations Africa for Independently choosing New Partners 🩵😇👋
They attempted to take on more than they could handle.
African will never prosper if they keep any partnership with imperialism.Imperialist are ruthless in nature.
Africa's new partner is curtently trying to take over Uktaine. Shame on Africa
Africa awakening 💚✌️💜
My country Burkina Faso 🇧🇫 is not power hungry.
They are afraid to say France is the one that is hungry
Every country should mind their own business,then no one can blame you for their poverty.
From US. VERY GOOD MOVE !!! Take control of the future for themselves. Africa doesn't need power hungry West guiding them by one hand & the other in their pocket.
you should live in africa
God of Mercy
Time for positive change in Africa .....❤❤❤
Long-lived junta’s ❤
They removed colonial thieves (France) and formed a partnership with Russia to supply arms for defence against the colonial thieves.
And the citizens are languishing in abject poverty, no signs of improvement. From one slave master to another, even more dangerous one. You call that partnership? Time will soon tell, and we shall know the real devil 😀😆😆😆😆
Africans should look at Ukraine if they want to see how Russia behaves.
Wow...thinking skills...use them and reconsider what you just said. Russia? Really? Three invasions of peaceful neighbors and two more in the works? That Russia? They'd sooner see you burn than actually help you. Have you ever considered why there are NO BLACK PEOPLE IN RUSSIA. HAVE YOU? They won't let them in. Because like China...they are unabashedly RACIST.
and russians not thieves? go learn eastern europe history
@@Jaris84R
Do you know how Ukraine treated Africans at the break of war?
Do you know how Ukraine treated African leaders when they visited Ukraine during the war?
Free Africa
Africa africa unite ❤️✊🏿❤️❤️
Finally African a wake
Those african countries became independent from france colonization.
India Supports Africa!!
Come together leader of Africa do the best for all African God bless Africa
One love to africa ❤️
I dont blame them. Africa cant find Peace in the hands of EU and America.
Africa should govern themselves since they are a nation. Many capable and wise leaders are there in Africa
The site is just as GOOD as the taste🎉❤!
Amazing!!!! Get them out and keep them out!
It is revolutionary
We as African we have to have our big brother on bored with us , that's Russia , thank u Mr putin
big brother, are you out of your mind. stop thinking like a slave. what you have a strategic partner where you can trade and exchange information based on mutual interest. Russia is in Africa for its own interest. Russia isn't here to help you as big brother. Just stop this nonsense slave mentality.
Putin is the man who is trying to loot Ukraine and you praise him. Shame on you.
How has Russian assitance gone in Africa since 1950, any countries done well?
I really love your voice and your style of reporting or presentation
Bravo Afrika 💪💪💪
France is out and these people are very happy. What does that tell you?
That they're about to regret that relationship in a few years......
@@bushwacka5187
Do think France was better?
@@Kite-te9km I don't know, we'll see in a few years but if we are to believe this researcher, the people may sadly suffer:
The trigger for the coup in Niger appears to have been President Bazoum's plans to reform the military high command and remove Gen Tchiani from his position.
This is a strong indication that the coup was not really intended to strengthen Nigerien sovereignty, or to aid the country's poorest citizens, but rather to protect the privileges of the military elite.
The mixed motives of recent coups are well demonstrated by the speed with which many of the new military governments have sought to replace one problematic relationship with an external ally with another.
At the recent Russia-Africa summit in St. Petersburg, leaders from Burkina Faso and Mali declared their support for President Vladimir Putin and the invasion of Ukraine.
As in the past, the beneficiaries of these global alliances are likely to be the political elite rather than ordinary citizens. There are already reports that in May, troops from the Wagner group, in alliance with Putin's government at the time, were responsible for the torture and massacre of hundreds of civilians in Mali as part of anti-insurgency operations.
Reducing French influence is therefore unlikely to be a straightforward boon for political stability, and in decades to come we may well see a new generation of military leaders attempting to legitimise further coups on the basis of the need to rid their countries of malign Russian influence.

@@bushwacka5187 France was looting these country's natural resources.. In a few years these countries would be flourishing.. and I hope they do.
have they had an election to confirm that?

Russia really is the best country
Terrorist mindset supports terrorist..it's simple
No because they don't have toilets

You're right.
Russia bombed Libya flat. Terrorists!
@@hirojbehera448and we call you the terrorist 😅
It is truth
Africa SHOULD REMAINED NON-ALIGNED 😢, No Russia No France.
Melian dialogue dilemma, one can't be neutral if one can't protect ones own neutrality from powerful forces who don't respect it as just like with the Athenian's Siege of neutral city state Melos, "might makes right".
Melos could have saved itself by allying with its distant cousins, the Spartans who at least respected their sovereignty, culture and independence, but were left all alone as neutral when Athens didn't respect their independence.
And people wonder why these areas are so backwards...
Democracy, Liberalism and Freedom for All 💖
france is a colonial master as well as the next dictator in the country
Now that africa is awakening
What's left is the middle east
This is because of double standards of West
Let Africa be on their own. No humanitarian help and no asylum in Europe. They can rely on Russia and China.
Victors write the history.
❤
Can it be that Russia acctually try to rid ISIS and their likes?
❤We are proud of Africa, because the chosen Emperor Putin's lights, are shinning with no limits because the light of God is a light that must shine to lead us to our Heaven's on Earth planet❤.
Who introduced coup to African countries ?
If Russian 🇷🇺 is in African is not your business
The military will always belong in the barracks. That is a fact.
Russian in mean the end of africa but we have warn them
Actually, the
Another Mugabe, but this time nobody will feed them.
Russia is the current super power
People in the world never learn bout Putin/Xi how I handed they are.
It is thanks perhaps to former colonial masters, indeed they never left to a great degree!
France didn't recognize coups in Africa but recognised coup in Ukraine (2014.).
Foolishness.....stand up to one and bow to the other.... u will have to stand up to the other eventually
China is not the aggressor China is the future and neighbours to good neighbour's and friends 🇨🇳
🎉🎉😢
if Senegal could get an energetic liberator like Traore, a merger with Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso would give the Sahel region access to the sea. they can then route all their trading through Senegal's ports. Timbuktu would be resurrected and the Sahel region would boom again as Sundiata Keita, Mansa Musa and the other African legends intended. I miss the library of Timbuktu. It was magnificent
China is playing perfectly there but west are still playing with India, what a Joke. Karma❤
Free Afrika from modern colenalizm from france new
They want us all out lets see what putin gives them😅😅😅
Be careful what you write on these platforms as you could get gangstalked 👍🏾💯
