Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin:
[ColonelCassad] After demands from Burkina Faso to remove French troops from the country, France withdrew its ambassador from Burkina Faso. In neighboring Niger, work has already begun to prepare for the deployment of a special forces battalion, which is currently stationed in Burkina Faso, but should be withdrawn in the short term. It is assumed that its place in this country (together with the bases) will be taken by the Wagner PMC.

France is also allocating additional funds to strengthen its positions in Niger, fearing that a military coup may occur here (as happened in Mali and Burkina Faso) and France will be asked to leave from here as well. A number of French sources note that the recognition of the Wagner PMC as a "transnational criminal organization" is connected, among other things, with Macron's complaints to Biden, where the French actually signed that they could not do anything with the Russian strategy in northwestern Africa, where the PMC " Wagner" acts as one of the instruments of Russian politics.

It is noteworthy, but even in the concept of the development of the French armed forces until 2030, the situation is already prescribed when the military presence of France in Africa will be reduced, which transparently hints at the fact that Paris is aware of the simple fact that to restore the former neo-colonial empire, which was destroyed not without the help of Russia for the last few years, France will no longer succeed (although the remaining dependent countries like Niger or Senegal will hold on to the last). In fact, it can already be stated that under Macron, France has lost its neo-colonial empire in Africa.

#1 Sounds like Africans trading French for Russians. Good luck with that. Dunno which is worse.

#4 One night I was told we were going out to an Ethiopian restaurant. I said, What, you get an empty plate to look at?"

#5 Old enough, I am, to remember the first generation of cool kids since Mussolini's day to nonchalantly gush about the glories of Ethiopian cuisine. Of course I was immune to all their foolishness... [runs out to fight death squad for plate of pupusas]
