Am I missing something or are some African nations just getting off the West tits to jump on China and Russia’s tits? Switching White colonization for Yellow colonization?
Its exactly what it is.
Yep that yellow milk must seem more appealing than the white milk
Ukraine's support for West African rebels is backfiring, The Times reports.
The publication recalls that after the Kremlin-backed Wagner mercenary group suffered its latest and most severe defeat in Africa (dozens of Russians were killed in an ambush in July), Ukrainian military intelligence was quick to claim credit.
Now, the Times reports, that boast looks like a symbolic defeat for Kyiv after the juntas of Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger asked the UN Security Council to condemn Ukraine's alleged support for rebel groups in the Sahel region of West Africa, where Wagner is based.
Mali severed diplomatic ties with Ukraine earlier this month over comments by a GUR spokesman who said a separatist group in northern Mali had received "more than just intelligence" to launch an attack.
Days later, Niger's military government did the same in solidarity with its neighbor, accusing Ukraine of supporting "international terrorism."
In their letter to the UN Security Council, the foreign ministers of Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso ask for the prevention of "subversive acts" that threaten regional and continental stability.
The three states have shunned their traditional Western and African regional allies since their juntas came to power in 2020, turning to Moscow for military support to fight a jihadist insurgency sweeping the Sahel.
Diplomats confirmed that the letter, posted on the account of an X group called the "Sahel Alliance" that includes Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger, was distributed to the 15 council members.
Ukraine has not commented on the letter, but has previously said there is no evidence of its role in supporting rebels in Mali. This contradicts the words of GUR press secretary Andrei Yusov, who said the agency was involved in a "successful operation against Russian war criminals."

Man I hope this brother got his head on a swivel because they coming. Hope the leaders in the adjacent countries stick together cause it seems they’re waking up to the game too.
Senegal has launched a major effort to reclaim control over its oil and gas resources, setting up a commission to review and renegotiate contracts with foreign companies that critics say have long favoured international interests over national ones.
It will scrutinise contracts in Senegal's oil, gas, and mining sectors to identify areas where terms can be renegotiated in favour of the national interest. The commission has the authority to bring in additional expertise from abroad if necessary.
In addition to the contract review, Sonko also announced plans to develop a restructuring and reconfiguration plan for the Port of Dakar, further indicating the government's focus on strengthening national control over key resources and infrastructure.

Denmark to close Mali, Burkina Faso embassies
The country said it was shutting embassies in Mali and Burkina Faso and opening new ones in Senegal, Tunisia and Rwanda.
Denmark said Monday, August 26, it was shutting its embassies in Mali and Burkina Faso as part of a new Africa strategy, as military coups have "severely limited the scope for action in the Sahel region."The foreign ministry also said it would open embassies in Senegal, Tunisia and Rwanda, and bolster diplomatic staff at its embassies in Egypt, Kenya, South Africa, Nigeria and Ghana, while a special representative would be appointed for the African Great Lakes and Sahel region.
Mali and Burkina Faso have turned to Russia and its Wagner mercenary group for support since military leaders seized power in 2020 and 2022 respectively. Mali's relations with European countries have deteriorated recently. Earlier this month, its military junta ordered the Swedish ambassador to leave the country after a Swedish minister criticized Malian support for Russia.
Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen said his country's reorganization of priorities in Africa came as Denmark and the European Union aimed to be Africa's "preferred partner" as the continent faces whether to "orient itself more towards the East or the West."
"We have a clear interest in the African countries looking towards us in Europe as they chart the course for their future," he said. "We must demonstrate that we offer an attractive alternative to the increasing Chinese and Russian influence on the continent," he added.
The new Danish strategy will focus heavily on increasing trade and on water initiatives. In the coming years, Denmark plans to provide one billion kroner ($150 million) in development assistance to new bilateral water initiatives in Africa, and 425 million kroner in 2025 alone.
They trying to get it together, just gonna take a while with the history of mismanagement

FRANCE CAME TO AFRICA WITH THE SWORD, RUSSIA WITH SINCERITY AND RESPECT - President of African Black Defense League (LDNA) Egountchi Behanzin explains why Africa chooses partnership with Moscow over colonial France and why he came to learn Russian entrepreneurship at the Eastern Economic Forum (EEF), in an exclusive interview with our channel. France and Africa not cooperating, it's a slavery policy, neo-colonialism, imperialism. There's no partnership between oppressed and oppressor. France came to Africa by weapons, genocide, wars, plunder and exploitation of African continent and its natural resources Russia always supported African countries, it's a partnership we're free to accept or not, a win-win mutual cooperation. It's not plundering African continent, not leading imperialist, economic policy that prevents countries from developing Russia is in a dynamic of a multipolar world, not unipolar one dominated by U.S, it comes to Africa knowing it's necessary to strengthen cooperation to break world order established by Washington - Behanzin. - Intel Republic
