Here in france, people are really convinced france is hated in Africa because of Russians, so many people here are absolutely clueless about anything happening there.
The guys in these groups don't even claim this started because of Wagner these frogs are full of it
They got Russiagate brainworms too?
On anything related to their (ex)colonies, yes.
There's also this thing were nobody really gives a fuck? Like when the coup happened a few years back in Niger, mainstream media was really behaving shocked, they had no idea about anything, nothing about any political factions, economics, french involvement,... literally like it came falling out of the sky. So they just randomly started saying it was Putin and Wagner and just kept going with it, it's sad but also kinda funny tbh. Loser empire.
Niger not Nigeria
Thanks, my bad lmao
It's still really bad, try to read the WSJ article they put out today about Burkina Faso, there's just no vision of what's going on at all. Vague bullshit with some jingoistic bullshit thrown in.
