ECOWAS Bank accounts frozen by Western World and America; ECOWAS is under enormous pressure to take military action in Niger
Facebook Post ^ | 8-20-2023 | Facebook

I was sent this video regarding banks freezing the accounts of ECOWAS to force them to take military action against Niger. The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS; also known as CEDEAO in French and Portuguese) is a regional political and economic union of fifteen countries located in West Africa.

Considered one of the pillar regional blocs of the continent-wide African Economic Community (AEC), the stated goal of ECOWAS is to achieve "collective self-sufficiency" for its member states by creating a single large trade bloc by building a full economic and trading union.

ECOWAS also serves as a peacekeeping force in the region, with member states occasionally sending joint military forces to intervene in the bloc's member countries at times of political instability and unrest.

I can't find confirmation anywhere else. But with all the regime media suppression that wouldn't be surprising. A friend from Nigeria said if true this will cost Biden the black vote.

In this case, “collective self-sufficiency” means organized for easier administration by the global oligarchs.

Only thing worse than being an enemy of America, is being a friend! Anyone that supports this American empire is sick… or corrupt.

This has Victoria Nuland’s claw marks all over it.

It may cost Biden the African naturalized citizen vote, but it won’t cost Biden the lazy ass black, former slave, seeking reparations vote. At least not the ones of the female variety. The Democrat party has a lock on them. Black men on the other hand, that vote has been slowly slipping away. I really don’t think some collective bank will motivate them. The contrast in their personal economics under Trump versus Biden will be the motivating factor.

If this report turns out to be true, it will further fuel to the fire over the new currency the BRICS nations are set to announce in Durbin, South Africa later this month.

If the USA and Western World keeps using the SWIFT system and US Dollar to punish nations who don’t go along with a new war in Africa, then switch to an alternative system, which doesn’t exist right now, but could later this year.

Yep. Many here stated that when the US used the SWIFT switch, every country saw and will respond.
Almost as if it’s deliberate...

This type of Western imperialist meddling is exactly what is driving the revolt against Western imperialist meddling. Russia and BRIChinaS are playing this as well as the West is muffing it.

Maybe the First generation of the Nigerian American vote which is a tiny, tiny sliver of 13%.

Pushing for military intervention in Niger is likely to lead to an African Civil War since Burkina Faso and Mali are ready to oppose ECOWAS intervention.

They have Russian-Wagner backing.

Algeria is not enthusiastic either and the broader African community wants negotiations on this matter not warfare.

Ok, if I’m Nigeria or another neighboring country, why is it my job to go invade Niger because DC and France are mad.

I don’t see how this could be true without it causing a huge ruckus.

Geopolitically speaking, very little makes sense in the last 20 years. (more than that, but it’s a focus)

This is one of those situations where we could benefit from giving it a good leaving-alone.

“This is one of those situations where we could benefit from giving it a good leaving-alone.”

Which means we’re going 100% in.

You can’t discount that it’s deliberate, think about it, what do the people in East Palestine and Maui have in common, both are middle class people struggling to survive, who would be hurt the most if the US dollar was no longer the World’s reserve currency ??

Everyone but the really wealthy and powerfully connected politicians, who can move their money into other assets while the rest of us are stuck eating bugs to survive.
