😆 that’s what I got when I asked Siri about that acronym. Something got lost in translation here.
Why not?
This has been going on since the European countries de-colonized.
Mostly areas where we have deployments
Seriously?? Africa reshuffles the national deck chairs so often that it’s actually a good metric to use when you look at an old globe or map. I love old globes - and the first place I look is Africa to help me narrow down the date.
You mean like packaged meals?
Thank you for the link.
I think it’s meals to go = Togo
I sent that to a South African emigre friend a few years ago, and he agreed heartily with most if not all of that. He bailed out a couple decades ago. His wife won’t even consider going back to visit.
I mean like meals Togo, of course; if you're Ghana have a Netflix night because you've Benin work all day, you don't want to have to cook your own dinner. Good golly, Miss Mali...
I think this might be the opposite. One way to get from under deals with the Chinese is to have the government fall, the new government makes the old treaties non-binding, and the CCP has to pay again to the new overlords.
Unless the old government was killed, they will redo the favor in five to ten years. Look at Maada Bio in Sierra Leone for that hat trick.
Did you not read your own article?
Stolen elections, lack of security, people trying to stay in power after they should have left and in one case, an orderly succession from dead father to son.
You may not like it but that is the way they do things in many countries.
The military is the reset button for when things go wrong.
It is the way the Roman Empire worked.
Even South Africa...the most affluent,and advanced,nation in Africa...is a 4th World hellhole when you travel outside a few white enclaves in suburban Johannesburg and a few other cities. I know...I’ve been there...recently.
Last time Obama was President, revolutions/coups in various places. Then Europe was flooded by many thousands upon thousands of savages.
“the new military leader, Lieutenant Colonel Paul-Henri Damiba, told the nation in his first public address that he would return the country to constitutional order “when the conditions are right.
I wonder when WE will return to constitutional order.
That is the question, isn’t it?
This is why it is important to have leaders that look like the people
Hmm...people get mad about that sort of thing, eh? Something for them to ponder over at the NYT.
