Niger Coup: The Russian Connection To Coup Politics In Africa
Biden’s Africa summit last December.) As the summit unfolded, yet another coup took place in West Africa, the seventh since 2020. Coup politics in Africa has become a Russian specialty, and we may yet find that Russia’s Wagner mercenary group, which commands roughly 1000 soldiers, will be operating in Niger. Prigozhin reportedly hailed the Niger coup for overthrowing colonialism, meaning a pro-Western leader; he offered his troops to help reestablish order, meaning repression of the new regime’s opponents. Second, the great needs in West Africa are finding the resources to address poverty, illiteracy, and desertification south of the Sahara.

Do Not Let an Extremist Amhara Wing Hijack the Fanno Movement
Fourth, the current Fanno movement is the result of the betrayal and savagery of Oromo-PP led by hate-driven Oromummaa cult. The momentum for the Fanno movement is immense. Do Not Let Extremist Elements Hijack the Fanno MovementThe very extremist souls who were gung-ho about NaMA in 2018 and 2019 want to use the same model for Fanno. The Shaleka and his people are busy trying to hijack the Fanno movement. This is dangerous and will end up squandering the organic Fanno movement that has burst spontaneously onto the Amhara and indeed onto the Ethiopian political scene.
