Russia is definitely in it for the long haul in Africa. From M.K. Bhadrakumar at indianpunchline.com:
Russia’s Deputy Defence Minister Colonel-General Yunus-bek Yevkurov (L) presents a pistol as gift to Libyan military commander Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar (C), Benghazi, Libya, August 24, 2023
Africa, especially west Africa, has a strong sense of collective identity. Trends in one country have a way of spreading across the continent. Therefore, It might or might not be a coincidence that the military takeover in Gabon on Wednesday came just a day after French President Emmanuel Macron took a tough stance vis-a-vis the generals in power in Niger.
Macron not only scoffed at the generals’ demand seeking removal of the French envoy in Niamey and the French troops numbering 1500 personnel in that country but threatened to attack Niger.
Apparently, Macron meant business. AFP had reported last week the stern warning by the spokesman for the French general staff, Colonel Pierre Gaudillière, that “French military forces are ready to respond to any resurgence of tension that would undermine French military and diplomatic bases in Niger” and that “measures have been taken to protect these bases”.
But the generals in Niamey hit back despatching a communication to the French foreign ministry that Macron’s envoy, Ambassador Sylvain Itté “no longer enjoys the privileges and immunities attached to his status as a member of the diplomatic staff of the French Embassy”; his “diplomatic cards and visas” and those of his family members “are cancelled”; and, the Niger police “have been instructed to proceed with the expulsion” of Itté.

Loving this coalition formation and you can see the players of the really big show WWIII forming up for the Big Battle.
The Big Battles were excellent Frenchy teevee documentaries about WWII from the late 1960’s.
Is the rainbow sodomite GAE bathhouse ready for Total War as Joseph Goebbels called it in 1943?
Even if it isn’t the Red Shield Bolshevik bankster clan and the FEW have ordered it as must have for the CBDC control grid matrix and the bugs/pods of the egalitarian workers utopia.
