Don't know a lot about it, but I will count that as a win.
Feels like a win to me too. Feels like Africans are kicking the globalists the hell out of their countries.
Which globalists are in the Congo now?
The French control a lot of Africa.
At one time, yes. But they've spent the past several years pulling their forces out of Africa.
And they haven't had any forces in the Congo for quite a while as far as I can tell.
So the country that we're talking about, the Congo, hasn't been controlled by the French in years.
What is a puppet leader? What is a proxy? What country benefits from the cheap child labor and natural resources? Where does the gold mined from that country go to?
It's alright, you'll get there someday. Unless you're one of those autistic people who take everything literally from mainstream media and can't connect dots.
Many. Look up a book called "confessions of an economic hitman" to learn how it's done.
"Incredible reports about some serious events in Brazzaville, the capital of Congo, have emerged. The government denies these false reports. We invite the public to carry on with their activities in a calm manner," - he stated on X social media. https://apa.az/en/africa/reports-of-coup-emerge-in-congo-411983 -- https://chimpreports.com/coup-unfolds-in-republic-of-congo-as-president-denis-sassou-nguesso-arrives-in-new-york/
Why do I get the feeling that all the recent action happening in Africa lately are part of some larger White Hat plan to stabilize the continent in a more permanent manner
It is. Gaddafi will have the last laugh.

Baffled I say.
Congo was also one of the more horrific Imperialist torture-lands.

And it was Belgians.
Wrong Congo. The French settled the Congo. Belgium settled the Democratic Republic of the Congo, or the DRC.
It gets confusing, I know.
So why now and who is behind this one?
Russia’s Wagner “musicians “ are very active in many of the West African countries. They are opening up sort of a second front which will embarrass and inconvenience France as a result of their support for Ukraine.

Well played.
Hope the military can shut down those cobalt mines as well
Minerals are the only source of income for those countries.
Wrong Congo. The Democratic Republic of Congo, or the DRC, is the country with the most cobalt mines in the world.
The Republic of Congo is the one that supposedly had the coup attempt. But they're denying it. And I don't think they have many, if any, cobalt mines.
It's unlikely that will happen. The cobalt mines are unfortunately one of those situations where the mines are economically infeasible if modern methods are used, because the deposits are so pocketed and the need for small, inexpensive laborers is great. Plus, it is the classic dilemma of a poor economy that either the children work in addition to the adults, or the family starves.
Don’t worry be happy China is all over Africa. 1) Chinese businesses are increasing their investment in Africa's agricultural sector, growing more grains, and through the initiative of “100 companies in 1,000 villages”, helping create jobs, reduce poverty and improve livelihood for the rural households in Africa. 2) Both China and Africa proclaim a new, mutually beneficial economic, political, and regional alliance. China sees a source for raw materials and energy, desperately needed to support its industrial and economic growth. 3) China loaned a total of $143 billion to African governments and state-owned enterprises between 2000 and 2017. In 2020, the African countries with the largest Chinese debt were Angola ($25 billion), Ethiopia ($13.5 billion), Zambia ($7.4 billion), the Republic of the Congo ($7.3 billion), and Sudan ($6.4 billion). 4) Debt-trap diplomacy is a term to describe an international financial relationship where a creditor country or institution extends debt to a borrowing nation partially, or solely, to increase the lender's political leverage. The creditor country is said to extend excessive credit to a debtor country with the intention of extracting economic or political concessions when the debtor country becomes unable to meet its repayment obligations.[1] The conditions of the loans are often not publicized.[2] The borrowed money commonly pays for contractors and materials sourced from the creditor country.
Where else would China get all the rare earth minerals and other resources they need to manufacture all the cool stuff we buy on Amazon and at Walmart? 🤷
I'm confused. Didn't they gain their independence from the French in the 1960s? Why would France have anything to do with them now?
That's like something happening in the Philippines and saying the US has some sort of responsibility to them for it.
Well, the government in charge there now, which is not France, is saying there has been no coup attempt, so....
But you're saying the French were trying to make a coup, by rigging their elections?
Ok....
And debt. Debt is the most powerful weapon of subjugation, more so than any rigged election or standing army.
France’s military has been very active in most of their former African colonies ever since their nominal independence. This secured their mineral resources for France, especially the uranium from Chad and Niger. France produces most if not all of its domestic electricity from nuclear power.
I know that Operation Barkhane has been in effect this year, withdrawing French troops from all over Africa.
I wasn't aware they still had a lot of forces in the Congo, though. I'll have to look into that.
Edited to add: Well, I started looking into it, and Operation Barkhane ended last year. So I'm out of date on my info already.
I don't follow African politics as much as I should. I do know there have been several coups in some African countries this past year, and some people blame France for it, because they have been pulling their troops out of Africa.
Edited again to add: Still looking through all the info I can find on France's military bases in Africa, and I can't find any info about any bases they currently have in the Republic of Congo.
If anyone has any information about that, please share.
I'll keep looking, but right now, all signs point to "no" when it comes to France still having troops in the Congo.
Decolonization in progress? If so, GO-ConGO :)
Well, that happened in the 1960s, so....
Did it really though? Much of West Africa still uses the Franc as currency. Do you need a standing army to subjugate a country, or just control of their money?
Q post 136
Congo: Bank of Central African States
World War III is Humanity vs The Bank. Everything else is secondary.
I’ve always wonder why in the 21 century that AmericanAfrican’s complain about living in the US. There is a map of Africa, there is dna testing that can place you where you’re from with a few hundred miles, there’s jets leaving everyday that way.
Dunno.
But on the other hand, I see plenty of people here complain about living in the US, too.
They could do DNA tests, look at a map, and take a jet to which ever country they would like, as well. 🤷
Ill wait to see how this all plays out before I make a judgement call on whether this is decolonization or simply recolonization by new masters (China/Russia).
