I have been watching these groups and they exist to serve the US and it’s allies. They hate Africa and especially an Africa that fends for itself.. This is why they are spreading misnformation about Mali,Niger and Burkina Faso! They along with France lost their control over these countries and they hate that ther is no way to get it back.

So they have been doing all sorts of devious things to these countries and to include Coups lead by France and it’s hatred for Burkina Faso’s Leader Ibrahiem Traor’e! He is the second coming of Thomas Sankara and it’s pissing alot of western and European countries off because now they can’t use the countries like they have been for 60 to 70 years, France owes all of it’s wealth and prestige to the 14 to 18 African countries it tricked/ bullied into siging over their futer to them in an attempt to break from colonization and it’s practises, now it has gotten into bed with enemy and can se no way forward.

The shining light of Traor’e, Tiani, Goita these brave leaders are changing their perspective countries be it little by little but never the less they are being changed by their hand along. The west and France hates this and as of yet has NOT stopped trying to overthrowe these great leaders so it can take the countries back and continue to subjigate them.

Rights groups and the United Nations have repeatedly accused Malian and Burkinabe troops of serious abuses committed against civilians suspected of collaborating with the jihadists. Both armies have denied wrongdoing.

7 December 2024There are concerns that junta leaders in the Sahel are trying to prolong their stay in power, by delaying elections meant to return their countries to civilian rule.
ADF says:February 27, 2024 Despite the deteriorating security and economic landscape in Burkina Faso, there is a clear reason why the ruling military junta remains popular: Russian propaganda and disinformation.

It’s the same reason why a recent deployment of notorious Russian Wagner Group mercenaries, now known as the Africa Corps, to the capital, Ouagadougou, enjoys the same level of approval, despite the group’s history of atrocities against civilians in Africa.

“Russia has effectively seized opportunities to manipulate citizen frustrations through disinformation campaigns,” Torianna Eckles, of the Wilson Center think tank, wrote in a January 22 opinion piece.

“In Burkina Faso, Russian-generated disinformation has encouraged democratic backsliding, fostered coups and increased support for repressive regimes (domestically and abroad) regardless of their human rights records.”

Russia has been conducting a yearslong, wide-ranging disinformation campaign aimed at destabilizing Burkina Faso and other democratically elected governments in West Africa and the Sahel.

France new approach in Africa in the context of Russian hybrid operations.
On 27th of February President Emmanuel Macron announced a new approach in French policy on Africa, stressing an end of Francafrique. The new policy would be based on the logic of partnership and solidarity instead of logic of interventionism, aid and protectionism. Importantly, it means that France is going to withdraw its troops from combat missions in Africa, particularly from the restive Sahel region. They are supposed to be replaced by local troops and France instead will focus on contribution to military education in the region. Saying that Macron rejected the idea that France may compete with some countries whose policy is based on mercenaries and armed forces, making a clear allusion to Russian usage of Wagner Group.

Macron stressed also that while he is proud of French troops achievements in Africa against terrorists, it was a mistake to assume that France can solve Africa’s political problems through military means and that France can’t take sole responsibility for that and in effect become a scapegoat. At the same time Macron thanked countries which contributed to fighting terrorism in operations in Mali through Takuba Task Force. Notably Poland was not among them, despite long consideration to join Takuba.
