    Gotta manufacture consent to invade a sovereign independent nation that recently gained it’s freedom back. Colonialist demons will never change.

    I wonder if that’ll end up getting edited from an IP address in Virginia in like 2 hours…

    Fair play to the cold hearted, reality manufacturing oppression of the western propaganda machine though, they got my ass, I figured Wagner were probably involved somehow. I guess I’ve been listening to too many Warren Zevon songs about mercenaries lmao

    I was under the impression that there were some Wagner guys had been in the area already, fighting jihadist groups. Any confirmation as to whether or not that’s still the case?

      This was my takeaway but this has me second guessing. I’ve just spent a bit of time looking and I can’t confirm their presence in Niger. I can confirm it in both Mali and Burkina Faso though.

      Wagner has always seemed like quite a fluid entity to me that could go anywhere they were welcome. my assumption was that there probably wasn’t Wagner presence in Niger before the coup due to French influence but they might step in if called by the new government. no idea if that’s actually what will happen unless a war kicks off though.

    Which article is this?

    Edit: Yeah I can just quote search this, here’s the article, and here is the source.

    Edit 2: Apparently someone else already replied but that reply didn’t show up on my end, the curses of shoddy federation
