   ♥️🇫🇷

   Finally!

   French troops will stop to protect the dictator of Chad!

   Hoping that European countries will start to support only African democracies, and let these military dictatorships to their own!

   #Chad #France #CentralAfrica

     @NeonPurpleStar @nullagent

     whatever. if they want russian mercenaries to enslave and murder them, let them have what they want.

     there's much more to gain by establishing friendly, strong and long-lasting relations with African democracies.

     Let's ditch any imperialist mindset and start to treat African countries like any other country.

     @elCelio @nullagent ok, but the answer to this question is not simple
     
     think of syria, hollande wanted to intervene from 2014 in favour of the rebels and obama stopped him
     
     the rebels have now won and can build a free and democratic society, but would it have been better if we had saved all those decimated by the assad regime during the last 10 years?

     I know. But if they choose russia, I think the choice must be respected.
     Africa is big and diverse.
     "the West" is losing opportunities by treating it as a big blob, instead of focusing on reliable partners.

     Dictators like "President" Deby, son of "President" Deby (which stayed in power for 30 years straight - talk about coups! 🙄 ) is really not reliable.

     I don't want to have anything to do with shit like that, as anyone who values human rights and democracy should.

     I prefer to look at Ghana (and at Chad) now, not at when my parents weren't even born.

     Fellow democracies should support each other, whatever the continent.

     @elCelio @NeonPurpleStar @nullagent Ghana broke free of colonial rule in the late 50s. Look at the history of colonial liberation movements across the world: they always had a dictatorship and the liberalization process came after shaking off their colonial powers.

     @jberg @NeonPurpleStar @nullagent

     Ghana complains about russia but not about the French.

     what you don't see are West African military dictatorships complain about russia, because they like the dictatorship part of it.
