Months ago, we touched on plots by France to maintain its grip on francophone West Africa by engineering conflicts and stoking political crises in francophone states. The leaders of some these states are marked for assassination, or to be forced out of power in palace coups.
The only way for Paris to justify its military presence in West Africa is to be the man that sets his neighbours house on fire and arrive with a fire truck to help.
President Buhari has played hosts to more francophone heads of states in one month, than he did in all of 2020.
April 19 2021: Nigers new President, Mohammed Bazoun pays a state visit to President Buhari, 48 hours after survuving a palace coup barely 24 hours upon resuming office. In a closed door meeting that had Nigeria's defence chief present, both leaders talked about forging close
security ties that "will stabilize our region for the benefit of the two countries.”
A week later the President of Togo, Faure Gnassingbe survives a poison attack.
On April 25th he pays an emergency visit to Nigeria where he requested men of the NIA and DSS to be part of his security detail. Obviously scared for his life.
May 6 2021. President of Guinea Bissau Umaro Sissoco Embalo pays a state visit to Nigeria, where he expressed his desires to raise the existing cordial relations between both nations, and to align them with the strategic and economic priorities of the two nations.
There seem to be a profound air of uneasiness in francophone West Africa with presidents either dying in office, or forced out of power.
Enter Ivory Coast.
Two days ago (14 May 2021) Ivorian Prime Minister Patrick Achi was rushed to the hospital in Paris.
Ivory Coast deserves a closer look. In July 2020, Ivorian Prime Minister Amadou Gon Coulibally died mysteriously in office. He was replaced by Hamed Bakayoko.
March 2021. Prime Minister Hamed Bayako is DEAD.
The Present Minister, who was rushed to Paris might not make it.
We are looking at one country losing three Prime Ministers in the space of eight months. This is without precedence.
Notice how they keep breaking records?
Nigers President would have been the President with the shortest duration in power evern had the coup been successful
He would have been President for 19 hours. What we are looking at is engineered chaos. By targeting the leadership of these nations they hope to destabilize to stir political unrest and violence, with waring factions picking up arms against each other.
Remember this footage at a NATO Summit in London??
This is Emmanual Macron at a NATO Summit in London, warning West African leaders against growing anti-French sentiments. Observe the use of clever subterfuge to scored two clever points.
1. A veiled threat to the leaders of these countries to curb rising anti-French sentiments or else.
2. It gives a deceptive impression that he will be all too happy to withdraw French troops in the region with a sigh of relief.
In this same speech he summoned the leaders of the aforementioned countries to Paris for explanation. Not asked. Not requested. He practically summoned them. And doing this at a NATO Summit shows the level of disrespect they have for Africa..
Well guess what. Out of the blue Emanuel Macron has become an economist. He is organizing a summit in Paris im two days.
The theme?
Greater Financial Support for African Countries against Covid.
So here we have Macron. One minute threatening to withdraw French forces...
The next minute he is organizing a Summit no African country requested for. He wants to be seen as championing the cause for economic aid to Africa. Africa has the least infection in the world. This is a clever ploy to use every excuse he can find to remain engaged in Africa.
The Italians said it best.
The sooner Africans unite to kick France out of Africa for good, the faster we get out of this circle of violence that has basicaly created its own ecosystem of strife and violence

K-13 short range air to air missile. NATO code named AA-2 Atoll.
The K-13 is a semi-active radar and Infrared homing air to air missile. Analogus the M-21 and F-7Ni fighter. Its similar in appearance and capability to the American AIM 9 missile. Some say the technology was by the Soviets via espionage. Who knows.
The K-13 has a 13 kg high explosive bursting charge warhead that creates a cloud of sharp debris. It features a proximity fuse operates from a distance of 15 m from the target.
An open letter written from the Malian Economic Minister Tiécoro Diakite, to Nigeria's President Buhari WARNING Nigeria about the real goals and objectives of France in Africa. If only we listened.
Dear Mr. President!
The majority of Africans greeted your election to the Supreme post of Nigeria. The Federation of Nigeria, the largest truly independent African country is a matter of pride and dignity for Africans.
Your predecessor had relegated Nigeria to the level
of Francophone African countries under neo-colonialist French rule, with such domination tools as the French army and the CFA franc currency used in franco-Africa guaranteed by the French treasury.
Nigerian Army launches artillery bombardments of Boko Haram fighters in Konduga LGAn Borno State.
Field Artillery troops of Operation Hadin Kai bombarded a mass gathering of Boko Haram fighters at Dawuri village in the Konduga. Intelligence report revealed the terrorists were planning to execute coordinated attacks around Maiduguri and its environ.
Nigerian Army launched massive artillery bombardment on their camps. The pre-emptive strike carried out after obtaining intelligence on the movement of the fighters and the interception of their communication by army intelligence.
So its been two days of researching, and investigating the cause of the latest Israeli Palentiniian conflict, and i dont like my findings. There will be no exposition on this one. It will be too provocative. All i can touch on is the weapons both sides are using on each other.
Hamas Strategic Rocket Forces are on a scale that dwarves the arsenal of most African militaries. Hamas spends $100 million a year on military infrastructure. These guys dont play around.
They have rockets like the A-120 with a maximum range from to 120 km.
Cameroon's military has a historic fear of Nigerian artillery. A force capable of laying waste to enemy territory by the acre.
On August 19 2020, Nigerian army artillery in conjunction with Cameroon air force surveillance crushed ISWAP terrorists in the Lake Chad.
ISWAP fighters were observed in Fedondoya village around Tumbunli on the fringes of Lake Chad trying to make their way into Cameroon, by a Cameroonian ISR plane. A Cessna 208B to be exact, and subsequently requested Nigerian artillery interdiction.
The Cameroonian airforce provided surveillance and observations from their ISR platform? while Nigerian Field Artillery troops bombarded the terrorists.
Its Leahs Sharibus 18th birthday today. She was 14 when she was abducted by ISWAP. She is fierce. A fighter. The girl who defied one of the deadliest terrorist group in the world. Four years on, she is still in captivity.
She is in essence has become a symbol of strenght for women. One would think the government do whatever it takes ti secure the release of such a female icon.
Sheikh Gumi..advocate for blanket Amnesty for bandits. Remember Leah Sharibu. Your "diplomatic" skill will come in handy.
