>major Al-Qaeda/ISIS/Separatist offensives over the last week >Wagner Hinds getting shot down/strongholds abandoned >amount of Mali’s territory lost by the military junta surpassed 2/3rds in the last week; capital besieged >almost half of Burkina Faso is Al-Qaeda controlled >Niger is almost definitely next on the jihadist chopping block>fighting consists of hordes of Allahu Snackbars with RPGs/PKMs on dirt bikes tearing apart fuel truck convoys
>Kick out French>Replace them with Russian ziggers>Start losingFucking retards seriously looked at the absolute failures of the 2022 invasion and went "Okay but what if they were on our side".
>>65131086You have to understand that these people have the mentality of a toddler. This means that:1)It's totally unacceptable to them that France dares ask them to not genocide minorities, and spend aid money on the things they're supposed to instead of an extention to a government officials mansion. That's like, totally colonialism all over again.2)Russias oh so many and trad propaganda works on them. If the French, who were soft and weak for having stuff like "morals" and "decent conditions for solders" could do it, of course the ruthless rugged Russian could do better.
>>65131100If you look up footage of the Sahel war and news coverage of it on YT the comments are literally filled with West Africans going “nuh uh!!! Lying!!! We ain’t losing, western lies!!!” Their first and foremost concern even as they’re on the brink of the African version of Saigon falling is doubling down and preserving their image. Totally in denial, it’s nuts.
>>65131890It's funny, their progranda channels like to spam videos saying they completely destroyed the rebels exactly like how zigger do.
>>65130901Leaving ECOWAS not looking like such a hot move now...
>>65130901Fighting seems to have stalled, but people are thinking JNIM, Tuaregs and ISIS are regrouping for the next offensive though.
>>65132181At what point does this become frontpage news? When France starts bombing?
>>65132187Will they though? France was ask in no uncertain terms to leave why would they help at all. Hell I'll go further and ask are the French helping the Islamist forces out of spit?
>>65132187why would they? Mali's Junta and the other retards that decided to consume russian cum needs to be taught a lesson
>>65132198>>65132200The French are somewhat obsessed with maintaining influence and power in Africa. I could see them making some sort of Faustian Bargain.
>>65132181There wasn't much news coming out of Niger or Mali about JNIM and IS-Sahel towards the end of 2025 and early 2026; now we know why, they were lying low while preparing for this big offensive. If there's suddenly radio silence concerning Jihadist activity for another stretch of several months, then we know that they're almost certainly massing for the last big push to choke off Bamako and other population centers.
>>65132219But with who the dip shist running the show or the zealots running around in the desert?
>>65132324There seems to be a pretty common belief amongst third worlders that the French are covertly funding/supporting IS-Sahel to get back at the West African regimes that booted French influence out. Honestly the French have been up to so much shady shit in Africa that I wouldn’t immediately put it past them to try something like that, but it seems a little too far-fetched.
>>65130901>russocucks committing assisted suicide>eurocucks flooding their countries with muzzchads>africucks corruption maxxing until they fall to muzzchads>israelicucks making the world hate them despite being surrounded by muzzchads>asiacucks self selecting for extinction>aussicucks copying eurocucks>americucks squandering away their hegemony>latincucks lmaoI’m starting to believe the world will fall to Islam. Through their own stubbornness and tenacity and the rest of the world’s retarded incompetence.
>>65132382blaming france/the collective west is the national pastime in these countries because it allows them to shift blame away from el presidente for life filling his swiss bank accountsand yeah funding a jihadi coalition doesn't make sense imo since france makes more money when the region is (relatively) stable, not less. and frankly nothing of what has been documented seems so outlandish that it would point to an external sponsor either, it just shows the weakness or complete absence of government control in most of the country. and that's been apparent for some time.
>>65130901Now add in mass famine from fertilizer shortages and rising costs of fuel. No biggie for rich countries we'll just outbid the thirdies. The whole continent is a smoldering dumpster fire that's about to receive a few gallons of gasoline.
>>65130901This has got to tie rabid Sunni jihadists in first place with Tankies for the Most Stubborn Guerilla Insurgents Ever Awardthese motherfuckers do NOT know when to give up lmao, they've been at it nonstop for damn near 40 years straight
>>65132808Anon not once in recorded history has that region been truly peaceful.
>>65132840yeah i'm well aware that Africa has never been peaceful, but these Allahu Snackbars are very clearly in a whole different league of do-or-die and putting their money where their mouth is in terms of achieving their Caliphate goals than your average clumsy African militia brawl faction. Whatever you think of them, they certainly fuckin put up or shut up.
>>65131086I've talked to guys from there. They claim that France is helping the rebels to punish Mali for standing up to France.
>>65132889it's not that deep it's just Arabs and Berbers bodying nogs, which isn't that surprising.
>>65130901is there any footage of the Wagner hind getting shot down
>>65132382They literally think that France and Ukraine are backing JNIM, IS-Sahel, and the Tuaregs
>>65132219BENIN DDDDD
Fighting our way out of Mali now. We’ll make it out.
>>65132187When ten million Africans come to Europe to flee the war and bring their shitty culture with them
Would hon hon hon through them all in a week.
the brutal siege of bamako continues...
>>65132382Anti-French sentiment in Africa is not based on facts but feelings. It has historical roots in French colonialism and interventions but then gets mixed up with retarded tribalism. This is a Nigerien intellectual:>I recently gave a course in Niamey, for which I created a debate exercise. I divided the class into several groups and listed the causes commonly attributed to the conflicts in the Sahel, including the idea now so widespread in Sahelian public opinion that it would be a French plot. Each group had to meet for around twenty minutes, develop an argument, and present it to the class by responding to criticism and questions from their classmates. I insisted to the students that they should avoid agreed-upon answers and that the group that surprised me the most with a well-crafted argument would receive a bonus. It was encouraging them to "think outside the box", as the English says. It was generally wasted effort, but especially for the group which had to deal with the French machination "cause". Following the most conventional anti-French rhetoric, this group argued that the Sahel war had been knowingly provoked by France to exploit "our immense natural resources". This hardly surprised me, of course, but what really surprised me was that the other students criticized this group not for having said all the bad things they thought about France, but for not having said bad enough! I saw that I was in the presence of a dogma, that is to say non-thought which presents itself in the form of a thought, a sort of castration of reflection. I was sad for France, but especially for us – because these people, and all those who nourish their dogmatic inclination, are supposed to be the elites of the Sahel, and they are elites who, obviously, on a vital emergency issue for their people, don't think. France's fault in a certain way: it is the devil who corresponds to all our problems, and therefore exempts us from thinking and deliberating.
>>65134158>Another example: a little over a year ago, I was in Ouagadougou with a law professor whom I was considering inviting to a conference. She asked me what was happening in Niger. At the time, there was a sort of small insurrectional movement in the Diffa region which denounced the PNDS dictatorship and specifically attacked Bazoum Mohamed, then one of the leaders of the PNDS but above all from the sector. I tried to explain what it was about, but she cut me off: "It’s organized by France!" A little stunned, I told him, no, that France was very much part of the PNDS regime and had no reason to destabilize it, that in my opinion it had to do with the fact that Bazoum, who was particularly targeted... She didn't let me unwind my boring demonstration,much less exciting for her than French diabolism. I couldn't believe it: this lady was not Nigerien, had not heard of this event before I informed her, but she was convinced, five minutes after learning about it, that she understood better than me what it was about. Belief is stronger than knowledge.https://rahmane.substack.com/p/du-sentiment-antifrancais-au-sahel
>>65131086Let's not pretend Frogniggers ever did anything other than exploit the region for its resources and artificially inflate the currencies of their former colonies whenever they didn't get their way. They were just more successful than Vatniks at it.
>>65133369For Ukraine it at least it makes sense since it fucks over Russia directly.
>>65134158When you do find one of them who is willing to think about the situation for a second, they still end up defaulting to it all being the frenchies fault, arguing that the rebels/terrorists/whatever are way to well equipped to not be supported by the french, after all they have the same fighting capabilities as the government forces, tanks and all. Even if it isn't the french government supplying them it absolutely must be french arms dealers just dishing them out AKs or money to get weapons, it is unthinkable that weapons not only grow on trees over there since the soviet collapse and that the rebels could use captured equipment, and that the official forces could be utterly incompetent retards.
>>65134202you don't need to go much further than this thread to see people that will say that it's always the fault of the froggies.
>>65132913>>65132913>it's not that deep it's just Arabs and Berbers bodying nogsJinm are mostly fulanis nogs you dumb fuck
I had a Cameroonian taxi driver who wanted to talk to me about politics when he found out that I used to work in West Africa and spoke French. He asked me why, in my opinion, was Africa so poor. I blamed corrupt local governments and explained how I had seen countless local officials embezzle aid money, siphon public funds to their personal bank accounts and sell their country’s resources to foreign companies for pennies just so they could pocket all of the proceeds themselves…Then he went “Well don’t you think it’s France’s fault though” and then went on a diatribe about how terrible and barbaric France is and how the French are the cause of every problem in Africa. THEN he started talking about how amazing China is and how much business China is doing in Africa and how China is “the future”.Most Africans are poorly educated and get their news from WhatsApp text chains. It wasn’t difficult for China and Russia to trick them into signing their own death warrant.
>>65132382The Malian army is the main supplier of weapons to terrorists since their go to strat is to attack an isolated outpost, kill everyone, loot the place, leave, wait for the Malians to resupply it and do it again.
>>65132137What's the French for No Refunds? I need to spam it on about a million african twitter posts.
>>65132243is this edited?if real, I'm in awe. they flawlessly shifted the focus AWAY from the stuff about ongoing losses to "b-but what about the NAMES bro" culture war shit. they really are masters of lies and distractions.
>>65132808Malayans have been at it for longer innit?
>>65134175Frogniggers have intervened in Africa on average once every 15 months since 1964 and that's not to count supporting coups and other shenanigans. In any event, Idrissa in that article is critical of the sovereignist discourse though because he doesn't think the French effort against jihadis that began in 2013 was neocolonial. France needs strong African states and African armies to help deal with the jihadis because they threaten to destabilize the region, and they will also carry out attacks in France. "As a result, the rise of anti-French sentiment turning into hateful obsession in the region is one of those tragedies of errors that result from a terrible history and a bad past." The Africans finally rebelled against the French the first time a French intervention was actually in their interest.
>>65134429This happens every time with every topic, the focus of these shows is to provide cheap entertainment for proles by showing how foreign experts/opposition leaders get owned by patriotically oriented hosts
>>65134448theyre pretty much extinct in malaysia and indonesia. moro phillipines still occassionaly pops up but they pretty much just kidnap americans for ransom nowadays and nothing else
>>65130901didnt even knew this was real because of the low population there , its like ok they captured 30 km 2 of desert??? it looks like isis goes to de sahara
>>65135393thats just isis controlled ones btw, AQ and tuaregs hold other areas
>>65134473I don't know how involved Russia is in Niger currently, but this is le single stroke that shapes all future Russian discussions with regards to Nigeria. anyone even attempting to talk about it will have to make a choice on the culture war shit and have any potential discussions and whistleblowing attempts completely derailed. utterly fascinating.
So can Wagner do anything, aside from braining civvies?
>>65134292Seen that Congo trip story?
>>65135584They're not good at coups apparently or taking Bakhmut. Guess they're good at whacking unarmed people in the head with sledgehammers
>>65135393that's only ISIS turf. Al-Qaeda's West Africa branch is way bigger and more significant.
>>65135393anon that area's the size of new mexicoHow big do you think it has to be before you think it's significant/the rest of the world starts caring as much as they did with ISIS Arabs took that much space in Iraq
>>65135822The west won't start caring until they begin sending refugees
>>65135822It's an inconsequential wasteland in the middle of bumfuck nowhere with nothing of value in it and nowhere near anything important, like an ally. It could be the size of Texas for all that it matters.
>>65135614in4 they get cancelled and doxxed for tellling their story, lol
>>65134429I can see it being real, russians are more used to pronouncing a hard G instead of a soft G like the french
>>65135581You think this is bad, you should have seen how these people argued whether you should say "in Ukraine" or "on Ukraine" in Russian
>>65131966>exactly like how zigger doGiven that /chug/ were celebrating it for a week before reality came to light, in the spirit of /k/ - Yeah
