Africa on the Rise as more military coup sweep across the contents

[Pablo-wood]

Even though most people do not fancy a military government but with the way the civilians African governments has sold Africa and turned the continent into a begging place where foreign interest is what is protected not African interest the only way out of this mess that the civilians has put Africa is through military intervention we can see what much celebrated captain traore is doing in Burkina feso

We won't blame the foreigners who came to make fortune out of African nations. It's the greedy leaders who are to be blamed. We had the right to say no to some bargains and proposals but we were keen towards immediate benefits not minding what the future held.

The new revolution is making wave across most African countries but the only foreign countries that will get affected are those who have leveraged on the greed of African leaders, the likes of France but those on mutual grounds will have nothing to lose.

In those days, development was far from the Africans, for change to come we traded our treasure for what we think was developed we can indirectly say we were giving the wrong things in return of our treasures not knowing what we have is what is worth it.

The moral of lesson here is, we don't value what we have. Till date we still don't value our resources, our production, our services which is why one way or another we will always be deceived.

You know what? People in Africa do not care much again. Take a look at the military coup that happened in 4 years on the continent, they are far better than the democratically elected government in performance. So what are we talking about? If another coup happened today in Africa, people would certainly look away, it is the world's government that would be concerned about that.

Corruption and bad leadership are at their peak on the continent in the name of Democracy, which is the Western doctrine.

You talk about Africa as if it was a single country? What coup? There have been many shake ups on this territory in the recent years. As far as performance goes, the corruption is very widespread in both types of governing. Military or democratically elected government so that is what is slowing Africa down. There is one difference between the two. If you are lucky, you may get someone smart who knows how to do things as a military leader. As far as elections goes, bigger scammers are better able to manipulate the population to vote for them. They promise things that are next to impossible, lie and cheat all the time. Serious politicians with good ideas that take time to develop and provide benefits are less likely to win.

I don't even know which side you are on anymore, as you said against military and elected officials both. Well, for better clarity of my earlier post, let me break it down in other words.

For me, Democracy would have been better, but with the situation of things, Africa is not ready (both the citizens and the government). Now, since it's the government we are talking about, I will stick to it. Those leaders are stealing big time in the name of Democracy, and more offices are being created to steal that money (national, local assemblies etc). This is why I don't care if the Military is ruling, after all, the Military rulers in West Africa are arguably the most performing now, far better than their democratically elected counterparts.

I love Democracy, but it's not working in Africa, and even if I support Democracy, the power of the President on the continent where the System is still not working is too powerful because they don't hold them accountable, everybody fears the President and the President also truly intimidate with the position in the name of Democracy, and some rule with an iron fist, so what's the point?

My country, Nigeria, for example, is not ripe for the Presidency. The prime minister is enough, so that they will not be intoxicated by excesses power where everyone, including the judiciary is afraid and has been compromised.

It seems that there is a wind Blowing across the continent of Africa as there has been a recent shift in interest and international diplomacy across the continent it may not be as plan but African have started taking their destinies into their hands there has been about seven military coup in the last three years in the continent and the latest is coming from Ivory cost though no official statement has been made but the military has taken over the streets of the country.

Even though most people do not fancy a military government but with the way the civilians African governments has sold Africa and turned the continent into a begging place where foreign interest is what is protected not African interest the only way out of this mess that the civilians has put Africa is through military intervention we can see what much celebrated captain traore is doing in Burkina feso

Foreign intervention and dishonest leadership have people bored. Although military coups are not perfect many people clearly regard them as their only choice when democracy fails to serve the people. I simply hope that any modifications will really benefit the people rather than only provide another means of control.

Generally no nation would stop leveraging on another country that allows them to take resources and material to sell or consume. It's profits and everyone wants to gain. However, African leaders had no choice because they also wanted to benefit. Things could get dangerous when the honey overflows. Even the most trusted person can lie just to garner fortunes and properties.

I came across an article about colonialists by a very popular State Duma deputy, published three days ago under the headline "Colonialists must pay." I will mark in italics the translation of some quotes from the article. For example, "... from 1765 to 1938 Britain has withdrawn about $45 trillion from India in terms of today's money."
Or "In 1891-1906, colonization brought Leopold II, an income of $1.1 billion" - This is about the king of Belgium and the Congo country. In the end, the author suggests setting up an international tribunal against the colonialists. Of course, if it does happen, it won't happen very soon, but such ideas about collecting from the colonialists are appearing more and more often.

I am not sure about the correctness of this news but recently came across a news related to Burkina Faso where a military leader ruling the country and also bringing it into the path of financial independence.

https://www.africanews.com/2025/02/21/burkina-fasos-military-leader-focuses-on-economic-autonomy/

If that's what you are referring to, it's great for Africa. It is the most natural resources rich continent but Europe has been stealing from them since a long time. If all countries are sweeping out the western nations out of their ground, it's great for them.

For Africa Countries to become fully economically independent they must focus on disassociating themselves with the west and colonial masters which is still exploiting African after decades of so called independence and traore is one name that is bringing back that to reality because he is really fighting for the economic liberation of his people which has become an inspiration to other countries who has taken encouragement from his act of bravery

I have seen those developments but the future of those countries look so unclear. Moving from democracy to military rule may look like look good based on the name given to it by the benefactor but a time may come when they will be power drunk and wouldn't want to transition to democracy from military junta which they promised. This will simply lead to anarchy and chaos. Secondly, moving from western influence to that of Russia is not something I will call victory yet because there is still the influence of external powers which makes the entire thing unclear.

I have not put much attention to Burkina Faso update but there was one video that caught my attention on X. This guy Ibrahim Taore the suppose leader that lead the coup to remove the presidency shared some grinding machine and I was like wait a minute. I was devasted and shock by the materials he share, too low quality. There has been a campaign to make the country self producing country but you are sharing imported item and a low quality for that matter.

The way they media are trying to push them is annoying, they are projecting what they are not and that is like suffering and smiling. If the democracy has abused for years, there is nothing bad in taking away the government from the people that has been looting the country dry and also trying not to dependent on west that steal their natural countries but why have double standard by having relationship with Russia, you don't like France but you like Russia, double standard leadership.

This proposal is not new. In fact, the first to call for compensation for Africa's colonial era was Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, the former Libyan leader before his regime was brutally overthrown and liquidated in 2011. Gaddafi presented his proposal in a speech he delivered to the United Nations General Assembly, which included compensating Africa with $777 trillion and granting the African Union a permanent seat on the Security Council. Gaddafi's speech to the General Assembly was in 2009 and is available in full on YouTube.

That is true probably for all of the nations in the world, no nation should have a "president", like anyone who has more power. We should have congress or anything like that, which is elected, and then we should have a "speaker" type of role, a prime minister, someone who doesn't have any excess power than others, and just be able to represent country.

Basically a model for the other nations, a talkative person, someone who can chat well and nice, that's it. Giving someone powers, like USA does, which president can use executive order to get things done, isn't really a nice idea and should be staying away from that as much as we can. Would make more sense, and should be the way to move further with all of the governments in the world.
