The Boys from the School of the Americas
Sweet coordinated moves in our Juntaland, West African Sahelian branch, among the Axes of Resistance!

Do you remember all the ⛈️Thunder & Lightning ⚡starting with the overthrow of the French poodle Bazum of resource-rich Niger late last summer (rapidly forgotten after October 07)?? The roars of the French peacock and ECOWAS about the inadmissibility of another Junta coup overturning west-built “Freeum & Demokracy” in “our Africa?”

Africa & AGOA
This is the program that keeps African countries tied to hegemon’s apron strings. Called Agoa, it gives them duty free access to US Market. That is why some do not even try and change the status quo vis a vis the US.
