The Boys from the School of the Americas
Sweet coordinated moves in our Juntaland, West African Sahelian branch, among the Axes of Resistance!
Little noticed, just after Niger officially kicked out US troops (turning on the ticking clock, as with Frenchie earlier), and right after Russian advance troops arrived in town, China swooped in to provide sanctions-busting liquidity and lucrative deals. This effectively seals… Continue reading

The Sahel’s ‘Axis of Resistance’
The Axis of Resistance in the Sahel is a multipolar counterpart of the Axis of Resistance in West Asia. Everyone needs to keep the focus on Resistance across the spectrum. A long and winding road – but we will prevail.

Lessons in Niger for the Ukraine
The broken relationship between the United States and Niger reveals U.S. grand strategy as well as policy towards Russia. The policy failed to isolate Russia in the Global South. The denial of Niger’s right to choose its own partners uncovers the lie behind America’s stated objectives in Ukraine.

Niger – Military Coup – More than Meets the Eye: Wagner – Niger – Washington – What’s the Connection?
With thanks to Peter Koenig, our writer
There were several military coups in West Africa lately. Mostly in former French colonies, and in many ways “neo-colonies” of France, that do arguably more harm to the Sahel countries than the more than 300 years of French “on-the-ground” colonies, or enslavement. Though, this latter crime is not to… Continue reading
