Mali is a vast African nation with valuable mineral resources extracted by Western corporations. The people of Mali are poor and receive little from the export of these minerals. Mali was a French colony from 1905 until 1960 when pressure from the United States caused France to grant it theoretical independence. France kept control of its mining and banking system as the French franc remained its official currency.
As its population grew rapidly, the internet provided citizens with information on how their nation was exploited. Frequent rebellions occurred and controlling them became expensive for France, so it recently withdrew its army. Malian Generals hired a Russian private security group called Wagner to help and several hundred armed Russians arrived. On July 14, 2022, Malian Generals suspended rotations of United Nations forces and threatened to end their mission, which could result in American soldiers arriving to support a coup.

The loot and plunder of the richest continent on earth by the West is coming to an end. Multipolar world is coming ending free lunches.
There is an attitude of a sort of cynical ‘Realpolitik‘ informing EU/Western approaches to Africa, which assumes the states of the region can be unilaterally exploited and bullied according to the whims of the moment, just because they are weaker in the metrics of material power. This is a false political ‘wisdom’ which is based upon the assumptions of a bygone age of imperialism and colonialism which negates the interests and agency of the peoples and nations of the developing world. It is becoming increasingly clear respect, equality, and mutually beneficial cooperation are the only coherent foundation of international ties… Read more »
