This is something not talked about enough in the international community, and now is a good time to talk about it because Europe and America are coming together again to kill another African leader.
This is how the practice goes: Africa has a lot of natural resources and when the Europeans conquered Africa they had easy and free access to these natural resources. With time after a lot of fighting and crisis the Europeans decided to leave Africa and end their rule of Africa.
But when they left they still had sick deals with the African governments that enabled them to continue taking these resources in return for pennies.
It can be said that modern civilization has left the practice of conquering lands and taking them simply because you are stronger like the Roman Empire did, like Alexander the Great, like Genghis Khan, like the great West African Empires of old, etc.
But modern civilization didn't leave this conquest lifestyle just for nothing. The Europeans were the last ones to conquer and have a strong hold onost of the world and when they were leaving the lifestyle behind for humanity to move forward they took a bribe to leave it.
And the bribe is that they'll keep getting the benefits as if they were still your conquerors. The bribe is they'll still be taking the resources of their former vanquished and paying their former vanquish a fraction of the worth of these resources.
Over the years once an African leader rises and decides not to continue with the unfavorable arrangement the Europeans simply kill him and install a new leader who would cooperate with them.
We have no idea the exact amount of African leaders Europe has killed for this reason but it's certainly not less than 90% of all the African leaders that have been killed from around 1960 to date.
Some of them weren't only killed because they were refusing these unfavorable deals, some were also killed because they were Socialists/Communists, the USA fought a huge was against Socialism in the last century and they fought really dirty.
The killing of Muammar Gaddafi in 2011 is the greatest example to explain what I'm talking about here. The killing of Gaddafi doesn't only show how committed Europe and America is to killing African leaders who don't want to play ball but also shows how Europe and America are committed to keeping Africa poor.
Sending aids and funding to Africa is usually in return for favourable perception and African favours, and it might make you think they have African interest at heart, but that is not the case. They make moves on a daily basis to keep Africa poor and dependent by hook or crook. Just take a look at the Gaddafi case:
Gaddafi was the ruler of Libya, and Libya was very prosperous during his reign with free health care, access to food, etc.
The truth is Gaddafi was a dictator and was found to be involved in terrorism and multiple human rights violations, but this was not why the US killed him. It was when he became serious about creating an African currency that would be backed by African natural resources and abandon the USD that NATO (Europe and USA) decided it was his time to go.
This was going to be a threat to the USD and European currencies and they couldn't have that.
Gaddafi had a huge project built to carry out irrigation inside Libya and help them grow food because Libya grappled with desertification. When NATO attacked Libya and killed Gaddafi, they made sure they bombed this project in order to put an end to the food supply it was helping Libya with.
Let's say Gaddafi was bad and NATO came to help the people of Libya by eliminating him, what did bombing this project have to do with any of that? Why destroy the irrigation system that help the country grow food? The project was not even in the way of the guns/bombs and Gaddafi.
It is simple, they have to keep Libya poor, keeping Africa poor and not thriving is the mission taken most seriously by the Europe and America, and every chance they get they do what they have to.
Now, in the West African country called Burkina Faso a new leader has arisen, Ibrahim Traore he carried out a coup and took over the government and has driven the French away from his country and refused to let them mine gold and other resources. HE IS BAD FOR BUSINESS, and now Europe and America are coming together to plot his death.
They're starting by tarnishing his image in the media. The next move would most likely be stirring crisis in Burkina Faso and using the crisis as an excuse to enter and terminate Traore. A number of assassination attempts and counter coups have failed already so they're getting desperate.
US General Michael Langley gave a report at a Senate hearing accusing Traore of some evils, that is the start.
