Niger and African independence

It is embarrassing to see how some people still believe that the abolition of slavery was intended to improve workers' living conditions, or that the independence of the colonies was intended to improve the lives of their native populations.

Slavery was abolished to exempt the employer from worrying about the fate of his workers. The slaves and their children needed at least a minimal level of care, because if they got sick or died there would be an economic loss. It was enough for the salaried worker to give him a pittance, and for him to make a living to support his family. The economic benefit is evident. And furthermore, it is morally less reprehensible.

When Western populations began to worry about the living conditions of the indigenous people of the colonies, the colonies stopped being profitable. To pay the same or slightly less in Niger than in France, it was not worth having a colony. It is better to grant independence to Niger (or Algeria or Rhodesia - the old name of Zimbabwe), install a government even more corrupt than those of the Europeans - which is difficult, but possible - and continue despoiling the country, without the moral qualms of the metropolitan government being responsible.

Responsibility is transferred from the metropolitan state organisation, in which citizens can demand accountability, to corporations, from whom no one demands accountability, because they simply refer critics to the puppet politicians of those supposedly independent countries.

Peaches and cream. Benefits all around.

The vast majority of African countries have been stuck in this regime since their “independence”. With puppet governments of Western corporations, and impoverished populations, working in conditions worse than those of classical slavery.

The clumsy excuse of defending the “constitutional regime” of Niger and its legitimate president are a smokescreen to hide this harsh reality from naive Western populations.

When the world was still monolithic and the US roamed freely, no one could get ahead. And strange and unpleasant things would happen to those who did. Tanzanian President John Magufuli was assassinated in March 2021 for opposing the globalist dictates of the fake pandemic. The previous year, the president of Burundi, Pierre Nkurunziza, had already been assassinated for the same reason. Years earlier, the case of Gaddafi in Libya was substantially similar. A dictator who improves the quality of life of his population, to the point of surpassing that of some European countries, and who does not comply with Western dictates, must be eliminated by any means and at any cost.

But now the world is now multipolar, and whoever wants to free himself from one tyrant only has to flirt with another in order to better his condition. This is what we do to lower our electricity and telephone bills. Neither tyrant is a philanthropist, but any kind of change allows the contract to be improved.

Therefore, it is natural that whoever loses their monopoly will resist. And that is what the US and its satellites (in this case France) are doing.

If they can, they will prevent the Nigerien population from improving their conditions. But it is difficult for them to do so, because the new businessmen whom the Nigeriens are flirting with has powerful arguments to guarantee the safety of their new clients. Their name is PMC Wagner. And they will probably defend the Nigeriens' new electricity contract tooth and nail. They will deny it to the French in order to have it themselves.

The colonial powers have rushed to move their minions into the area. Just as in the past, they recruit troops native  to the colonies to die for them. This is the role of the governments of Nigeria, Senegal and Sierra Leone, faithful bullies for the West.

Right now we should not rule out that these bullies suffer their own coups d'état, and the regional balance of power becomes even more skewed in favor of a new independence.

Alea iacta est.
