That means fuck ECOWAS as a tool of the oppressors also. Critical support for every coup in Africa, and for the rights of Africans to demand the French and US militaries leave their country.

Neocolonialism by Kwame Nkrumah.
How Europe Underdeveloped Africa by Walter Rodney.
Rethinking Ownership of Development in Africa by T.D. Harper-Shipman.

So again, you don’t support Africans taking their sovereignty, but you do support French citizens asking their government to give African countries sovereignty.

both have the same result, and if the former is the only option then fine, but the latter certainly results in less death and suffering than a violent coup might

Well, they’ve had 50 years to surrender their neo-colonies, you can’t fault Africans for getting tired of waiting and seizing their sovereignty themselves. Or you can, but you’d be an idiot.
