Another coup in Africa apparently
Another coup in Africa apparently
This time in Gabon. I don't know much at all about Gabon's politics but from doing some quick reading it appears to be yet another ousting of a French puppet just like in Niger.

I love how Reuters makes sure that people know it's oil rich right away otherwise nobody would care https://www.reuters.com/world/africa/gabonese-military-officers-announce-they-have-seized-power-2023-08-30/

It is too early to make an informed analysis of what happened, why and what the prospects going forward are, we need to wait a few days for the dust to settle, but for what it is worth there are already videos out of masses of people celebrating in the streets similar to what we saw in Niger.

Yeah, not much info. Not sure if there is more in French but as of now we don’t know the specifics of the coup. Best to keep an eye out for further specifics

This is becoming a pattern in African states, which were puppets of the French government.

This is so excellent! Already Niger is safer because now the US/French have twice as much enemies to deal with, and twice as little income! The more these coups happen the less and less the Empire can do! We are witnessing something historical!

Dude France is going to shit right now and I am here for it
We'll see the real nature of the French when the energy shortages come. Will they demand socialism or will they beg the state to do imperialism?
Unfortunately, I believe that the bourgeoisie goes for the second option
I expect the genocidal swine to invade. The upside is that the adventurism in Nazi Europe has whittled down NATO's stock, and while this is basically an in for the military-industrial complex to really start cranking out replacements to line their pockets, I don't have faith in the speed of logistics to deliver these arms in time for France to do an imperialism.
Popcorn time!
