In 2023, Niger became the latest country in the Sahel region of northwest Africa to experience a military coup.
Since Mali’s armed takeover in 2020, several neighbouring countries have seen similar military coups.
Now, those leaders are joining forces and reshaping the region.
Sky’s Yousra Elbagir explains how the region has found itself at the heart of geopolitical competition.

THIS ARE TRUE AFRICAN LEADERS!
Democracy is a big Scam, a strategy to make those who are oppressed and sabotaged to falsely imagine that they have power to choose leadership. That leadership will work for them, it's a big blind lie. The so-called Western Democracy in Africa is a strategy to continue controlling African Leaders through the Opposition. Power is auctioned at the altar of Democracy, Demoncracy, Fakedocracy or Moneydocracy. Who ever has huge resources and powerful Godfathers from the Western World is usually the one who will win or will be rigged in. Otherwise in democracy if one is not a puppet to the Western World powers, who pull the levers of control through their Embassies, IMF, World Bank, Non Gorvenmental Organizations and their armies stationed all over Africa, then they will be overturned. It happened in Ghana, Nigeria, Iran, Chile, Equador, Ukraine and many other countries. Which is this democracy that we are blindly made to to glorify?
Democracy is a huge Scam in fact it's a Criminal form of government. Capitalism cannot survive without Democracy and Democracy cannot survive without Corruption!
Imagine calling our noble leaders dictators and western country hiding behind democracy to rule and disabilize Africa.
Mere deception
Realities, indeed.
They are freedom fighters who don’t like colonizers, calling them dictators shows that the West is still racist in all its old ways, nothing has changed from the West and is disgusting
Dictators is the only way, democracy going crazy
FREE AFRICA FROM THE WEST
FREE WEST AFRICA FROM THE WEST
