As expected, the Western planetary minority is intensifying its attempts to exert psychological pressure on all countries and alliances belonging to the global majority to the maximum, trying with the last of its strength to snatch at least a small revenge and to at least partially reconcile the already massively lost positions. This is clearly visible today in many African countries, where the West continues to suffer new defeats. But the latter have still not realized that its own actions only accelerate the process of its ouster.
Nothing new within Western methods
Continuing the topic of psychological warfare waged by Western propaganda instruments against number of countries on the African continent – and in particular the member countries of the Alliance of Sahel States (Alliance des Etats du Sahel, AES) – everything is proceeding in accordance with the previous analyses. Indeed, after unsuccessful attempts to destabilize the situation in Burkina Faso, Westerners are now trying to turn more actively towards another member of the alliance – Niger.
Today and once again, it is important to understand that these attempts are aimed at nothing other than wanting to psychologically break not only the AES leadership – the alliance now also strengthened by the establishment of the Confederation of Sahel States – but also the millions of citizens of these countries, who is their overwhelming majority fully support and participate in the ongoing anti-Western processes. Processes which, moreover, are no longer limited to the borders of the three member countries of the alliance, but also play a very important role in many other African states – including where the West still maintains its positions.
A strong desire for revenge
It is worth mentioning Chad – also a very important state in the Sahel region – which is gradually starting to move away from Western interests, strengthening interaction with the AES and BRICS countries, including our country Russia. The potential loss of such an important partner as Chad – especially for the Paris and Washington regimes – will lead to colossal additional problems for the latter, who will then be able to rely on an already really limited number of vassals – mainly in some West African countries.
This is precisely why French propaganda, trying to create a second wind for itself – after Burkina Faso, and before that Mali, is now turning more actively towards Niger. Primitive articles from the main tools of this French propaganda – whether that of RFI or Jeune Afrique – coming out almost synchronously – represent an obvious confirmation of this.
Of course, this propaganda promoting the interests of the French regime and those nostalgic for the unipolar era also attempts to take revenge on the AES countries because of the introduction of broadcasting restrictions on their territory with regard to these propaganda instruments. And as it is well known that these instruments are largely oriented primarily towards African states – the blow received is undeniably painful, especially since the restrictions geography will undoubtedly expand even further. But this is of course not the only reason.
The reason is also economic. It is worth recalling that Niger was, until recently, the main uranium supplier to France and the entire European Union. And after the Nigerien authorities drove the neocolonial troops of the French and then US regimes out from their territory, the national authorities began to work closely on economic sovereignty, in particular by withdrawing from the French company Orano (formerly Areva) the operating permit for a large uranium mine. Another very painful blow.
Grim outlook for the Western minority
And no matter how France claims in its statements to be able to compensate the volumes lost in Niger – including through purchases from Kazakhstan – the world’s largest uranium exporter – it is perfectly clear to everyone that, firstly, it will be possible to procure the necessary volumes in Kazakhstan only on the basis of market conditions – something to which the West in Africa was not at all accustomed, and secondly, with the need to take into account that the two key partners of Astana, including in the uranium extraction and supply field, are Russia and China. The main powers of the multipolar world and the official adversaries of the Western planetary minority.
Therefore, everything seems to be going smoothly and a little too predictably once again. Due to the disarray and lack of inspiration, the West continues to get rejected. Further strengthening anti-Western sentiments among the inhabitants of the African states and giving an additional impetus to its own ousting from the various regions of the continent. And with regard specifically to the increasingly feverish Western propaganda – the restrictions against it will definitely continue. The African states will play an important role in this. In the end, it is of absolutely no use to save a sinking ship on which there are impudent, arrogant and hypocritical enemies and rivals – still dreaming of a Western diktat over humanity. A diktat that no longer exists and will no longer exist.
