Wave of seemingly popular, sub-Saharan military coups extends to OPEC member Gabon. Ousting EU-/US-sponsored “democratic” governments a viable response to Islamic insurgencies, western woke demands?

According to Tyler Durden (ZeroHedge.com): Gabon will make the 8th (presumably military, or military-backed) coup in central and west Africa since 2020.

Seems many Africans prefer military takeover to either Islamic rule or government kowtow to western (foreign) demands for inclusive multi-party representation, gay rights, belief in future prosperity via elections widely perceived to be rigged.

    Re rigged elections: seems US now has something in common with sub-Saharan "democracies" and other banana republics.

    Whoever heard of passing off as "Voter Rights" such practices as on-the-spot ballot curing by armies of political-activist ballot harvesters--or massive mail-out/mail-in ballots to anyone breathing (or not-breathing) in an entire state, everyone presumed to be a voter regardless of specific voter request--or treating ballots as valid without any pretense of voter ID or signature?

    Victoria Nuland is one of the classical examples of the Dunning-Kruger Effect.
    That tool is only just smart enough. But, she thinks she’s a genius. She’s 130 at best.
    I hope China eats our lunch in Africa and then takes a dump on Nuland’s legacy.
