A French military convoy heading to Mali on Saturday ran into more trouble in a town in Niger after being delayed for more than a week by protests in Burkina Faso, with the local mayor reporting three deaths and 18 wounded.

The supply convoy, which arrived in Africa in Ivory Coast last week, had crossed Burkina Faso and on Friday entered Niger on its way to central Mali.

Its destination is a base at Gao, a hub of France’s Barkhane operation, which is shoring up allies in the Sahel region in the fight against armed groups that began in northern Mali nearly a decade ago.

But clashes reportedly broke out at Tera in western Niger on Saturday which the mayor said left “three people dead and 18 wounded”, including four who had to be evacuated for treatment in the capital Niamey, 200km (120 miles) away.

F*** the French military man why can't we stop f***ing s*** up in Africa

This story is giving me some hope though, they're definitely losing influence in the region and will no longer be the power they are in Africa pretty soon

Imperialism never ended

Yeah u could even say it's stronger than before just in a more insidious way

God damn French

Don't worry China will liberate Africa.

The BRI is imperialism now

You havent watched Wolf Warrior 2? Got mad Rambo 3 vibes.

The BRI is the closest thing to genuine foreign investment to any country. People boogie-manning China like it’s trying to get them all in debt to max their own profits. China is already an economic behemoth without the BRI. They’ve probably lost more money then gained with CPEC/BRI, but they’ve certainly improved diplomatic ties and their global image as THE next economic hegemony.

They lost so much money these past couple of years. It's heart breaking.

Notice how it's really only Western liberals who do this lmao

People who are actually from these countries know that Chinese investments are way less predatory than those from the West, especially US

That was a damn "Chinese saviour" movie, smh..

bro who the f*** cares

like y'all care so much about how media represents us instead of legit material gains africa is seeing, why are americans so f***ing re/tarded

Nigga, who tf are you so angry at?

I commented as a martial arts movie fan who was disappointed the sequel wasn't as good as the original.

If you don't shut your sensitive ass up...

Of all ex-colonial empires France is the one who seems to still be at it the most

I mean the idea that China already being huge means it can never have perverse aims in resource rich countries isn't much of an argument. You can argue thr BRI isn't unethical or imperialistic but that's not the way to do it
