I hope that the AES can be a bastion of anti-imperialism and prosperity on the African continent, and that it eventually grows into a United African Federation.

Sankara was extremely accomplished for the relatively short time he had in power, his biggest mistake was underestimating the imperialists, which it seems Traoré has learned from.

I personally believe that the Sahel states will become a much larger player within the anti-imperialist movement then anyone expects. Within a decade I believe people in the west will be blindsided by their rise, similar to China the last two decades.

They need to get a defence alliance with China or something ASAP cuz if they arent careful the US will just invade with the way things are going.

The US is already funding terrorism against them

Is there a region of the world where America isnt funding terrorism?

I was going to say the US itself but the cops probably count

they're even terrorizing the animals in Antarctica through global warming
