By next year, half of Africa will have openly aligned itself with Russia/China and kicked most of the west out and won't export resources anymore. This is a good con by the Russians. There are so many minerals and rare earth elements in those small shitty African republics its crazy. And they all owe China billions for roads and docks and ports.
South Africa's Malema says we are Putin, Putin is US a few minutes ago
I think you are correct but it might be more than 50% with one hell of a bloody religious war mixed in and spreading across the continent.

Well this doesn't sound like our Fort Benning military investment paid off at all.
"Brig. Gen. Moussa Salaou Barmou, the chief of Niger’s Special Operations Forces and one of the leaders of the unfolding coup in Niger, was trained by the U.S. military, The Intercept has confirmed. U.S.-trained military officers have taken part in 11 coups in West Africa since 2008.
“We have had a very long relationship with the United States,” Barmou said in 2021. “Being able to work together in this capacity is very good for Niger.” Just last month, Barmou met with Lt. Gen. Jonathan Braga, the head of U.S. Army Special Operations Command, at Air Base 201, a drone base in the Nigerien city of Agadez that serves as the lynchpin of an archipelago of U.S. outposts in West Africa.
On Wednesday, Barmou, who trained at Fort Benning, Georgia, and the National Defense University in Washington, joined a junta that ousted Mohamed Bazoum, Niger’s democratically elected president, according to Nigerien sources and a U.S. government official who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
A U.S. official tracking the coup, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, confirmed Barmou’s relationship with the U.S. military and said he was probably not alone. “I’m sure we will find out that others have been partners, have been involved in U.S. engagements,” he said of other members of the junta, noting that U.S. government agencies were looking into the matter."

"The United States also has a $110 million dollar military base in Niger.
So a quonset hut and a couple MRAPs?
AGADEZ, Niger — Officially, Base Aerienne 201, located in this town on the southern fringe of the Sahara desert, is not a U.S. military outpost. In reality, Air Base 201 — known locally as “Base Americaine” — is the linchpin of the U.S. military’s archipelago of bases in North and West Africa and a key part of America’s wide-ranging intelligence, surveillance, and security efforts in the region.
Built at a price tag of $110 million and maintained to the tune of $20 to $30 million each year, AB 201 serves as a Sahelian surveillance hub that’s home to Space Force personnel involved in high-tech satellite communications, Joint Special Operations Air Detachment facilities, and a fleet of drones — including armed MQ-9 Reapers — that scour the surrounding region day and night for terrorist activity. A high-security haven, Air Base 201 sits within a 25-kilometer “base security zone” and is protected by fences, barriers, upgraded air-conditioned guard towers with custom-made firing ports, and military working dogs.
The trappings of security can, however, be illusory. Late last year, in the shadow of this bastion of American techno-militarism, four men in a pickup truck carried out a daylight armed robbery of defense contractors from the base and drove off with roughly $40,000 in U.S. taxpayer money. U.S. Africa Command, or AFRICOM, did not report on or publicly acknowledge the theft from Australian-based Austability, a subcontractor apparently working with U.S. defense giant Amentum."

Front these jokers a billion cold hard American greenbacks along with some 40 year old weapons and promise them a market for their uranium and blood diamonds and they'll be singing Elvis songs and booking trips to Miami

Good article on why US production plummeted. The nail in the coffin was Fukushima in 2011 which caused Nuclear reactors to close down across the globe thus contributing to weaker demand.
Interestingly enough the Senate passed a bill today to increase domestic Uranium production. You think this is a coincidence?

Ibrahim Traoré used the Wagner Group to help with his coup last year. Which was the second coup in 2022.

This isn’t just Biden, it’s a rebuke of western colonization and exploitation of Africa for generations.
