Personally I think the US will try to intervene in the Sahel some time within the next two years. They've been setting up a millitary presence on Nigeria, and the AES threatens to lead by good example if left untouched.

Personally, I think the next socialist revolution or emergence of a socialist state will happen somewhere in Africa. My top guesses are eitheir from the Sahel or a country from East Africa, perhaps Kenya.

However I think this war has been a massive blow to the empire. Just not the one that ends its military interventions against soverign states. I think they'll attempt one more.

Kenya is a lost cause. The Sahel--if not suppressed by ECOWAS and Nigeria, may become true socialist states.

But like you said

... the US will try to intervene in the Sahel ...

The US has been increasing their military presence in W.Africa, and their most used tools (terrorists) are getting louder and braver as the days pass.

Don't forget France's interests in all of that.

The French are at the helm. They, the US, and the Nigerian government are working together.

And let's no forget the Ukrainian presence in Africa

Ukraine has been aiding the terrorist effort since 2015. My hatred of that nation is at the same level as my hate towards the US Military Industrial Complex.
