I love how Reuters makes sure that people know it's oil rich right away otherwise nobody would care https://www.reuters.com/world/africa/gabonese-military-officers-announce-they-have-seized-power-2023-08-30/

This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.
This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.
We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.
Rules:
- No bigotry, anti-communism, pro-imperialism or ultra-leftism (anti-AES)
- We support indigenous liberation as the primary contradiction in settler colonies like the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Israel
- If you post an archived link (excluding archive.org), include the URL of the original article as well
- Unless it's an obvious shitpost, include relevant sources
- For articles behind paywalls, try to include the text in the post
- Mark all posts containing NSFW images as NSFW (including things like Nazi imagery)
It is too early to make an informed analysis of what happened, why and what the prospects going forward are, we need to wait a few days for the dust to settle, but for what it is worth there are already videos out of masses of people celebrating in the streets similar to what we saw in Niger.

This is becoming a pattern in African states, which were puppets of the French government.
Inshaallah Fr*nce will one day soon loose all total control of african countries
This is so excellent! Already Niger is safer because now the US/French have twice as much enemies to deal with, and twice as little income! The more these coups happen the less and less the Empire can do! We are witnessing something historical!
