Trump’s Nigeria Plan: From Protecting Christians to Guarding Nigeria 🇳🇬 Crude Oil Fields | Africa
Trump’s Nigeria Plan: From Protecting Christians to Guarding Nigeria 🇳🇬 Crude Oil Fields | Africa Kwabena Ofori Osei 25 Views • 1 month ago

Watch this video as Firstpost examines the growing U.S. security footprint in Nigeria and asks whether Donald Trump’s campaign over Christian persecution is becoming connected to a much larger strategic interest: oil. American-made Aerosonde drones supplied by Textron Systems are now being deployed by Nigerian security company Tantita to monitor pipelines and offshore energy assets in the Niger Delta. The development comes as Nigeria’s crude production reaches its highest level in six years. For years, U.S. military cooperation with Nigeria focused largely on fighting Boko Haram and Islamic State militants. But Washington’s pressure over religious freedom, counterterrorism operations, military training and new surveillance technology is now intersecting with Nigeria’s critical energy infrastructure. Does this prove that oil was behind America’s religious freedom campaign? No. But the growing overlap raises a bigger geopolitical question about Washington’s interests in Africa’s largest oil producer. Alyson Le Grange tells you more on Firstpost Africa.

The 14 Countries Still Under The Hostage Of France's Colonial Tax Rule.
The 14 Countries Still Under The Hostage Of France's Colonial Tax Rule. Kwabena Ofori Osei 47 Views • 2 years ago

The 14 Countries Still Under French Grip

African leaders often face accusations of corruption and perceived alignment with Western interests, which can be attributed to a compelling reason. These leaders find themselves in a delicate position, driven by concerns about their personal safety and the stability of their nations. Their actions, seeking powerful nations' support, stem from a desire for protection against the risk of coups or threats.

However, this quest for security sometimes comes at a cost. Western powers, in exchange for backing, may expect these leaders to prioritize external interests over serving their own people or their nation's best interests. Former French President Jacques Chirac's declaration in March 2008 rings with a sobering truth: "France's significance could diminish to that of a third-tier power without Africa."

Chirac's predecessor, François Mitterand, foresaw this perspective as far back as 1957 when he prophesied, "The absence of Africa could render France's historical narrative incomplete in the 21st century."

Under a binding colonial pact enforced by France, 14 African nations find themselves compelled to deposit a staggering 50% of their foreign reserves into the French central bank, all under the control of the French Minister of Finance. Astonishingly, as of 2014, Togo and approximately 13 other African countries continue to shoulder the burden of colonial debt payments to France. The repercussions of dissent are grim; leaders who dare to resist face dire consequences, often falling victim to assassination or facing destabilizing coups.

In a troubling twist, those who comply with France's demands are rewarded with a luxurious lifestyle, supported by the French government. This stark contrast paints a harrowing picture of disparity, as the people of these nations grapple with extreme poverty and despair. The weight of this reality underscores the profound imbalance in the relationship between these African nations and France, raising crucial questions about sovereignty, economic justice, and the future of these countries as they strive for genuine progress and empowerment Let us take a closer look at these 14 African countries
