Phraences:


A coup has taken place in an ECOWAS country and a democratically elected president has been overthrown and is being held in confinement. Whether they were paying for electricity does not matter. ECOWAS and Nigeria cannot just seat and fold their hands.
...

When Russia annexed Crimea without firing a shot, the Ukrainian government began to impose sanctions against Crimea.
The North Crimean Fresh Water Channel was blocked (water blockade), electricity from Ukraine stopped being supplied to Crimea, a food and transport blockade (cargo transportation) was declared, financial sanctions were imposed: Ukraine stopped paying pensions to residents of Crimea, servicing bank accounts, and so on.

And at the same time, Ukraine declared that it loves the people of Crimea very much, that Crimea is Ukrainian territory, that Crimea should return to compliance with the laws.

The same thing happened in the Donbas.

don't you think this is a very strange logic? To turn the lives of ordinary people into hell and assume that they will remember their love for democracy and want to return?
For Crimea and Donbass, the Ukrainian sanctions had a completely opposite effect. Even those who voted against the entry of Crimea into Russia hated Ukraine to death.

Ecowas has imposed sanctions against whom? Against the conspirators?
No.
ECOWAS and the Nigerian Government are punishing ordinary people who cannot influence the situation.
This is the logic of white colonialists who are used to using slaves on the plantation - beat a stubborn slave to a pulp with a whip and he will love you, master.

Moreover, sanctions punish residents not only of Niger, but also residents of Nigeria.

And at the same time , some argue: This is because Niger insulted the great god Democracy. Tell me, does democracy exist for people or do people exist for democracy?
It's terrible how postcolonial countries in Africa and Latin America regularly kill each other every time there is an election in the country. Democratic.Or a military dictatorship.

Why does no one who is used to making human sacrifices to Democracy in these countries come up with a simple thing: there are no such democratic rules in Western countries. This form of democracy was deliberately imposed by the white colonialists on their former colonies in order to keep them under control forever.

In the 90s, too, the Americans imposed such a "democratic" constitution on Russia. Thank God, Yeltsin shot the parliament with tanks in 1993 and the country's Constitution was immediately changed.

Russians were saved by the fact that they have a lot of experience of their own statehood, they quickly realized how dangerous democracy is "for export"

And Africa..

There is such a thing as a cargo cult. Read what it is.
A cargo cult has been imposed on Africa in relation to democracy.

And many countries in Africa live in endless hell because of this.

cool We ain't called the Giant of Africa for no reason.

I dedicate “Basquiat” by Asake to my beloved Nigeria. Great jam!

Bro, you are celebrating nonsense. Nigeria has a joint agreement with Niger to provide electricity in exchange that the upstream neighbor will not obstruct the flow of water to the country’s hydroelectric dams in Jebba, Kainji, Niger State. This will definitely affect power supply in most of the states in Nigeria, brother.
