VietPress USA: Africa

In case anyone forgot, Chad, an ECOWAS member state that shared a border with Nigeria, is currently under military dictatorship. The country is described as a hereditary dictatorship after the son of the former dictator took power in 2021 and suspended the constitution.

The Chadian dictator walts in and out of Nigeria and shakes hands with Western leaders with no one batting an eye. France, the West, and Ecowas don't really care about democracy and freedom in Niger. They just want a puppet government that will allow them continue extort the country.

Boomplay and tech companies

Opinion

Just recently reddit is facing lots of flack for putting money before users who make it what it is. Now, i used to use Boomplay a lot sometime back, earning points that i used back as tokens for subscription to keep ads out. It was good for finding stuff that literally was not on either Spotify or bandcamp, hell, I found lots of gems.

Sometimes traveling through Kenya, not everywhere has stable network so, just replaying recently played songs on boomplay reloads them from their cache effortlessly without the need for a network. That was perfect. Yesterday i logged in after not using it for a while and found some albums with previously no restrictions hidden behind "watch, to, play" ads, fine, I say I'll then redeem the points to override. They had been stripped to zero. Lol. I'm back to Spotify without those albums, and having to download songs which is kinda lame af.

My point is, if these companies really want the money, instead of ruining a ux people are used to, why not incorporate their bs beforehand, so that there's nothing to ruin down the line? Boomplay will definitely see a downsurge instead

Why haven't Mali and Burkina Faso challenged the Franc CFA yet ?

African Discussion 🎙️

Given the hostility towards France, the withdrawal of French troops stationned there, and the general will to change the relation with their former coloniser, I'm surprised I have heard nothing about the Franc CFA yet. Or maybe those governments have commented on the subject and I missed it ?

Rwandan Influence in CAR

African Discussion 🎙️

Why is no one talking about the Rwandan influence in the CAR? I've seen dozens of articles and videos talking about the wagner influence, but how deep is the rwandan? what does their influence constitute for the presidency? how involved are they in the fight against the rebel? resource exploitation?
