Hmm, I'm having trouble understanding why you still think this is propaganda now that you've read the article.
I say this as someone who is a lot more interested in the Sahel than I am in US roles in geopolitics.
I posted it in good faith because I think it is a good article especially for people who are puzzled by the coup background now that Niger is in the Western news cycle for a change.
Can't please everyone though.
Thanks for taking the time to talk to me about it by the way.
