I hate Orwell, but man was right about the doublespeak thing.

western MSM will say "democracy" when they're talking about western leaning dictatorships, and "dictatorship" when they're talking about non-western democracies.

The only "democracy" in French West Africa is what has been built by its local inhabitants, not what the white man has forced upon them. Full solidarity with the coups, freedom comes from the barrel of a gun.
