MODERATORS
The people should be allowed to govern themselves I agree but it would be really naive to think that's what's happening here.
For starters, the west isn't "out". Both the US and France still have boots on the ground in Niger.
International mineral exploitation companies are still operating in the Sahel.
Non-African mercenaries now have a strong presence in the Sahel as enforcers.
