Our party has spoken out against supporting a war in Niger and has expressed support for whoever is in charge right now.
Unsurprisingly, the BUT PUTIN NIGER WAGNER IMPERIALISM comments quickly found their way towards the posts.
The media makes it out to be of great importance that our allies and the West intervene in Niger, when two weeks ago most people couldn’t locate Niger on a map if their life depended on it.
So, how important does your media think Niger is?
Canada/US media just nakedly calls out the fact that the uprising is a threat to western interests in the region and expects the reader to just take as a given that something must be done to protect them, which most agree with I assume.
Then there is the whole racist use of the word “junta”, which is blatantly only used to describe uprisings in non white countries.
This +trying to resuscitate the Islamic terrorism boogeyman to get people to care about it
