WILL BOKO HARAM ATTACKS INTENSIFY IN CAMEROON AND NIGER UNDER THE PRESIDENCY OF TINUBU?
Elected president of Nigeria on March 1, on March 22, President Tinubu made a private visit to France, he will return there in mid-May, then on June 22, 2023, as part of the summit for a new global financial pact. The president of Africa’s largest economy is very close to France, like Gudluck Jonathan who unfortunately played a chaotic role in the fight against terrorism in Lake Chad.
In his time, Gudluck Jonathan had abandoned the northeast of Nigeria to the Boko Haram terrorists who had installed there a sort of focal point of the Islamic state. Elected president of Nigeria, Tinubu will lead this country with a sword of Damocles, his criminal record from the USA where he is accused of drug trafficking and money laundering. Will he be a free and honest leader?
Since the arrival of Macron, France, which spares no effort to maintain its influence in its backyard, is now favored by coups d’état, driven out of countries that yesterday were considered a private preserve. Burkina Faso, Mali, today Niger, the West chose to react by proxy by relying on Nigeria’s capacity to mobilize ECOWAS military forces to intervene first in Niger, then in Mali, then in Burkina Faso.
Tinubu’s warlike ambitions quickly faced fierce opposition from Nigeria’s parliament. While all countries prey to terrorism are increasing geopolitical alliances with various strategic security partners, on the sidelines of the 78th United Nations General Assembly, Tinubu preferred to seek help from the UN in the fight against Boko Haram. The UN and its forces expelled from the CAR yesterday today from Mali and the DRC.
This attitude of Tinubu suggests that Nigeria would be the new Trojan horse of the imperialists in Sub-Saharan Africa and mainly in the zone of influence of France. Which would undoubtedly be the reason why the continent’s largest economy was sidelined to the detriment of Egypt and Ethiopia after their requests for membership within BRICS.
“As President Jacques Chirac remarked in 2008, “without Africa, France would slide towards the rank of Third World power.” This perspective was reaffirmed in a 2013 French Senate report, Africa is our future. Consequently, the mere existence of anti-imperialist governments anywhere in the region is intolerable for Paris. »: The Gayzone
