"The country invaded by Russia will never recover" - the field commander of an illegal armed group in Africa

Russia's activity in Africa does not carry charity, all its actions are aimed at achieving their own goals. Russian influence in Africa is growing, the United States is decreasing, and this does not benefit African countries, writes the author of an article for the American edition of War on the Rocks John Lechner.

According to the author, Russia is playing a destructive role in Africa, and the United States must resist this country. To do this more effectively, Washington needs to build its work with the citizens of countries, and not with their elites, often associated with the Kremlin.

As an example, the author cites the situation in the Central African Republic (CAR), where, after the departure of the French and the United States, Russia took a stable position, allegedly sending mercenaries from Wagner PMCs under the guise of instructors. Russian mercenaries help elites hold on to power, guard the president, train the army, and in return receive mining concessions.

The Russian-backed CAR authorities are fighting armed groups operating in rural areas that are not only against the authorities, but also against Russia. As one of the field commanders of the illegal armed group 3R (banned organization) Sembe Bobo said: "We know that the Russians will destroy everything before they leave. The country invaded by Russia will never recover."

The United States cannot sit on two chairs opposing Russia and fighting jihadist insurgencies. To defeat Moscow, Washington needs to make "very inconvenient" policy adjustments and rely on the rebels. The US must sacrifice short-term stability to build democracy. It is in Washington's long-term interests, the author sums up.

Comments

[Anar]

It would be more correct that the country which was invaded by one of the world powers will take a long time to recover (Perhaps the generation in which the time of the invasion took place will not take this restoration away, but in terms of human life this is no time)

[Anachoret]

is not the point, the journalist openly declares the need for the United States to support anti-government terrorist organizations "for the sake of building democracy")
only at some point the world began to see clearly that the "good American pilgrims of democracy to the whole world" are not good)

[Shurik70]

Everything is as usual.
The US is going to "destroy" another country by plunging it into a civil war.
They are also no strangers to "substantiating" the need for this by the wishes of local terrorists.

[Peak]

I do not sell or advertise.

Just watch the latest film about the events in the Central African Republic, "Wagners", to understand what's what, and why the "partners" panicked so much.

I wonder what, someone expected that American author from the American magazine with the eloquent title "WAR" write something else?

[krot]

Didn't understand something, the USA in Africa all these years was engaged in charity work, defeated hunger and begging? Or minerals were pumped out and pumped out of the black continent, maybe all the same! The article is ordered. And where Russia is, there is creation!

[Disant]

And, like a texture, it's a complete mess

but what about the Bondarchuk moments with leaving the plane immediately before the wind. and the rescued black woman "for the homeland" is worth a lot - these are the ones that should be placed on any "African" throne.

Thank you for letting me discover a good movie. Wish he had English subtitles. So I couldn't keep track of everything. The only drawback, when opponents speak French, they had to put subtitles in Russian or dub them. In the background, I heard both French and Russian.

Exactly! And support terrorists for the triumph of democracy? In my opinion, this is an oxymoron.

[Alex777]

The US must sacrifice short-term stability to build democracy.

So when did they act differently?
Maybe in Iraq? Afghanistan? Libya? Syria?
Egypt miraculously survived ...

[Mikhail3]

Well, hardly a miracle) Egypt clearly has a certain method of organization, besides all this burned-out theater of democracy. Even two billion dollars in annual bribes to the Egyptian military, which the United States sends them like clockwork, did not help instill American dominance there. Mursi was kicked out like a cork from a bottle. Egyptians know something)

[Alex777]

Egypt clearly has some method of organizing besides this whole burned-out theater of democracy.

There is. A military coup is called.

[Mikhail3]

Yes? Have you read my comment, or hastened to "answer"? The US pays two lard to the Egyptian military every year. And nevertheless, the Egyptians, the very military, retained almost complete independence. And for some reason the United States continues to pay. Have you tried thinking sometimes? A very entertaining process for those who know how ...

[Alex777]

Have you tried thinking sometimes?

Wife offended?

[Mikhail3]

A short, meaningless comment, anyhow not to be silent - your strong point?

[Alex777]

I myself try not to go overboard and do not advise others.

[Mikhail3]

You assumed I had a wife. That is, they tried to interfere in my family life. Is this not going personal? And threats, too, how cute. What is the meaning of your empty "answers" that carry neither information nor explanations? Are they paying for this emptiness, or what?

[Alex777]

Ignore me and don't worry about anything.
I'll do the same. Good luck!

jihadists cry that russians are offending them? means everything is being done right-good terrorist-dead terrorist

Somewhere out there, 007 and "quiet Americans" roam nearby and carry Anglo-Saxon democracy, not without reason that the country is one of the poorest in the world. And this Sembe Bobo, in normal language, is the leader of an armed gang

[Akuzenka]

According to the author, Russia is playing a destructive role in Africa, and the United States must resist this country.

Yes, the journalist is right, 100 times right. It is also true that the United States is playing a destructive role in the Americas and Russia must oppose that country.

[Pravodel]

It would be more correct if the country was invaded by one of the world powers.

Better: the country invaded by the USA, France, Italy, England, etc. - the most enlightened, the most democratic, the most, the most, the most ..., will never recover.
Here is an example: Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan

[molotkov60mkpu]

It would be more correct that a country invaded by one of the world powers will recover for a long time (Perhaps the generation in whose time there was an invasion will not see this restoration, but in the standards of human life it will never be)

Why should they be afraid to be grateful to them? What did they not make their colony, as Miklouho-Maclay insisted in his appeals to Alexander III? By the way, he also proposed to England to establish a protectorate, asking for the position of a consultant and ... foreign minister under the colonial British administration.

Why should they be afraid to be grateful to them? What did they not make their colony, as Miklouho-Maclay insisted in his appeals to Alexander III?

Read it!
Nikolay Miklouho-Maclay in the mythology and culture of the Papuans

A.V. Tutorsky singled out three images of Miklouho-Maclay in the mythology of the Papuans. In the legends recorded at the beginning of the 1940th century, he acted as a classic cultural hero: he stopped wars, gave iron axes, turned tribes to agriculture and encouraged the islanders to move to the mainland. By the 1950s-2010s, Maclay was associated with a cargo cult: now he presented the Papuans with a flag as a sign of a covenant with higher powers, talked about the independence of the Papuans from colonialism, and gave them food and European goods, including canned food, salt and rice. In the texts of the beginning of the 1st century, recorded by the Russian MAE expedition in 1871, Maclay was the recipient of the magical knowledge of the aborigines: this image justified the need for cooperation with Europeans. The socio-economic basis of this myth is well understood by the natives [2017]. From the beginning of the XNUMXth century, the legends about Maclay gradually penetrated to the mountain tribes, in the mythology of which his image was more associated with the missionaries-enlighteners and even Jesus Christ. In these legends, he was called Magaray or Magruai. The land of the Gorenduk clan, on which Miklouho-Maclay first landed in XNUMX and built the first stationary base, is considered a kind of "Promised Land", on which a new village of the Bongu people was built in XNUMX, named after the deified traveler

[Paragraph Epitafievich Y.]

This is Maclay personally, the first white man, they almost deified him. BUT

Quote: Egoza

Russians are grateful!

for what? I don’t remember anything about Russian influence on the life of the New Guinean Papuans. And by the way, which side is Africa here?

Three times in Berlin, two - in Paris, tossing up another 12-15 European countries, where our troops dropped in on a "visit"! The CAR should pray to all its gods that Russia often dropped in to see them, perhaps they will catch up with Estonia.

[tralflot1832]

Who told me here that we in the Central African Republic will not get "buns" for free military equipment and shooters. We carefully read the American.

[ultra]

The Russian state will not get it, this is a fact.

[tralflot1832]

Russian specialists will work, they will put in order the mining of diamonds and gold. And I even guess who will do this. I will tell you, those who have government participation will do it.

[ultra]

So I say, this is a typical colonial possession.

[hohol95]

You say "buns" ... Who is transporting bags of cobalt in armored vehicles with UN signs? Not by chance peacekeepers, of whom there are already 14 thousand? And who do not understand what they are doing there.
So, various French and Americans raised their howls after "lightly pinching their tails."
A lot of the same Frenchmen "namiried" in Mali? And the Americans in Somalia?

Was it their kind of emperor Bokasa who loved a human?

[spirit]

Yes, a person Orchestra: pioneer, leader, Emperor, cannibal) there are memories of our pilot Anatoly Korablev, assigned to the CAR, he attended one party where the local winner of the beauty contest was served

No, you're wrong ... She lived almost like Switzerland - weapons in every house, money - chickens do not peck (because there were no chickens) .....

Why breed chickens when there are so many little men running around

[tralflot1832]

They are experiencing, knowing the love of this nation for the business with gold and diamonds, they were definitely present in the CAR, and now the lafa is over. It was not easy to sweep into such a hole as Pointe Noir, the Congo, so there was a private trader who bought diamonds from blacks, the Israeli flag hung over his office ...

[Krasnodar]

Israel's share in world diamond cutting is 23%. You have not seen anything surprising - the Israelis buy diamonds everywhere, incl. in Yakutia. Lafa is not a fig for the Jews - before they negotiated with the Africans for two kopecks, now they will agree with the Russian protégé for four, or directly with the Russians for five kopecks.

[hohol95]

Is it all thanks to the 14 thousand peacekeepers from MINUSCA?

Russia's activity in Africa does not carry charity, all its actions are aimed at achieving their own goals.

Well, judging by the dissenting squeal of our jingoistic patriots, they just think that we are carrying charity ..))

[Prjanik]

Either our professional mourners, at first worried about the whole of Russia, now they began to worry about Belarus and the Central African Republic

[Roman070280]

Yes, these are the same ones .. who are worried about the whole world, and want to help them all get off the palm tree ..
By the way, they don’t worry about Russia itself .. in their opinion, everything is close to ideal here ..))

[Prjanik]

No, Russia is no longer the USSR and not an exceptional gendarme, you live for great
socialism will not be worried for everyone and imposed, now exclusively mutually beneficial relations

[Roman070280]

now an extremely mutually beneficial relationship

Duc about that and there was a conversation above .. And the African himself wrote this:

Russia's activity in Africa does not carry charity, all its actions are aimed at achieving their own goals.

But local commentators say that he, they say, only from a palm tree, does not understand anything, radishes, etc.

Well, judging by the dissenting squeal of our jingoistic patriots, they just think that we are carrying charity ..))

[Prjanik]

But does he really understand everything there or did he take the initiative? Under the direction of their amersky or French curators, who are yielding to Russia their influence in the CAR, the field commander of an illegal armed group wrote something, received a pittance for his struggle, bought drugs and forgot

[Roman070280]

Does he really understand everything there?

Doesn't he understand ?? This interpretation also has the right.
Why do we suddenly know better from here, what he understands there ..
In any case, the essence of his phrase is close to the one that you voiced too .. so, probably, yes .. understands all the same ..
Or, you also voiced it for a pittance ??)

socialism will not be worried for everyone and imposed, now exclusively mutually beneficial relations

Under the direction of their American or French curators

Well, yes .. when someone praises us, it means he writes under our direction ..))

[Prjanik]

In general, do not care about these characters and their struggle) The only thing that matters is that we strengthen our position in the world, including Africa. Here are our "partners" and got alarmed, their negative reaction went, like our liberda, so we are doing everything right)

[Roman070280]

we are strengthening our positions in the world, including Africa.

Estimate .. the dude said the same word for word ..))

Russia's activity in Africa does not carry charity, all of its actions are aimed at achieving their own goals.

Here are our "partners" and got alarmed, went their negative reaction

Who and where was alarmed ??) Where is the speech of some partners ??
The representative of Africa called a spade a spade .. exactly the same as what you yourself wrote ..
We repeat after him, but still we argue and accuse ..))

like our liberda, it means we are doing everything right)

It's the same with our liberda .. it doesn't matter what is said .. true or not .. the main thing is to argue ..))

[Prjanik]

Now we read more carefully what is written in the heading "The country invaded by Russia will never recover", and then "Russian influence in Africa is growing, the United States is declining, and this is not good for African countries." With 1 part of the proposal I absolutely agree and do not argue, in 2 this is the most negative reaction, and "partner" because all this is published in the amersky edition. So this is not at all what I wrote)
And with liberda, it's usually the same thing, to mix partially truth and falsehood, and draw false conclusions from this)

[Roman070280]

With 1 part of the proposal absolutely agree and I do not argue

at 2 this same negative reaction, and "partner" because all this is printed in the amerskoy edition.

Strange conclusions ..
It seems logical that if “the country into which Russia invaded, will never recover", And you agree with this - then" Russian influence in Africa is increasing, the United States is decreasing, and it is not good for African countries"is also true ..))

And then the "negative reaction", if it's true ??)
How could he say to please our patriots ??)

The country invaded by Russia will never recover, Russian influence in Africa is increasing, the United States is decreasing, and this WILL benefit African countries "

So what ??)

If you agree that the country will not recover .. then it means that no benefit can be expected from here .. Isn't it right ??

And with another country, perhaps there are chances at least ..
And purely without politics - it is essential that the States are richer, more influential, and making friends / working with them is more profitable.

since all this is printed in the amerskoy edition. So this is not at all what I wrote)

I’m reading this in our publication ..
And you wrote above word for word after him ..))
And the fact that the "reaction is negative" .. so sorry .. the African did not set himself the goal of being a diplomat, and speaking the truth - he does not offend anyone ..

And with liberda, it's usually the same thing, to mix partially truth and falsehood, and draw false conclusions from this)

So you make false conclusions ..))

[Prjanik]

Wrong, it is better to read. "Russian influence in Africa is growing, the United States is declining" is the only thing I agree with. Take Syria as an example, the government and I have crumbled all sorts of jihadist barmaley, now the refugees are returning home, and peaceful cities are being restored, it seems that there is nothing wrong with that.
Specifically for the CAR, I will not say what this will lead to, but even if we assume that it’s going to be nothing good, if the African were such an impartial truth-teller, I would say that any intervention in the country would negatively affect it, and not Russia alone. And so it turns out that we are bad, while others are white and fluffy, and therefore they need to move Russia away and come to put things in order) This is the message of the article
In our edition it was reprinted, the original is in amersky, and as for me, it is far from the fact that there was a boy at all, in the sense of that African fighter in reality

The biasedness of the article in the American media directly shouts about it. The meaning boils down to one thing - Russia is evil, USA is hope in white clothes. The leader of one of the groups, which clearly do not exist on donations, draws conclusions that directly indicate his lack of not only education, but also intelligence.

[Hexagon]

Um ... In such positions, intelligence is contraindicated, but animal cunning and cruelty, on the contrary, are necessary.

[Roman070280]

The point boils down to one thing - Russia is evil

The point is completely different ..
A country whose citizens themselves receive $ 500 as a salary, and 200 pensions each - will not be able to help anyone else too much.
It's like an axiom ..

Russia's activity in Africa does not carry charity

Finally, Russia stopped arranging charity in the style of the USSR. Any help assumes response. If they are not there, then there is no help. Everything is in the style of the USA and Europe.

Well, they are doing chaos.

Basically, everyone made a correct diplomatic answer, only two remarks: "black

Unfortunately, this resource has recently been overloaded with xenophobic curses, which discredits it, the Russian-speaking segment of the Internet and Russians. Somehow it is necessary to call to order too unprincipled commentators. In ordinary life, in 10 years you will not hear as many curses addressed to non-Russians as you will read in a couple of visits to this site. Apparently someone is deliberately littering sites with such an abomination.

The country that Russia will invade will be lucky and very lucky, but it will not be lucky and will not be very lucky if the United States invades !!!

After the invasion and occupation of the United States, it will be difficult for any country to recover! And the United States, as usual, dumps from a sore head to a healthy one, and, as always, Russia is to blame!

Russian specialists will work, they will put in order the mining of diamonds and gold. And I even guess who will do this. I will tell you, those who have government participation will do it.

Well, then. Palaces in rashka, that's good. But it is necessary to build something similar over the hill. And then suddenly you have to wind fishing rods from your beloved homeland. Anyone can turn around

Nobody needs Africa, everything that the Europeans do there is aimed at achieving some economic interests related to the extraction of minerals. It's just that Russia is doing it in a more civilized and gentle way. Here, the author and the United States, the rolls are burning from this.

learned a lot! For example from the phrase

The United States cannot sit on two chairs opposing Russia and fighting jihadist insurgencies.

follows that US fights jihadist insurgency... Oh, how .. I, out of my dullness, thought that the United States creates and controls these movements ...

Here they show two criteria of democracy, and therefore it is necessary to understand them - the criteria, the difference. Democracy appeared during the time of slavery, which shows social inequality in a society divided into two classes - dominant and servile. Therefore, in the environment of the ruling class between members of society, there is a relative equality of civil rights and freedoms, duties and responsibilities to society and the administrative apparatus - the state. And in relation to the servile class - slaves, deprived of the means of production, civil rights and freedoms, and therefore turned into personal property and free labor for the production of everything to satisfy the services and needs of their master on the basis of assigned duties and responsibility for failure to fulfill them. At the same time, the owner forces the slaves to work by means of gross physical violence - an incentive, a stick to fit the slaves. Therefore, in relation to slaves, there is not even a hint of democracy, but there is only a cruel and immoral dictatorship. And if by this criterion - feudal and bourgeois democracy, compared with American democracy, where there is also social inequality according to different criteria, and the indigenous population is driven into reservations, then we see the essence of this very democracy, which is based on slaveholding roots.
A different form of democracy existed in the USSR, where Soviet power, on the basis of the proletarian dictatorship of the proletariat, built proletarian democracy - the rule of the working people in the interests of the working people and under the control of the working people. Therefore, the Soviet form of democracy is directly opposite to American democracy, because it is aimed at social equality of all members of society with equal civil rights and freedoms, duties and responsibilities of citizens, but in accordance with and taking into account age and gender differences. Therefore, under American democracy, the ruling class provides relative democracy between its members, then in relation to the servants it uses dictatorship in one form or another, which the United States is now demonstrating. Under Soviet rule, on the contrary, the proletarian form of democracy is aimed at ensuring social equality and ensuring civil rights and freedoms for the working people, while the dictatorship is used to protect workers from all forms and types of social parasitism through the oppression and exploitation of man by man.
This is the difference in the criteria and forms of democracy. Therefore, if the USSR, the example with the countries of the Warsaw Pact, the former Soviet republics and even Afghanistan, we see that democracy is aimed both at the elimination of social inequality, etc., as well as the rise of the economy and social welfare of these countries. And the liberation of these countries and the return to the bourgeois form of democracy just shows the high form of Soviet democracy and the baseness, if not the meanness of the American form of democracy. Therefore, American democracy can only hold on to the freedom of propaganda through the media, etc., which has received tools to manipulate public consciousness on the basis of the transfer of potential and the ideological and propaganda apparatus of defeated Nazi Germany, developed on the basis of modern technologies, or on outright discrimination and violence.
And this is understandable: the ruling class can exist when and only when, when it can receive everything necessary for its existence from the producers of goods and services. Therefore, the consumer society is a parasite both in relation to domestic producers of goods and services, and in relation to external producers, which is reflected in the enormous growth of government and domestic debt. And this debt, not backed by material values, just shows the essence of the parasitism of this - the American form of democracy. And it is this parasitism that requires the establishment of both world domination and a rigid dictatorship over the producers of goods and services to ensure the existence of the ruling class and those close to it.
Probably, such an analysis should be done, and on its basis - appropriate conclusions.

All that any country needs for development is stability. The opportunity to work and develop appears only when nothing burns or explodes under you. The nicest European powers and the United States throughout the 20th century took care that there was never any stability in Africa.
As far as you can understand, our people there simply provide order, and nothing more. However, for utterly bored Africans, this is manna from heaven! And of course, in the US and in Europe, no one likes this.

An amazing thing, I typed a query in a search engine: "Russian press on the destructive role of the United States in Africa"... Didn't receive any relevant response. Probably, our scientists from various scientific institutes and agencies do not write on this topic. Indeed, why waste time on trifles? But the film was recently watched here, "Tourist" is called. Just about the described events. True, at first he did not understand either, in Hollywood he was filmed, or he only provided a movie camera.
Although, of course, it may just be unlucky when searching. In any case, the question begs: is it possible that American analysts are right? Americans force local residents to work, but they feed them, they say when to go to bed, when to get up, what to do. Sometimes they even encourage for their work for the benefit of the few chosen ones, they can provide them with a "green card" so that they can become at the end of their lives one of the citizens of a great country.

“In general, it is, of course, very in the spirit of the Americans - to interview a notorious radical and pass off his opinion as an alternative point of view, despite his atrocities towards the population of the Central African Republic. Any sane person understands what this opinion is and why Americans need it. Attempts to discredit our brave specialists who are the guarantors of stability will not go anywhere. And you need to answer this with deeds. It turns out, as we can see, very effectively, "- said the military writer Alexei Sukonkin.

Government forces, supported by Russian instructors, who are usually ranked by Western media as PMC Wagner, continue to smash the radicals. The militants, realizing that they now have to confront a much stronger army and its allies, are trying to convince everyone around that Russia is evil.

Russian influence in Africa is growing, the United States is decreasing, and this does not benefit African countries, writes the author of an article for the American edition of War on the Rocks John Lechner.

Didn't understand something, the USA in Africa all these years was engaged in charity work, defeated hunger and begging? Or minerals were pumped out and pumped out of the black continent, maybe all the same! The article is ordered. And where Russia is, there is creation!

You are confusing the USSR and modern bourgeois Russia.

Help you find a black shoe, for your respects

Why are you trying to live my life for me? If you are interested in other people's shoes, this does not mean that they are of interest to me. I have communicated with representatives of different nations and I cannot say anything bad about my counterparts. If during this communication there is mutual respect and each evaluates the other by achievements, abilities, intelligence and culture, and not by nationality or the color of eyes, hair and skin.
