  1. As a Nigerian, I have come to the conclusion that Haiti is a lost cause and it's largely their own fault. They can't blame colonialism since DR and others who had it worse are doing better. They can't blame the debt since Germany had to pay more reparations for two world wars, Mexico lost territory and money to the USA and both are better. Their problems are due to their own socioeconomics, culture and history. Even after their revolution, their leaders reinstalled the plantation system and restricted civil rights and impoverished their own people while also invading and enslaving the DR. They are their own worst enemy.

  2. As a Nigerian, thanks for making this video. You covered the points objectively. It is surprising to me how many westerners and even some Africans actually think most of us in west Africa support this coup. We are appalled by it and we know how it will lead to insecurity and increased social and economic problems for all of us. Already in Mali, Guinea and Burkina Faso, their coups by the Wagner group and local military thugs, have ledto increased insurgency and poverty for local citizens.

  3. As a Nigerian, i have been hearing some news and developments saying the Wagner group is losing in the Sahel and gradually abandoning Mali and soon the other juntas and welcome this. I already support Ukraine and hope they win but also, Russia's presence here in the Sahel part of West Africa has caused so much chaos here. They installed juntas that are undermining civic liberties in Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso. This has also increased insecurity as more lsIamist groups have risen and spread out to our other countries here. They are also extracting resources to fuel their Ukraine conflict.

  4. Respect to Israel from Nigeria 👏👏 Imagine what would have happened had they listened to westerners telling them not to be hard on Hezbollah and Hamas. As someone from a country that knows what it's like to deal with insurgents, i respect them for not backing down.

  5.  @Binge_Zone  always quick to make excuses. So why is Botswana doing so well? You can't always use this "colonialism" excuse😕

  6. To all the people saying "oil", Venezuela actually ships oil to the USA already😂 Also, their oil is literally some of the least desirable and expensive to process. Maybe stop using ldiotic dated jokes from the early 2000s

  7. The middle East being unstable as usual 😕 Ironically, Oman is a country literally next to them and is a beacon of stability, progress, tolerance, development, and modernity yet Yemen continues to regress. the Houthis have done more harm to Arab countries like Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Yemen itself, etc than they have done to Israel.

  9. ​ @x2598bbb yes😕 Do we live in the same Nigeria?! How can you ask such question? I can criticize Pres. Tinubu and he will/can not imprison or forcibly send me to military for that. That is what the juntas are doing to theor cotizens who criticize them.

  10. Yes, but one Sudan is clearly worse than the other. A financial collapse can be reversed but North Sudan has far more problems that can never be fixed.

  11. @irresponsibleparent3  actually, I am. I don't deny much of what you say. At least I acknowledge the flaws in my country instead of using excuses or blaming others for our self-made problems, like you people do with Haiti. Also, no. Half of my country is not under Boko Haram. It's more like a quarter and those places closer to unstable Sahel countries

  12. @Binge_Zone  I did read your comment. How disingenuous of you not to read mine. My point still stands. Resource wealth is not a guarantee of stability or Congo and Yemen would be prosperous

  13. ​ @fritznovak4482 sad but true. Worse is that many of our own people here are either ignorant of it ir actively support the juntas and wagner group because of online propaganda 😢

  14. @scoobydoobers23  you are correct, friend. I was a bit too downcast. I do, indeed, want the country to get better but I also don't want to delude myself that Haiti has any chance of doing this by themselves at all. As bleak as this sounds, a foreign occupation and nation building plan with a stable Haitian government and fixing their broken institutions, is what will likely work

  15. @Binge_Zone  Botswana isn't only doing well because of diamonds. Seretse Khama's great leadership and Botswana's great culture and socioeconomics is what helps them, especially compared to their resource rich and geographically better neighbors. As for my country, you perfectly show why it's useless to use colonialism as an excuse. We are resource rich and not landlocked yet unstable and poor because of tribalism, poor socioeconomics and political corruption. Resource wealth is not a guarantee of stability. Haiti may lack resources yet they are in such prime geographic location. They could easily be a great tourism hub or a port center like Singapore. They have you g demographics and are close to the USA, an economic power house. What is their excuse?

  16.  @koikoi5520  yes, you initially support it now but that will change. Look at Mali, Burkina Faso and Guinea. All had similar coups by Wagner and local military thugs and all said it was to "liberate their countries". Today, these countries have massive insecurity and worse economic standards and popular support for the coups are dropping. The same will happen in Niger. Also, my country is affected by your coup as we tend to be the next target for the islamic insurgents in your country and we don't want this and will do anything to prevent it.

  17.  @mortmortannon6640  It's not entirely wrong. In much if the Sahel, many citizens have complained about French overreach in the region and many initially welcomed these coups, even in my country and it was mainly, as you point out, about "sticking it to colonizers" as ridiculous as that is but as time went on and the coups in Mali and Burkina Faso showed, insecurity ahs gotten worse and people are feeling the negative effects of the coups. Even some people in my country actually support the coups initially without understanding how it will effect us via the refuges and islamic insurgents from these countries that inevitably pour through our northern borders.

  19.  @watchesandgold  believe whatever you want. If me being against military thugs overthrowing African democracy and harming Africans makes me a "boot polisher" what does your support of them make you?

  20. I am genuinely surprised to see Simon actually being objective abd critical of Joe Biden. He spent so much time glazing him and making out Trump to be the second coming of Gadaffi that I am seriously asking why he never criticized Biden while he was in office the same way he did for Trump.

  21. @Binge_Zone  so white colonialism is what causes government corruption here in Nigeria? It's what causes Islamic terrorists here too? Don't try and use that garbage with me. I live in reality and can't afford excuses

  22. @NiffisWorld  yes, built back by the west and yet you still had to pay back the war reparations😕 What is Haiti's excuse? Mexico lost land and territory and had to pay reparations to America yet they still built back their country and are now becoming a manufacturing power house. South Korea was horribly oppressed by the Mongols, Imperial China, Imperial Japan and severely underdeveloped during the Korean war yet why are they not like Haiti? They have bad soil and little resources like Haiti yet they improved. I really hate this culture of making excuses.

  24. @tarajoyce3598  so what you suggest? Israel just does nothing next time Hamas attacks? Considering how better the standard of living is for Arab Muslim citizens in Israel, you'll forgive me if I don't buy your "apartheid" excuse.

  25.  @adamredwine774  thanks and God bless. Even most Muslims here oppose insurgents like Hamas due to how they also suffer at the hands of terrorists here.

  27. As a Nigerian, it makes me happy to see Russia failing here in Africa. After the Russian mercs helped Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger destroy their democracies, they took control of their gold mines and made inseciand economic hardship worse due to how incompetent the juntas are. Niw that insecurity is spreading to the rest of us in west Africa.

  28.  @Halcon_Sierreno  okay, nice one😂😂I'll give you a thumbs up for that humor.

  29.  @Jazzisa311  a lot of the support is just spontaneous and spurred on by mindless rhetoric. As for the Europe issue, France deserves criticism for failed policies in the Sahel but that is no excuse for a military coup and toppling African democracies. As time has gone on after the initial coups, many of the citizens have come to see how bad they are, especially in increasing islamic insurgency. The only ones benefitting from these coups usually end up being teh corrupt military thugs who seized power and the islamic terrorists in their countries.

  30.  @Halcon_Sierreno  simple, i am a "Western" African. I get the pun. It's is technically correct but we just don't commit use that term to describe ourselves just cause. I mean sort of like how Elon Musk is technically and factually an "African-American" 🤣 but in their culture and colloquial tongue, being African-American just means being black skinned
    2
  31.  @sc1338  yes, I would. This coup happened because of interventions from a Russian mercenary group and local military thugs. Unless you live in west Africa and actually have to deal with the reality and threat of islamic insurgency, you would understand. My country's government has closed the borders to Niger and sanctioned the coup plotters. We know the danger that political instability brings to the area and if the international community will try and stop it, we will gladly welcome them.

  32.  @sc1338  don't let that stuff get to you. Believe me when I say many of us actually understand how the current world order is stable because of the USA. Yeah, there are mistakes they have .ade but most of us prefer what they have established compared to anarchy and insecurity that tends to be the order of the day.

  33.  @MKRex  Amen, friend.

  34. Maybe they should have accepted all the peace deals offered to them since these wars started😕

  35. @Binge_Zone  so how do you explain Switzerland? Heck! What about South Korea? They are not landlocked but they have poor soil like Haiti and little to no resources and were oppressed by multiple powers for longer.
    2
  36. @decodedpsyop  I still don't understand your excuse. How does this explain Haiti's failure? Haitian Americans do well on average and are economically successful in the USA. Same with German-Americans. Even Jamaicans in America do well and their population is also small like Haitians yet Jamaica has good relations with America and better government and economic policies. So you can not use that lazy excuse 😕 Only difference is that Haiti has terrible culture, economic policies and terrible history of domestic government.

  37. Maybe he should be an Iranian or Russian puppet like the last guy. He won't be in trouble. Oh wait......

  41. And they would lose like they have always lost.

  42. @interrobangings  thanks. Sadly, it's mainly the far north Arabized ones who cause problems for the rest of us in this country. Most Muslims, especially here in the South, are moderate and akin to Turkish people in terms of culture and relations with non-Muslims.

  43. So true.

  44. My country, Nigeria, was also affected by the halt in foreign aid but most of us agree with it since much of it was being embezzled by corrupt people. The freeze is mainly temporary and will likely resune after re-negotiations from our government and a commitment to ensure it is used for actual aid. Not to mention, it has also forced our government to domestically raised the funds for HIV AIDS funding instead. Plus, we agree with Trump that it should be via investments and trade with the USA that Africa develops.

  46. Considering how Syria only exists due to foreign powers creating the country, I say you are wrong

  47. 😒 Nothing unusual. The Middle east is just being it's typical unstable self. It has been unstable before my grandma was born in Nigeria and it will be unstable when i pass away from old age. This is a barren region with poor socioeconomics and cultural problems, where diplomacy can ONLY be done via militarism

  48. Ironically, i never hear any Pan-Africanists calling out the UAE for their sponsoring of conflicts here in Africa😕 Absolute hypocrites
