The coup in Gabon in August was most recent in a series of setbacks for French imperialism. The Sahel region of West Africa, which France has historically treated as it's colonial back yard, is today known as the 'coup belt', and has seen military takeovers in Chad, Niger, Mali, Sudan, Burkina Faso, Sierra Leone and Guinea. In this talk, Josh Holroyd will explain the causes of these seismic events, as well as the revolutionary way forward: the masses can't be duped by the cynical Chinese and Russian imperialists, but must rely on their own forces. 📚 Get your copy of Lenin's 'Imperialism: The Highest Stage of Capitalism': https://wellredbooks.co.uk/product/imperialism-the-highest-stage-of-capitalism/ 🚩 Check out the launch website of 'The Communist', coming January 2024: https://communist.red/ 🌐 Head to our website for theory, news, and analysis: https://socialist.net/ ✊ Join the campaign to build a Revolutionary Communist Party: https://socialist.net/join 💸 Donate to our special party launch fund: https://socialist.net/donate
