Pattern recognition and the ability to always ask "why" is the difference between a thinking, independent adult and a zombie who lets Twitter manage his emotions.
It's when you look at the "South Africa Vs Ghana beef" and you ask yourself why the South African xenophobes whom everyone knows have had problems with Nigerians and Zimbabweans since forever, suddenly decided to go after Ghanaians - the relatively unproblematic group of Africans that are both highly visible and universally liked across the continent.
Why would the Afrophobes seeking a quick and easy win against African immigrants skip over the hundreds of thousands of available Zimbabweans (invisible and easy to pick on) and Nigerians (widely disliked across Africa) and specifically start a beef with the one group of Africans that the entire continent knows and likes?
How many Ghanaians even live in South Africa compared to Nigerians and Zimbabweans? Why did Ghana - the most unlikely target with the least potential payoff - suddenly become the focus of South African Afrophobes? What did that contrived, 1-sided beef accomplish except create a narrative that set the entire continent against them? Why would Afrophobes seeking a win against immigrants go after the one group of immigrants that everyone likes and aren't even that many, when there were tens of thousands of Kudakwashes and Emekas to go after?
Why shoot themselves in the foot for absolutely no reason by making an enemy out of the state that had the capacity to immediately charter widebody aircrafts to evacuate its citizens who were then pictured joyfully singing their national anthem on the plane home? Why score such a disastrous PR own goal and completely discredit their own movement by adopting the role of comic book monsters, to the point where all of South Africa's continental soft power is genuinely under threat?
Are these Afrophobes really that stupid?
Or, or...hear me out - they are just patsies and someone else behind the scenes is carefully curating a sequence of events that leads South Africa into a catastrophic loss of diplomatic credibility and cultural influence, which will then be followed by an assault against the South African state itself, possibly by one or more separatist entities that are already being covertly armed and equipped?
Who was recently seen sending Starlink kits to Orania under the Seal of the US First Lady? Whose ambassador recently met with Western Cape separatists after publicly stating that he "does not care what South Africa's courts say"? Who is currently pushing every button to discredit South Africa on the international stage including disinviting the country from the G7 meeting and using disaster photos from DR Congo to falsely claim a "white genocide" in South Africa?
Pattern recognition is what helps you stitch all these data points together in sequence and reach the obvious conclusion that helps you avoid becoming a useful idiot whose thoughts and feelings are dictated by proprietary algorithms owned by billionaire white supremacists who microdose ketamine.
It's a basic adult requirement.
West Africa has a severe power crisis that doesn't reach many people
Ur claims of "reforms" are already occuring the "juntas" have already done so. Ur not clued into West African life and politics it's clear https://t.co/qIN95hhYZa
You should read this EU press release carefully, as while full of deserving praise for EU funded NGOs providing aid & โbreaking the siegeโ of the Sourou area, it never once mentions the Burkina Faso government, whose military was the one which actually broke this siege.
Which governments are painted as heroic defenders of the Burkinabรจ people (those providing aid money) & which are painted as devils (those killing & dying to secure those communities) in this discourse points to a broader self-deception by westerners over their responsibilities.
The small Arlington VA IT company which, under the 2nd Trump administration, has seen a meteoric rise in large IT contracts with a dozen African governments.
Still have never seen any reporting on this odd phenomena.
