I can't tell if you're purposefully being obtuse or?


Look in a mirror. Exploitation and suppression are not domination. Maybe English isn't your first language?

It isn't, but I don't need to split hairs on what words that have very similar connotations mean to evade. Instead of being an edge lord, support how the Europeans exploited and suppressed the Africans for thousands of years.

I use terminology very specifically. Neither exploitation nor suppression requires or implies domination. Domination is very different. You pulled domination out of your ass and I have every right to shut you down until you learn what the words you're putting in my mouth mean.

So your response to provide any support for what you say is just to further split hairs without actually addressing the actual question. Use your own words to explain what you actually meant then? You sound pedantic, as if you just decided to put into practice the things you learned in your philosphy101 class.

If you won't acknowledge your failure to use the language properly then you will continue to fail.

Regarding the rest, I can see how my wording can be seen to imply I was saying Europe was constantly meddling in Africa for thousands of years. It was not my intent. It also isn't relevant. Thousands of years ago Europeans were meddling in Africa. So what if they took a break? You think Africans just forgot they had been there?

Last I looked Rome is in Europe, so I don't have any way to look at it but as a European power.

The African Union announced on Tuesday, August 22, that it would suspend Niger from its institutions after the coup led by General Abdourahamane Tiani. However, the organization has a reserved position on a possible West African military intervention, according to a press release from its Peace and Security Council. The Council "takes note of the ECOWAS decision to deploy a force" in Niger and requests the African Union Commission to "undertake an assessment of the economic, social, and security implications" of such a deployment.

After the overthrow by the military of President Mohamed Bazoum, elected in 2021, ECOWAS announced on August 10 its intention to deploy a West African force "to restore constitutional order in Niger". On Friday, after a meeting of West African chiefs of staff in the Ghanaian capital Accra, the commissioner for political affairs, peace, and security of the regional organization, Abdel-Fatau Musah, indicated that "the day of the intervention" was fixed, as were "the strategic objectives, the necessary equipment, and the commitment of the Member States". "If an attack were to be undertaken against us, it will not be the walk in the park that some people believe in," Niger's new strongman, General Abdourahamane Tiani, replied on Saturday.

==> So maybe they want to make a commando operation? That's what I see.

I should probably not tell you you're getting ripped off, but you probably won't believe me anyway.
