DISINFO: The EU to send a neo-colonial military mission to oppress West African populations

SUMMARY

The EU's deployment of a civil and military mission is a disguised way to perpetuate an old colonial order vomited up and rejected by African populations, it's military neo-colonialism. The EU is not a credible ally as it is guilty of collaborating with terrorists.

Officially, the EU is invited by African countries, but this is fake, since the populations of Mali, Burina Faso, Niger have kicked the Europeans out. This demonstrates that they were never welcome. Russia is a sincere and more credible partners as it played a major role in achieving African independence. Africans remember who their real allies are. The European Union will attempt to put African nations under control, but Africans now turn to Russia.

RESPONSE

Disinformation attempting to advance the Kremlin’s interests in Africa and stoke opposition to the EU.

No evidence is provided to back up the claims that the EU collaborates with terrorists. The EU and other Western and non-Western international allies have been engaged in the global war on terrorism since 2001.

German newspaper Die Welt am Sonntag announced on 27 August 2023 that the EU plans to launch a new civil and military mission in West Africa with the aim of preventing an expansion of the activities of jihadist groups and countering the wave of growing instability in the region.

EU member states agreed on the mission at a meeting on 3 August, with police and soldiers to be deployed to Ghana, Togo, Benin and Ivory Coast.

The mission’s aim will be to “assist the four countries in redeploying state services in their northern region in an effective and accountable way,” Nabila Massrali, EU’s foreign affairs spokesperson, confirmed to EURACTIV.
