Honestly I find it outrageous that normal or precious metals are mined and exported of almost every country to another one where a corporation is based. This should stay within the boarders of these countries and use to raise standard of living. Especially in Africa…
Overexploited, not underdeveloped. Natural resource wealth belongs to the peoples who live where it comes from.
Obviously I agree, but I didn’t say underdeveloped. I know these countries are exploited by western conglomerates through puppet government leaders installed by secret services as democratic leaders to sellout natural resources into their hands. Same like before by East India Trading Company. They at least had the decency to steal it themselves…
Sorry, I meant that as an extension of your thoughts, not a correction.

Because france wants to keep that gold flowing into their coffers, and the coup leaders threaten that flow, so we’re gonna see another Iraq.
More like Russia wants it to fund their war in Ukraine, so they sent Wagner to instigate a coup.
Almost 80% of Nigeriens support the new government. The previous leader was a western backed comprador. But sure, just shut down the reasonable part of the discussion by running in a circle and yelling “Russia!”
Russia has more gold than it needs and still buying. What a nice way to get rid of collapsing dollar.
