Somebody's comment :

"What did the former President Bazoum "administration" accomplish with U.S.$2 billion according to the World Bank? Apologies: maybe most of it was stashed in French banks. That may be the reason why the French were the first to impose economic sanctions against the junta. Imbecile. Four Star Gen. Austin, Biden's Sec. of Defense is the only senior administration official who has not condemned the coup. He is not only a military officer but understands the "complexities" of French colonialism and neo-colonialiam.
