coup d’état – Siress editions

After Mali, Burkina Faso, Guinea, Niger and now Gabon, African continent is clearly in revolt against the French colonialism in western Africa in the Sahel region. Like in all African puppet regimes, ridiculed by Burkinabe’s young president per interim, Ibrahim Troaré during his seminal speech given in Saint Petersburg in July 27 in the framework of 2th summit Russia-Africa, Gabonese elections are rigged with the support of France to maintain in power its puppet president, Ali Bango Odimba after the long rule of his late father Omar Bango. The two main questions which arise now, (1) what would be the reaction of France’s puppet, the ECOWAS which is preparing for military intervention in Niger in order to remove the new military leadership from power, reinstating the ousted president Mohammed Bazoum and restoring the so called constitutional order; (2) what would be France’s reaction, the former colonial power which has already lost her footing in many of her former colonies in Mali, Burkina Faso, Central Africa, Guinea, Niger and now Gabon. It is worth noting, France has 6560 soldiers stationed there and numerous military bases located in Africa in the framework of OPEX(foreign operations) that cost to French taxpayers 1,4 billion euros per year. Giving the ongoing events in Africa, it is worth reading this seminal book of revolutionary Franz Fanon, “the African revolution” follow on @elmir1975

Rise of Bonapartism (1)

After the collapse of the democratic Republic of the Year II created with the aid of the sans-culottes, succeeded the property-owners’ republic of Thermidor and the Directory, giving way to Bonaparte and his military dictatorship. With the accession of Robespierre and the Jacobins to power, the French Revolution took a new pace, that of popular democracy and the achievement in concreto of what really means the concept of popular sovereignty. In this respect, the Jacobin Declaration and Constitution of 1793 marked a turning-point not only in French political history but in that of the world. Here for the First time in history a nation was provided (on paper at least) with a system of government under which all male citizens had the right to vote and a huge measure of control over its representatives and rulers. But following Thermidor reaction, after the fall of Robespierre, Jacobinism and popular Jacobinism died in 1797 when Augereau dispersed the Jacobin mob Two year later, Bonaparte ordered his grenadiers to disperse the Five Hundred in 1799 and with it, the first democratic and popular democracy was over and a new began in the history of France, that of Bonaparte dictatorship and the rise of a new form of modern dictatorship, the Bonapartism.
