Following Donald Trump’s recent election win, well-known journalist David Hundeyin has urged African countries to seize the opportunity presented by his upcoming presidency to remove corrupt leaders, including Nigeria’s Bola Tinubu......See Full Story>>.....See Full Story>>
In a tweet today, Hundeyin argued that Trump’s expected continuation of a dominant stance towards Africa could benefit those seeking to challenge “puppets” installed by the Biden/Harris administration in nations like Nigeria and Kenya.
Hundeyin proposed that with Trump no longer facing re-election, and reportedly motivated by personal grievances against the U.S. establishment, he might disrupt the usual support systems that prop up foreign leaders backed by U.S. interests.
He highlighted the ongoing tensions between Trump and the U.S. Intelligence Community, referring to the deep conflicts that surfaced during his previous term.
Hundeyin believes this internal struggle in the U.S. could diminish the typical imperial influence on African economies.
He recalled a period between 2017 and 2019, during Trump’s last term, when economic exploitation in Nigeria slowed briefly due to disruptions within the U.S. State Department.
“If you’re in Nigeria, Kenya, or another African nation led by a Biden/Harris-backed leader, this outcome provides a 2-4 year window to act and remove that leader, freeing your country from U.S. economic manipulation.
“U.S. foreign policy is generally imperialistic and stable, but Trump could be a game changer, as he is now free from the need for re-election and motivated by personal vendettas, especially after enduring criminal trials and public humiliation. Trump and the U.S. Intelligence Community have clashed since 2016.
“During his previous term, mass resignations at the State Department occurred, and it was the Intelligence Community that spread the false claim that Russia helped him win, leading to a federal investigation that yielded nothing.
“Trump despises these groups for his own reasons, and those same groups are behind the imposition of puppet leaders and exploitative imperial decisions around the globe. They are the ones making basic services like fuel and electricity unaffordable in Nigeria, and imposing heavy taxes on cancer patients in Kenya.
“Over the next four years, we can expect intense internal conflicts as Trump does what he does best—creating chaos. This will make it harder for these forces to operate behind the scenes to maintain control.
“We witnessed a brief economic recovery in Nigeria between 2017 and 2019, as Trump’s disruption of the State Department hampered the systematic plundering of the country’s economy. This pause lasted until 2020.
“This means that if Kenyans push for #RutoMustGo part two next year, the U.S. government will not provide cover for his continued rule. The same applies to Nigeria, where the Biden/Harris-supported leader in Aso Rock faces growing opposition. If there are plans to challenge American-backed puppet regimes across the continent, now is the time to act.
“For the next four years, America will be too consumed by its internal struggles to properly focus on controlling Africa’s rising economies. This could be the last real opportunity to challenge these regimes. Politicians, activists, business leaders, soldiers, and journalists—now is the time to take action,” Hundeyin concluded in his tweet.
