Best Wishes to the new Nigerian 🇳🇪 Government and standing up to the Bully Colonialist French 🇫🇷
YOUR PRESIDENT SAID ITS NOT A COUP LETS GET IT RIGHT
Stop dreaming Blinken – the West has to stay out. Follow the EU and cut all financial support and trade.
There is no other way – the Wedt had to stay out. Thst is an African issue and must be solved there – in one way or the other.
American should keep of African because coming it make it worse ,,who are the to command us in our own land,,
Western has used democracy to spoiled Africa by supporting corrupt Africa leader's and most of them came in through vote rigging and voters suppression and manipulation like this year February election in Nigeria which they announced an illegitimate person in the name of Tinubu as the winner and America got mind to send a delegate on the day of swearing in and now citizens are suffering high cost of living, hunger and insecurities, if tomorrow military take over power would you blame them the answer is No. Now Nigerians are calling on military to take over power because suffering is too much that's why you see citizens supporting coup d'etat in west Africa countries. So American and Europe are the cause of coup d'etat in west Africa.
Once again usa will put is nose where it doesn’t belong
Who will ask this man Mr Blinken and HRW for the Genocide against the Amhara people in Ethiopia? Who will ask all main stream medias on why they are suffocating their cries or lie against them?
Rubbish shame
WHY AMERICA ALWAYS INTERVENING IN INTERNAL ISSUES OF ALL COUNTRIES?
Get thee behind us satan😂
Blinken who???😅
STAY OUT OF AFRICA !!!
I'm pretty sure Wagner it's just trying to survive. Especially since not getting paid.
Hilarious! A country tht is so confused about the definition of a woman wants to play a cop and get in another country's business. 😂
Another big talks warning by stupid blinken.
Well, you guys remove the democratically elected leader of Ukraine and replace it with the clown. What goes around comes around. Too much double standards by the US and its allies.
Glory to Russia for being the only country in this world to face you guys without fear.
We've done enough…
Thats is thier issue man!
White Racist Yankees KILLED black Americans. World knows.
Blinken is only against it because it is not a CIA coup. What a stinking hypocrite. Nothing the USgov does is about "democracy" and "our values". It is all about shekels and power.
When is DC gonna learn? It’s like amateur hour at the state department.
