Western interventions in Africa "perpetuate problems," says Malian presidential advisor

A reduction in the United States Africa Command, reportedly under consideration by Trump, would give the continent time to "reorganize" so that foreign troops are no longer "imposed from the outside," Adama Diabate told Sputnik Africa.

"Africans have understood many things that were hidden, that were once taboo, where they were made to believe that their so-called saviors were actually not their saviors but their executioners," he emphasized.

A new awareness has emerged in the countries of the Alliance of Sahel States, an organization now synonymous with a "cultural and human renaissance" in Africa, according to the official.

"The peoples of these three countries have had enough of this terrorism orchestrated, funded, and armed by the West. They have awakened and are now dictating to their leaders what needs to be done, what the people want," he noted.

Other countries, such as Russia and China, prioritize win-win exchanges, but Western policy aims to prevent them from thriving on the continent, concluded Diabate.
