Colonialism is terrible because it deprived people from their right to self determination.
But somehow, when Russia organizes a coup against a democratically elected government in the 21st century, this is totally fine. Oh, yogthos, the public display of your cognitive dissonance is a wonder to witness day after day :)
There is zero evidence for your conspiracy theory that Russia is organizing coups, while there is plenty of evidence that these are popular coups against western repression. You are a shameless propagandist, and one of the most dishonest people I've had the displeasure of interacting with on this site. Here's what's actually going on in Africa for people reading this thread https://peoplesdispatch.org/2023/09/02/niger-and-the-sahel-are-pushing-back-against-insecurity-exploitation-and-france/
Boy isn't this the pot calling the kettle black. 4 yr old account with 9k posts all of them being propaganda. Literally on here posting thrice a day EVERYDAY (not counting his pupet accounts). And it's all propaganda.
Did you miss the whole article at the top of this thread, and detailed analysis it refers to? I'll make it even simpler for you and save you one click:

The onus of the proof is on you to debunk this paper as fallacious, and I'd love to read your take on it.
The rest of your comment is just insults and doesn't bring anything to the argument.
The paper makes vague claims without any substance. There is nothing to debunk there, and if you actually bothered reading the paper yourself you'd know that. I guess perhaps you just expected people not to bother reading it. The link I provided you above explains the situation as it actually is. Maybe go read it.
