I see a few Russian flags indeed, thanks for the link. Importantly, what I don’t see, are Russians. Hong Kong protestors carried US flags, but I don’t think many people think that the US orchestrated them, we’ve seen similar across the world in various times and places. I’m not sure why they’re waving Russian flags, but I sure would love to ask them. Maybe I’ll talk to my Ghanaian friends and see if they have any experience with support for Russia in their nation, but last I heard, he hated Russia and China as much as he hates France, and more than he hates the US.
That’s very true. Nearly all major nations employ cyber-criminals in other countries to spread narratives and control dissent. I don’t see why Africa would be any different in being targeted. I’m pretty involved in local Ghanaian affairs through local Ghanaian friends and family, and I’ve yet to see anything suggesting he or his support Russia, but it’s such a small sample size from only one country, I hesitate to use it as evidence for or against anything. He does support the coup though, and he’s even more angry at ECOWAS than I am, and his own government which he believes is gearing up for war.
I’ll ask him what he thinks of Russia though, I don’t think I’ve ever directly broached the subject with him.
