Why is Israel word between quotes?

That is totally right. I’m french. Laws protect renters, but not that much, and landlords don’t hesitate to threaten with false pretense. And if you mention anything illegal they’re doing, you simply won’t have the apartment. They ask documents they have no right to see, but if you don’t provide them they won’t even look at your application. Obviously people of colour do have a harder time finding an apartment, but even for engineers it’s hard to find one in a city.

And yet most of the political forces in France are advocating to remove all these rights. Sindicalists are arrested under terrorist laws, as are eco-activists. And maires trying to enforce price ceiling for lawns in cities are considered like Staline.

Nice try. Avoiding the question and distracting with colonialism. But Niger was not a colony anymore, and you provided no example of a military coup that ended well in recent africa history. You are also avoiding the very obvious Russian imperialism of this coup. When a protest shows more Russian flags than Nigerian ones, I hardly believe it’s going to be independent…

It’s now a military dictature. Which one of those went well in the last 50 years in Africa?

While I don’t endorse colonialism, I’m not quite sure they’ll get it better with Russia.
