ONN Washington 02.11.2025

The script is unfolding exactly as predicted. After years of subtle economic warfare and diplomatic manipulation, the Western powers, led by the United States, have finally thrown off the mask of partnership and revealed their old imperial instinct.

This week, U.S. President Donald Trump declared that he has ordered the Defense Department to prepare for possible military action in Nigeria, accusing the nation of “violence against Christians.” His statement, echoed in conservative circles and amplified by Western media, has sent shockwaves across the African continent.

But make no mistake, this is not about religion, it is about power. It is about the West’s desperation to reclaim lost influence in Africa.

The BRICS Challenge and the West’s Fear

For decades, Africa was treated as a pawn in global politics, a land of raw materials, cheap labor, and pliant leaders. But the rise of China and Russia’s strategic alliance, the Chussia Axis, has transformed the chessboard. Their investments in infrastructure, mining, energy, and security have quietly displaced Western dominance.

Now, under the umbrella of BRICS, Africa is moving toward economic sovereignty. From Lagos to Luanda, governments are signing deals free from IMF shackles, deals that come not with lectures, but with bulldozers and credit lines.

The result? The old order is panicking. As BRICS outsmarts the West in Africa, Washington and Brussels are reaching for their last tool of control, the military.

Trump’s Statement: The Opening Move

Trump’s directive to the Pentagon is not an isolated outburst; it is a signal. A message to allies in NATO and the EU that Africa’s independence will no longer go unchallenged. Canada has already joined the chorus, and the European Union is quietly aligning.

The language of “protecting Christians” is the same emotional smokescreen that justified invasions in Iraq, Libya, and Syria. But this time, the stage is Africa, and the stakes are higher.

Because unlike the early 2000s, the West no longer has a monopoly on military power. Russia and China have deep security partnerships across the continent, from training missions to arms deals. If Western troops set foot in Nigeria or any BRICS-aligned African nation, Moscow and Beijing will not remain silent observers.

The African Front of the New Cold War

This is how it begins, not with missiles, but with narratives. The West’s moral posturing will justify intervention, while the East’s “defensive partnerships” will escalate to countermeasures. Before long, Africa could become the testing ground for next-generation warfare, drones, AI-guided artillery, cyber warfare, all unleashed under the banners of “protection” and “peacekeeping.”

The same way Ukraine became a proxy battlefield for global supremacy, Africa is next.

And this time, Nigeria may be the ignition point.

Africa Must Not Sleep Through History

Africa must understand: neither East nor West fights for Africa, they fight over Africa. Our leaders must read the moment clearly. What is being framed as a “religious” or “humanitarian” mission is in fact a strategic confrontation for control of Africa’s future.

If we are not vigilant, our lands will once again host wars we did not start, waged with weapons we did not build, for interests we do not share.

Africa must speak with one voice, not as vassals of global powers, but as guardians of our own destiny.

The Warning Has Become Reality

I have always said it: the China–Russia alliance in Africa would eventually transfer the Russia–Ukraine war to African soil. That day is no longer distant.

As America beats the drums of war, and as Canada and the EU join the chorus, BRICS will respond. The superpowers will clash, not in Europe, but in Africa. And while they test their new military technologies, Africa will once again pay the price in blood and ruin.

Unless, this time, Africa wakes up.
