With every foreign policy failure, America falls further into a negative feedback loop

The July, 2023 coup in Niger has captured global attention as observers note the upward trend in military coups in West Africa

To date, approximately 20,000 people have been killed and at least two million displaced because of the terrorist group.

To fight the twin plagues of instability and terrorism, America needs Africa to be healthier, freer, and more stable, and that means Africa needs more than just military equipment and military training from America.

The American forces who died fighting ISIS fighters in Niger deserve our gratitude, their families our compassion and help, and their mission in the African theater of operations our support.
