Tchad: The Nation of 1000 Generals fears one man… [by not allowing Succès Masra to return…]

In N’Djamena there is no peace and calm, as they are fearing a man in exile. They have appointed up to a thousand of Generals. The junta government has done what it can consolidate power. However, one man in opposition who fled after a brutal crackdown in October 2022. Are now sparking flair.

As he promised to return to Tchad on an unspecific date in August 2023. Succès Masra, the Exiled Politician and maverick is still causing heartache. As his messages on social media is out of control of the regime.

They are fearing him so much, the leader of the “Transformers Party” that they are now telling all airlines to inform the authorities about whose on the planes. They are not allowing him to enter or board a plane. That’s why the Republic needs to know in advance.

This is how much they fear him and his message. They have to await his return and they will pick him up in bracelets. That’s the message here. If not… they tell the airline to let him disembark and be stuck at the airport, as his name and individual is flagged.

Gen. Kaka the inherited prince and self-proclaimed King of Tchad clearly isn’t a wise man. His a man of guns and ammo. He knows how to fight a war, but not how to build confidence. Certainly, he can appoint a thousand generals, but not get popular. He took over from his father who died on the battlefield.

He can go to battle and fight in military terms, but on the political area his naked. His not capable or has the capacity to show finesse. If he did… he would meet Masra heads on in campaigns, rallies or even demonstrations. However, we know that isn’t how this game is played. We know Gen. Kaka cannot stomach it and is apparently regarding himself the most high.

The authorities of N’Djamena is losing out and making a mockery of themselves. Telling airlines in efforts of stopping one man to return. They are really afraid and frightened of his message. That’s a fact, because why bother to go this far and this extent, if you are not afraid of someone. His messages has to be violence for the regime. It is telling a tale that they don’t want hear. That’s why they are targeting him.

Masra has made himself a name and certainly is respected. If not… he would have just returned and nobody would have cared. Peace.

Opinion: Macron won’t release his “Françafrique” just yet…

The problem of Nigeriens today is putschists who are putting them in danger, because they are abandoning the fight against terrorism, because they are abandoning a policy which was economically good for them, and because they are losing all the international funding that was enabling them to get out of poverty” – President Emmanuel Macron (LSI Africa, 28.08.2023).

We are seeing the desperation from Paris. Paris is losing their vassal states and the ones who has been under wings under “independence”. These nations are now addressing Paris in a manner, which it haven’t been before. While the “French Interests” has come before the National Interests of these “independent” states themselves. In this regard, Niger.

Niger has treated unfairly and unkindly. It has been a place of looting and control from Paris. They have found “mechanisms” and means to an end. That has been done through military assistance or other means. Just to be the “white saviour” who happens to take home the valuable assets from where-ever they where stationed for hot minute. That’s what Paris has done and they thought they could continue this practice for forever.

They thought they could loot, steal and have a say in national affairs all over Sahel region. The French thought they could use power and influence to get “interests” which benefits Paris. That to still be seen as an empire and be a big deal. The French has been proud of this method. The way it keeps of colonial practices and “liberation” agreements, which binds the nations with the French. It isn’t for fun or games, but for profit and gold. The French wants to extract and get as much resources as possible for cheap. That’s why they finessed the “liberators” who signed off on horrific agreements, but they did so in the best possible manner. Since then they have been guaranteed pressure and potential setbacks from Paris.

That’s why the junta government in Niamey was the final straw for Macron and the elites of Paris. They have already tasted the bitter fruits in Burkina Faso, Mali and Guinea. Now Niger is following suit. Being a block of nations of former French colonies who strikes back. The Empire wants to strike back this time. They want their puppet and friend regime in office. Not people who see who the French really are. No, they want to the ones who are willing to budge and be a token soldier for France. That’s all it is and the resigned President in Niger is one of them.

The French doesn’t care about democracy or democratic values in “Francafrique”. This is the same people who are happy with the family dynasties of Togo, Tchad and Gabon. The nation who are backing Biya in Cameroon and so fourth. There so many questionable leaders that the French are supporting in Africa and they still wants to be the voices of reason. When we see what sort of men they shaking hands with and giving favourable treatment. Seriously, the junta of Niamey is the least problem the French has on its hands.

We have seen Macron been disrespectful to Algeria and elsewhere during his tenure in office. Yet again, he shows the French arrogance and belief that they “own” and has a “unique” right to be there. If they are there now and has a mandate. That should be decided by Niamey and not by Paris. Just like Niamey shouldn’t decide what is happening in Paris. That is sovereignty and Paris should respect that. However, neocolonialism and French arrogance stands in the way of that.

A man of Macron stature should understand this, but his jaded with power. That’s why he behaves like this and even uses the “war on terror” as an excuse to overstay in Niger. This is all up to the Head of State of Niger and his fellow dignitaries in office. They are the ones deciding this on behalf of Niger. It isn’t up to Macron to decide that.

Macron isn’t a white saviour and the French state haven’t saved their former colonies. Instead it has kept them in chains and shackles. Under a bureaucratic mess and vast amount of agreements, which has haunted them since “independence”. So, he should be more careful and be grateful that it lasted this long. Peace.

Tchad: How many generals do Gen. Kaka need?

“Mahamat Kaka has taken another step by appointing seven general officers to the rank of major general, marking another escalation in the wave of military promotions. This hasty action, characterized by tribal and anarchic appointments, testifies to a growing tension within the power in place. Indeed, in the space of just two months, Kaka has appointed more generals than Deby in twenty years, bringing the total to more than 300 generals appointed in recent weeks. Based on Tchad One’s cross-checking database, the number of generals in the army has just reached the figure of 1,000 general officers this afternoon” (Tchad One – ‘Kaka’s Last Decree Before Sleeping: Seven Military Bombed Major General’ 05.07.2023).

I don’t know about you… but it is just days ago where a soldier tricked the generals and ensured himself a massive promotion. Until things unfolded and his now detained for fraud to become a General in Tchad.

The military junta and second-generation Deby are using his power to stay in office. The authorities in N’Djamena are trying to find relevance and ensure everyone is under his tent. The President only knows violence and the army, which is why his promoting so many people to become Generals.

It isn’t strange in the grand scheme of things that a youth and young soldier was able to trick the system. When the authorities, the military and state itself promotes that many people in the army. They are filling up the ranks and buying loyalty this way. Though you can wonder who they will command and what sort of military structure will be sustainable with that many generals.

A general has authority and a mandate within the army. A general should lead a partition of troops and be the army commander of somebody. Unless the current Head of State and General himself… just does this to have people on his payroll. It’s a foolish system and could cause uncertainty.

Gen. Kaka is making risky business, which could cause more friction and pressure on his head. Since these people are getting prestige and honours on their names. Even if they are not qualified or fit to be it. It takes a certain type of individual to be a general and a man of war. That isn’t fitted for everyone. Therefore, appointing, promoting and ensure so many people get this… is a quest into uncharted territories.

We can only follow this and wonder what’s the endgame for Gen. Kaka. Peace.

Tchad: The Soldier that tricked the Generals…

The story unfolding before our eyes is worthy of a novel. Timan Yaya Seid, who was promoted to General by Mahamat Kaka just 24 hours ago, was captured by military intelligence and taken into custody, according to our sources. The reason for his arrest is related to charges of forgery and use of forgery, as well as usurpation of military title. The young officer conspired with relatives to put his name on the list of generals awaiting promotion, taking advantage of the incompetence of the presidency and the lack of back and forth control. He then went to the Chief of Staff of Kaka to get the insignia (visible below in the image with General Bichara Issa). After the excitement aroused by this appointment on the web, the presidency carried out checks and discovered the deception. She then dispatched the military intelligence services in pursuit of Timan Yaya Seid. According to concordant sources from Tchad One, a decree for dismissal from the army is being drafted” (Tchad One, 01.07.2023).

This here story is something else. The junta government of N’Djamena was fooled by one of their own. They are ruled by the unelected second generation Deby, Gen Mahamat Kaka. A man who has control because of the army and not because of the civilians. Therefore, to get anywhere in Tchad, you need to do it through the army.

That’s what Timan Yaya Seid had understood. A young soldier who saw how unprofessional and biased the system was. In such a manner, that he was able to jump the line and get promoted in swift speed. He was able to go from lower rank into becoming a general. That’s what he did and he made it too.

He has since then been apprehended, arrested and awaiting charges. Certainly the folly will cost the man. The soldier will be made a number on, because he dared to challenge the ranks. That will sting and shows how malfunctioning things are… when a 26 year old man can figure it all out and get promoted to be General.

In one moment he had been crowned and would have been a proper army commander. He wouldn’t be a soldier or someone who you can easily order around. No, people would respect and honour him. Since he had the stripes and the title on his name.

Now after the arrest and possible charges. His being soon dismissed from the army. However, he has proven how bad the system is and how you can rig. The soldier could have possibly been in-charge and gotten huge responsibilities, if the authorities or the military intelligence services didn’t capture the fraud. Nevertheless, he still had the title and got the handshake of a fellow General. That’s saying something…

One last thing…. This the sort of story that deserves a movie. It would be fun to watch and you would wonder how he was able to pull it all off. Peace.
