In Central African Republic, French soldiers were present when Wagner forces arrived, significantly altering the situation.

Similarly, in Mali, French soldiers witnessed a bloodless coup when Wagner-supported soldiers intervened.

In Burkina Faso, the presence of French soldiers didn't prevent another bloodless coup facilitated by Wagner-supported forces.

Niger, with the presence of French and other foreign troops, as well as American drone bases and troops, experienced yet another bloodless coup when Wagner-supported soldiers appeared.

The recurring theme of bloodless coups in these regions raises questions about the perception of Russia's capabilities, and one might wonder if it's just bluster.

From my perspective, it appears that foreign soldiers may not always be in these countries to support the government in power, but rather to secure access to valuable resources. Their focus tends to be on the regions where their companies are engaged in resource extraction from Africa. As long as the government upholds policies that allow these companies to exploit African resources, they may not be concerned with the central government's stability. In fact, they might not even be aware of the president's status. This could explain why situations like the bloodless coup on July 26, 2023, in Niger can occur despite the presence of a significant foreign military presence, much like what happened in Mali and Burkina Faso.
