When even News24 is saying this and going against the western narrative, you know it's obvious.

He overthrew Alpha Condé, 85, on 5 September that year, after taking part in the US Army's special forces commanders' course.

That happens to be the same training received by Colonel Assimi Goita, who is the same age, and was a leader in Mali's coup.

(The USA is not proud of that.)

Are you sure about that? I think the US is pretty happy with this, reduces French influence in Africa, kills the French sovereign neocolonial project of Francafrique. Gives the US room to operate in.
