Another thing I've been trying to get a handle on is the internal politics of these countries and how that has changed over time. Also the sort of pro-junta intellectuals and what they believe. It's a very weird sort of Ankh-wearing pan-African nationalism that is anti-Western (particularly anti-French) but ultra-conservative as well. There's a new religious movement called Kemetism which has tried to construct a religion around ancient Egyptian gods and holds that ancient Egyptians were black. There's this one guy Kemi Seba who is like a black fascist, a big zigger fag and Alexander Dugin fan as well. It's like this:

But you'll see these types also appropriate historical figures like Kwama Nkrumah or Thomas Sankara, who were leftist leaders. Then you have Western leftists who have cheered on these juntas, but it's not the same thing because the left-wing regimes back in the 1960s in these countries were often critical of the "traditional society" like chiefdoms or ethnic caste systems.
