Kenya is a lost cause. The Sahel--if not suppressed by ECOWAS and Nigeria, may become true socialist states.
But like you said
The US has been increasing their military presence in W.Africa, and their most used tools (terrorists) are getting louder and braver as the days pass.
What makes you say Kenya is a lost caused? The CPM-K has been rising pretty quickly if I'm not mistaken, and the current president's behavior has sparked quite a bit of discontent. I don't think it's as likely as the Sahel, but the infrastructure for a revolution looks farther along then most other places to me.
At the very least, it may cool anticom activity for a moment.
The people have the fire for revolting against their own government, not against western ideologies. How can they become a true socialist state if they look towards Washington, London, or Paris for guidance?
Don't forget France's interests in all of that.
The French are at the helm. They, the US, and the Nigerian government are working together.
And let's no forget the Ukrainian presence in Africa
Ukraine has been aiding the terrorist effort since 2015. My hatred of that nation is at the same level as my hate towards the US Military Industrial Complex.
They basically got kicked out, even Gabon & Madagascar were usurped by the US. At best they get tossed some of the rinds.
