France has been kicked out of Chad and has been scrambling to exit it's old colony by December 31st.
France was involved in 26 coups in Africa since the 1960s and helped assassinate 22 African leaders. Fourteen African nations were STILL paying taxes to France at the start of the decade. The number is now rapidly decreasing. After the Chad exit France will no longer have official bases in West Africa.
Congratulations to Chad for this huge step!

It's an interesting one, taking it seriously.
I can understand how some in the #usa want to avoid the subject, but in doing so you won;t be meeting anyone from #Chad, #Romania #Croatia or #Ghana if you filter #politics
They all have imminent elections and I'm sure they will being talking politics and it's a good thing they are surely?
Chad’s foreign minister on Thursday said his country was putting an end to its military cooperation with former colonial power France, saying “Chad has grown up, matured and is a sovereign state that is very jealous of its sovereignty”. Chad was France’s last foothold in the Sahel and has been a key partner for its military presence in Africa.#Africa #Chad #France

Zamierzam w tym tygodniu odwiedzić szpital psychiatryczny, w którym byłem 48 dni (od połowy maja do początku lipca tego roku) i porozmawiać z Panią z biblioteki, która bardzo pomogła mi w trudnych chwilach i pewnie nawet nie zdaje sobie z tego sprawy.
Rozmowę chcę przekuć w pierwszy odcinek mojego 
podcastu 
, który roboczo nazwałem RADIO ▲ЯM▲GƎDD∅N.
Póki co stworzyłem dwa zwiastuny, które dostępne są na tym landingu:

Zbieżność nazwy podcastu z tytułem książki Jakuba Żulczyka nie jest przypadkowa. Uwielbiam Kubę i tę książkę. Podcast Kuby i Julka Strachoty (#CoĆpaćPoOdwyku)... chyba uratował mi życie.
Opracowałem już krótki scenariusz rozmowy (w punktach, na załączonym screenie).
Oczywiście nie będę zadawał tych pytań literalnie, bo liczę na swobodną i spontaniczną rozmowę (ale chcę mieć w głowie plan).
Jeśli macie jakieś pytania, które warto byłoby zadać lub sugestie, to zachęcam do zamieszczania ich w komentarzach.
