Myth: The Third World w/ Vijay Prashad Pt. 2

In part 2, we explore the history of the Third World with the Soviet Union, the different characters of a one party state post-national liberation, and the activity in the Sahel region of Africa including the most recent coup in Niger. Vijay lays out the historical context that has led to the current coups in the region. He also clarifies how the Third World became known as an impoverished, backward place for missionary-like charity.

"Niger is the fourth country in the Sahel to experience an anti-Western coup"
