Appear to be all NSA server farm internet based. They must deroute internet traffic to scan for keywords to then further by hand and eyes on qualify individuals for further spionage activity. They will look for all in West Africa that help economic progress and thereby are activly creating feedom and independence for their sourrounding. This can be done from distance to then send killers, thieves and even kidnappers at a target.
The best way to counter these efforts is to create in centers of West Africa closed dedicated communication networks using open source homegrown hardware and software dedicted to the local needs.
All business is local.
In Victoria Island Lagos harbours West Africas small trade center. This center has no digital support and is still in pre-digital age. If Nigeria pushes Western technology in or BRISC build alternatives they just decide who can surveille them and choosing the lesser evil is no good.
The West African community of Universities has already enough resources to found Start-Ups creating dedicated hardware and software to build on places such as Victoria Island local networks for transport routing by foot and vehicle, making appointements locally, understanding where to find which products and trade companies and to connect with. By using mesh network and P2P technology, beowulf cluster designes, open standards those centers can be supported with way more affordable and reliable secure hardware and software than any northern hemisphere economy can offer.
I am sure the next technological revolution will come from such places in the 3rd World no matter if Sao Paolos Favelas, Lagos Markets or Jakartas Slums and it will be a sociallising one actually practicing what is just marketing in our failing society or what you think how many new good friends we meet online in Facebook or TikTok, my African fellas in TITW? (this is the west)
