SMOKING GUN
1. In post 1991, following the victory over Saddam in the gulf war, destroying him became the project. Allegations of chemical weapon used on Iraqis was all over western medias without proof until one was manufactured in Halabja, a Kurdish town.

2.And Suleiman Doud al- Afari was made the fall guy. Piled with the WMD hoax, invading Iraq was mission accomplished. Millions dead & millions more in exile, while the missile ruins and scatters everywhere, no apology or compensation from the west, Just moved on.
3. Enter Syria. Bashar as an anti West in a region that has to be beholden to western ideals, so has to go. Allegations of a massacre in the town of Allepo was made with ''manufactured'' proofs. But to gain more traction, CSOs were funded to commence human right demonstrations.
4. Eight years later with tens of thousands dead & millions in exile plus once thriving ancient cities in ruins, no apology or compensation, Just moved on.
Enters Libya. A Quadafi spearheading an independent Arab region for decades have to be settled. Allegations of clamp down
5. on oppositions and human right violations again started. Then suddenly there was a ''massacre'' in Benghazi. CSOs suddenly sprang up everywhere well funded making spurious & confusing demands. France & Britain under the supervision of Hilary Clinton,
6. moved in with their War machines to deliver democracy. Eight years later, with tens of thousand dead, millions in exile & a once prosperous nation crumbled, no apology or compensation, Just moved on.

7. Washington DC asking for the returns of BILLIONS OF DOLLARS in ( a forbidden request''. And when he was turned down, had the effrontery to ignore them and face China.; an age long rival. Suddenly NGOs & CSOs of every shade sprang up with millions of dollars in funding from
8. EU, Ford foundation, Mac Arthur foundation, etc, asking for every form of rights & making any kind of demand imaginable. They were disappointed when NLC backed down from a planned protest & they did not hide their displeasure as that was a fertile ground to launch.
9. That's the foreign interest angle. Then in the country is an opposition that simply wont accept the result of an election that they lost. Its either they are in power or everybody looses one way or another. Add to the probes that's affecting their loots, the fight is set.
10.. Then came #endsars and boom, but instead of Buhari to resist their demands, he kept acceding to them making the protest hard to sustain. The main agenda has to come out early;Antagonise the govt, let them fight back, still Buhari refused to bite. The only option left is to
10. Create a smoking gun; LEKKI TOLL MASSACRE. From 78, down to 38, down to 17, now at 1. CNN was called in to help out with what they are good at but too bad- too late. The plot has blown, the script is lost. But don't be deceived: THE AGENDA IS STILL ACTIVE, 31 months left.
