I'd argue that there are still plenty of accidents. But your second, third, fourth, and fifth points are all spot on. This particular killing reeks of deliberate orders being given and followed.
The actual accidents, usually involve equipment failure, and the people killed are almost always the people using said equipment.
Say that in a year when it's revealed that the Junta is using slave labor in the mine that they seized.
Military dictatorships are never good for the people. Full stop. We have thousands of years of examples of militaristic rulers, from warlords to kings. Every single time someone seizes power in a coup, the people suffer for it.
I understand why he wanted to. Fighting off the unprovoked invasion from Russia does tend to sap a country's attention. But even so, it's the duty of democracies to fight against dictatorships. Or at least it should be... I can't say that many live up to even that low bar... But I'd still take even a broken democracy over any form of dictatorship.
They literally suffered from a military coup two years ago.
Gen Tiani rules the country with an increasingly iron fist. He has promised a return to civilian rule, but those promises keep slipping. First it was three years, now two years later, it's another five years.
The money is being concentrated in Gen Tiani's hands, and nowhere else.
He's abandoned much of the country to Jihadists, while only securing the capital...
Although that's technically not true, he's brought in mercenary units from other countries, including the Wagner Group, (the Russian neo-Nazi brigade that tried to coup Putin)
Tiani has given the mercenaries free rein in the countryside, as long as they help protect his capital.
And like any other dictatorship, the war against the media has been intense, with even random bloggers being disappeared off the street.
I can't find any actual evidence that the Military Junta is in any way popular...
They seem to have crashed the economy, then implemented a law that lets the military rob from the rest of the government in order to enrich themselves.
They partnered with various mercenary groups, including the Wagner group, to put down juhadists and dissidents as if those were the same thing...
Pretty much exactly what you'd expect from a military dictatorship.
The thing is, when Trump kicks the bucket, Vance will promptly be ignored.
Trump picked Vance for being a completely nonthreatening to Trump's power.
