I totally agree , all the western military should leave , and just allow the Fat general to sort out the jihadists himself and also pull the plug on all western influence, the general has promised to tackle all the inequality in Niger , obviously he has a great plan as and when the $2bn pa aid is pulled to include all the other western help , as for the loss of membership to the African organisations and what comes with that ! plus sanctions ? he probably has read the book on, how to survive in isolation !
This is not French country they still have their Colonial Mindset .!This is Africa Land not French we as Africans should stand together Amandla ✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Democracy is government of the people and by the people. If the people of Niger supports the military takeover in their country which obviously they do, then I think that is democracy too.
Its against western colonial interests, so its not a democracy. Democracy is not the will of people anymore, its just a flag of a geopolitical player. Whatever natives want doesn't matter.
ECOWAS may discuss the matter with the military leaders of Niger but they should never fight with their African brothers. The West wants their uranium and mineral resources. They have taken much. They should stop now.
We the good people of Nigeria 🇳🇬 support the people of Niger 🇳🇪. We dont have any reason whatsoever to wage war against our brothers and sisters. ECOWAS should let the people of Niger breathhhhhhhhe ✊️✊️✊️✊️
And then immediately begs for a Mercenary company for weapons. So much for defending its people and its rights by giving in to black market colonialism.
It's crazy that these people are not ashamed to talk about giving aid to countries that provide them with minerals and should be self-sufficient. Proof of the corrupt imbalanced system that they've created to keep these countries dependent on them.
It takes 2 to tango. If a woman doesn't want to marry you, married will not happen. So, a corrupt dictator agreed with foreigners to benefit both sides.
i'm glad to read that. africa needs to stand united to face the colonizers. they have more firepower than you, but if you all stand up together the level of massacre that would be needed would be more than what they are willing to do openly, because they try to pretend to be "the good guys".
According to the BBC, the historical record proves that French colonial rule established political systems designed to extract valuable resources while using repressive strategies to retain control. So did British colonial rule, but what was distinctive about France's role in Africa was the extent to which it continued to engage - its critics would say meddle - in the politics and economics of its former territories after independence. Worse still, the relationship between French political leaders and their allies in Africa was often corrupt, creating a powerful and wealthy elite at the expense of African citizens.
In 2010 alone, France took 4.8 billion for Uranium and only laid 1.9 million. Keep in mind Niger could pay back all of their World Bank Debt with 400 million. They don't have to be in poverty they just have to fight exploitation
Many leaders in ECOWAS nations face questions regarding their legitimacy. Their governance style often draws parallels to coup leaders, with Ghana frequently being highlighted as a notable exception in the context of West African democracies. A case in point is Cote D'Ivoire's Ouattara, who is currently in his third term, a move enabled by constitutional modifications and suppression of opposition voices. Furthermore, the lingering influence of colonial-era agreements poses challenges for several of these nations. These pacts can be viewed as a continuation of colonial practices, wherein countries lack full control over their export revenues. Western nations often appear to overlook these governance concerns unless their interests are directly threatened.
I just want to point this out. According to Freedom House... 🇫🇮 Finland (for context) - 100 🇨🇻 Cape Verde - 92 (highest in Africa) 🇺🇸 United States of America (for context) - 83 🇬🇭 Ghana - 80 (highest in continental Africa) 🇸🇳 Senegal - 68 🇸🇱 Sierra Leone - 63 🇱🇷 Liberia - 60 🇧🇯 Benin - 59 🇳🇪 PRE-COUP Niger - 51 (numbers for post-coup Niger are not yet available) 🇨🇮 Cote D'Ivoire - 49 🇬🇲 The Gambia - 48 🇬🇼 Guinea-Bissau - 43 🇳🇬 Nigeria - 43 🇹🇬 Togo - 42 🇲🇷 Mauritania (former member) - 36 🇧🇫 Burkina Faso (suspended member) - 30 🇬🇳 Guinea (suspended member) - 30 🇲🇱 Mali (suspended member) - 29 🇰🇵 North Korea (for context) - 3 🇪🇷 Eritrea (for context) - 1 So, as you can see, it is indeed true that most ECOWAS members have a lot of room for improvement, but, by African standards, they all do score pretty high, and all members in good standing do score considerably higher than former and suspended members. So ECOWAS countries must be doing at least one or two things right. In a democracy, unpopular governments are removed through elections, not force of arms. Ballots, not bullets, remember? And if the democracy is flawed, as is the case with all but a couple ECOWAS members, you fix it through democratic, constitutional means. Cape Verde and Ghana didn't always score so high. What you DON'T do is turn your back on the rule of law and hand absolute power over to an epauletted thug whose only legitimacy comes from the barrels of his guns. Once such people take power, they tend not to give it back.
Doesn't work that way... the thing about violent leaders is that opposing them risks violence against you. That's why you don't see counter demonstrations.

i do not blame the public in the countries of Europe for what the western leaders do. it is not the fault of people in towns and villages and they often have very miserable lives
Not as miserable as the people in Russia that started fighting whenever a supply truck arrives. Especially the elderly are suffering with more undernutrition. War is terrible.
What true tragedy this prime minister is talking about. All he was saying is not his own word but the ECOWAS, USA and France threatened him and put their word in him. Someone should take my father the prime minister home and relax.
I was also wondering. True tragedy is brothers ganging up against a fellow brother that’s trying to liberate himself. Tragedy is being the west’s puppet. That’s what true tragedy is

The demise of the French and Western occupation of the African continent and the world will be first with the demise of its slaves and agents and the President of Nigeria and ECOWAS is an example of that
I'm African from East Africa, 🇰🇪.. But west Africa really have to take care of the influence from the west coz many coups have been happening in West Africa.. God bless Africa 🌍
this former prime minister is calling in foreign power to wage war in his country to restore one person to power and claim that it is the better option. That is mindbogling
Why should Africans be fighting Africans? Why isn't this Aljacira channel isn't talking about the reasons stated behind the coup? How can a country producing so much of its resources yet poverty is the order of the day? Should Africans keep on following the same democratic system as the west or should African people create their own democratic system that suits their own culture and traditions. Africans should not fight the wars of a people who want to render others poor by stealing their resources while they enrich themselves and their own countries, now isn't that a new type of neocolonialism ?
These talking heads in Al Jazeera are trying hard to appease both sides. They talk in forked tongue, and frankly support the French neocolonial influence and support it gives to West AFrican nations who are still part of ECOWAS, a group of bought and paid for African leaders similar to the ARab league.
Who is giving aid here. France extract Uranium and pays only 13% worth of the exported value. Who owes who here. Time is up for closed up deals. Young Africans will not allow it to continue… all over Africa!
@@thebeast09876 After the military action took place supporters showed up supporting the military. Without the military we wouldnt see anybody on the streets.
Be prepared to hear the words "former French colony." with a subtle emphatic inflection on the word former to try and plant in your brain that the coup is unwarranted. Niger was effectively STILL a colony. Keep up the fight my brothers and sisters 🇳🇪✊️.
Being a colony was much much worse, but people throw that word around nowdays without having meaning behind it so why not. There wouldn't be local independent generals for example.
When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn. -Prov 29:2 Treat the people right and you won't have to worry about coups.
The US exports uranium, doesn't need to buy it 😂 Niger is like 4%of world production, people are making it seem like it is one of the only countries that has it.
I personally begin to wonder. Who elected Bazoum? Was it his own people or was it the colonial masters i.e france? Definately not his people. Because if it were his people that elected him and made him their president, he would have definately had more supporters more than the coup military leaders. But why are we seeing the opposite?
Because once the military is against him you're risking your neck trying to protest against them. And for a few hundred dollars you can get a huge crowd with the flag of your choice there, things might not be as simple as they seem.
A lesson to Africans and African leaders, grow your own food and innovate, innovate, innovate. You are not small kids that are treated as such.if you do not do what we want, there is going to be no aid. A loud and clear message. Nations of Africa you have the abundant land, people, go to the land and throw every seed you got to mother earth. Until you do not need aid, it will be used against you
Modern agriculture requires fertilizers, machinery and special seeds. All that comes almost exclusively from the west. No country is an island nowdays when it comes to production
We as Turkish people support our African and specially Nigerian brothers and sisters on their resistance against western goverments and colonialists. May Allah keep you all together, save and support you 🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷 The world is bigger than 5 Recep Tayyip Erdoğan
The spread of Islamic terrorism is literally the main factor of the coup, as France failed to push them back enough. Pretty sure they want less middle east influence, not more.
Aid aid and aid all the times and France don’t consider the damages he does in African countries. We no longer want France in Africa, let them be in their country and leave Africa alone.
History has thought us that people will support and call for military intervention when they are oppressed. Soon after, they will be calling for a democratic or a civilian led government when greed and military oppression sets in. We will see what happens in Niger, Mali, and Bokina Faso over time.
For one, while I'm sure the air where you are is really fresh, remember that in the real world all types of Ghanaian people carry out countless trade activities for which they travel beyond your borders daily into neighboring countries. Visa-free access of such people assists member economies. Also, while countries negotiate foreign trade independently, some significant international treaties are negotiated through the bloc. Finally, what will you do when refugees from conflicts in your neighboring Sahel country Burkina Faso and nearby Mali and Niger start streaming into your country?
Maybe it is not just the French who are the issue but the climatic and economic challeneges that create instability in the region, maybe trying to sort yourself out is complicated, trying to get people to agree on a course of action is very difficult. Is definitely a lot better than foreign intervention because this way the political establishments start to act differently, with more of it at stake than before.

This thieves since they don’t want to leave peacefully, they give no option other than remove them from power dead or live.
"Any aggression will be met with energetic and instantaneous response." I like that!
I don't blame them. They're done being exploited.
Lol, the Military junta will not exploit them.
How are they being exploited?
Without Africa France is nothing.
@@moss830Go to school.
they want to be exploited by China and Russia instead lol
He made clear that even the armed terrorist are on West sides 😂😂😂😂
I am glad Nigerien has finally understood who is opening and funding the terror group in that region
I went Niger to be at peace ✌️🕊️, but as we've seen from other militaries that promised to restore civilian rule or indeed any sensible rule of Law have not done so others are now fighting within others have brought in "mercenary groups" ....
I can only hope for the best and that is what real freedom is.
Kenya 🇰🇪 😢 deserve this because we as citizens we are suffering 😢😢
Selfish politicians
i do not blame the public in the countries of Europe for what the western leaders do.
it is not the fault of people in towns and villages and they often have very miserable lives
Not as miserable as the people in Russia that started fighting whenever a supply truck arrives. Especially the elderly are suffering with more undernutrition. War is terrible.
What true tragedy this prime minister is talking about. All he was saying is not his own word but the ECOWAS, USA and France threatened him and put their word in him.
Someone should take my father the prime minister home and relax.
I was also wondering. True tragedy is brothers ganging up against a fellow brother that’s trying to liberate himself. Tragedy is being the west’s puppet. That’s what true tragedy is
The coup leaders support the US they were trained by us special forces to fight terrorism lol they only hate France
Go home!
France: No
USA : No
😂
Сlosing air space lol. Why dont they learn making a bathroom first?
Arabs, British , French , Chinese, America, Russia should leave black people to decide how they want their countries to be
Black people are most welcome to leave those countries as well
@@WodospadPelagia If they weren't been explored by the rich countries maybe they hadn't the need to leave their land.
That’s sounds like a great idea we should stop sending billions of Americans money over to Africa let them get back to taking care of them selves because they have done that so well on there own 😂😂😂
@dospires or just work to make your homeland better place? It seems such an idea is not really considered an option in most African countries
@@anthonyfrederick9403which billions? If we had that in Africa don’t you think our countries would have been developed by now??? It’s America and other western countries that are feeding like leeches off of Africa. Which resources are in America or Western countries for them to fund Africa? America is even in debt.
I stand with Niger, grand rising my brothers and sisters it’s time.❤️🇭🇹✊🏾💪🏾
It's really sad that Africa has depended on western aid all this while
Why does AlJazira correspond speaks from Senegal? As I know Al Jazira isn’t prohibited from reporting in Niger.
Take your aid, the monies France steal from them alone can change the destiny. 😢😢😢😢
The demise of the French and Western occupation of the African continent and the world will be first with the demise of its slaves and agents and the President of Nigeria and ECOWAS is an example of that
France must feel ashamed for its stealing from Niger and other African nations.
Stay United Africa and Be Blessed
Is Britain (UK) not stealing from Nigeria and other Africans? Why are you people only focused on France. Leave France alone and let her breath please.
They have no shame...
@@princefred6377Every Western Nation
@@princefred6377Britain gave upbits empire but france got to keep it. Thats why
@@nirmalsiva1 exactly 💯
Why not rather focus on solving the reason for coups which is mostly corruption, bad governance, embezzlement etc...
Nigeria better stand down
wht!!also ghana,liberia,senegal,cote di voire,...!!!!
I'm African from East Africa, 🇰🇪.. But west Africa really have to take care of the influence from the west coz many coups have been happening in West Africa.. God bless Africa 🌍
what Nige is doing is the best way to do, if the pressure mounts let them handover the deposited president to the masses in the streets
this former prime minister is calling in foreign power to wage war in his country to restore one person to power and claim that it is the better option. That is mindbogling
Really appreciate your work my brother 🙏 the niger republic
Go ahead africa. We are with you.
Don't start if can't finish it.
"Energetic and instantaneous response"😂
May God have mercy
The people of Niger support this and will fight against all imperialism
Including russian backed imperialist coup leaders?
Why should Africans be fighting Africans?
Why isn't this Aljacira channel isn't talking about the reasons stated behind the coup?
How can a country producing so much of its resources yet poverty is the order of the day?
Should Africans keep on following the same democratic system as the west or should African people create their own democratic system that suits their own culture and traditions.
Africans should not fight the wars of a people who want to render others poor by stealing their resources while they enrich themselves and their own countries, now isn't that a new type of neocolonialism ?
A good question, why did africans sell africans as slaves?
AFRICA NEED TO JOIN TOGETHER ANS START using there resources to fix there country up and help there people.
Shame for UN shame for EU shame for OIC shame for France
Unfortunately these folks know no shame
If it is corrupts gov't then there is no reason why people will not revolt.
No interference, Nigeria needs to fight Boko haram, not a French course
These talking heads in Al Jazeera are trying hard to appease both sides. They talk in forked tongue, and frankly support the French neocolonial influence and support it gives to West AFrican nations who are still part of ECOWAS, a group of bought and paid for African leaders similar to the ARab league.
Who is giving aid here. France extract Uranium and pays only 13% worth of the exported value. Who owes who here. Time is up for closed up deals. Young Africans will not allow it to continue… all over Africa!
I hope Niger can rise to great heights
And this is a bunch of nonsense they don’t have the military to defeat ecowas
Why call it a 'FOREIGN POWER' just call it France
We support the coup in Niger!
We choose whatever will be the outcome over what we are going through now!! Viva Africa ✊🏿🖤
Supported from. Nigeria
It wasn't long ago when the Urkanian democratically elected president was ousted, what's the difference?
He wasnt ousted by military but by the population.
@@wokeaf1337 Poulation came on street in thousands if not millions supporting the military action.
@@thebeast09876 After the military action took place supporters showed up supporting the military. Without the military we wouldnt see anybody on the streets.
@@wokeaf1337 It's their land and their people, nothing to do with you. What's bothering you?
GET UP STAND UP.... STAND UP FOR YOU RIGHTS..... GET UP STAND UP..... DON'T GIVE UP THE FIGHT AFRICA.
Who advised ECOWAS to intervene militarily? Have they forgotten Niger is a sister country. Africa stand up ❤
Be prepared to hear the words "former French colony." with a subtle emphatic inflection on the word former to try and plant in your brain that the coup is unwarranted. Niger was effectively STILL a colony.
Keep up the fight my brothers and sisters 🇳🇪✊️.
Being a colony was much much worse, but people throw that word around nowdays without having meaning behind it so why not. There wouldn't be local independent generals for example.
The whole Africa is ready against any kind of wor.
Spoken like a true leader of an imaginary one country, one currency and one military in africa.
When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn. -Prov 29:2
Treat the people right and you won't have to worry about coups.
"Deadline for coup reversal expires"? What is this, an Amazon subscription?! 😂
It's time for Africa to get rid of all the Salve masters who have no interest in seeing g us thrive, VIVA Africa
Wow to women and children God have mercy for Africa
No more Free Uranium for USA 🇺🇸 And Europe 😂😂
The US exports uranium, doesn't need to buy it 😂 Niger is like 4%of world production, people are making it seem like it is one of the only countries that has it.
They thought it is a joke
🇿🇲 I support the junta
All African should support the Junta
Tnose 'AID' are the biggest source of problem to African countries more specific to French colonees .
I personally begin to wonder. Who elected Bazoum? Was it his own people or was it the colonial masters i.e france? Definately not his people. Because if it were his people that elected him and made him their president, he would have definately had more supporters more than the coup military leaders. But why are we seeing the opposite?
Because once the military is against him you're risking your neck trying to protest against them. And for a few hundred dollars you can get a huge crowd with the flag of your choice there, things might not be as simple as they seem.
Whole of Africa we are watching Nigeria🤟🏾 sellouts will not be tolerated!
A lesson to Africans and African leaders, grow your own food and innovate, innovate, innovate. You are not small kids that are treated as such.if you do not do what we want, there is going to be no aid. A loud and clear message. Nations of Africa you have the abundant land, people, go to the land and throw every seed you got to mother earth. Until you do not need aid, it will be used against you
Modern agriculture requires fertilizers, machinery and special seeds. All that comes almost exclusively from the west. No country is an island nowdays when it comes to production
@@rafael_lanauh, Taiwan? Oman? I can name quite a few countries that can do this

The spread of Islamic terrorism is literally the main factor of the coup, as France failed to push them back enough. Pretty sure they want less middle east influence, not more.
Tinubu should solve the problems at home first
Where was ECOWAS when NATO was after Gadafi?
We will be waiting for Ecowas
Let them
Aid aid and aid all the times and France don’t consider the damages he does in African countries. We no longer want France in Africa, let them be in their country and leave Africa alone.
😂😂😂😂No African will die for France or England or any western country for that case 😂😂😂😂
where did we hear that before " no african will sell another african"
They will, on a boat on the Mediterranean trying to make the cross when the situation gets much worse. Give if a few months sadly
Africa Unite 😢
History has thought us that people will support and call for military intervention when they are oppressed. Soon after, they will be calling for a democratic or a civilian led government when greed and military oppression sets in. We will see what happens in Niger, Mali, and Bokina Faso over time.
WE HAVE MORE THAN ENOUGH IN NIGER 🇳🇪 TO DEVELOP OUR COUNTRY WE DON'T NEED YOUR HELP
For the life of me i still don't even know why Ghana is a part of ECOWAS. What has Ghana gained been a part of ECOWAS?
I just want 3 answers.
why is any anglophone country in ecowas
For one, while I'm sure the air where you are is really fresh, remember that in the real world all types of Ghanaian people carry out countless trade activities for which they travel beyond your borders daily into neighboring countries. Visa-free access of such people assists member economies. Also, while countries negotiate foreign trade independently, some significant international treaties are negotiated through the bloc. Finally, what will you do when refugees from conflicts in your neighboring Sahel country Burkina Faso and nearby Mali and Niger start streaming into your country?
U are in a better position to trade if u are part of a union, more people, bigger economy etc...
Shame to ecowas, AU and nato
How is nato relivent? Is it just a catch all word to Project your anger too?
Maybe it is not just the French who are the issue but the climatic and economic challeneges that create instability in the region, maybe trying to sort yourself out is complicated, trying to get people to agree on a course of action is very difficult. Is definitely a lot better than foreign intervention because this way the political establishments start to act differently, with more of it at stake than before.
You literally contradicting yourself,or you’re confused.The ECONOMIC challenges are caused by the French.Clear as that
@@NickTamaire “it is not the french who are the issue”…and goes on to count problems inflicted by France on us
@@Pops_cxxl I think that what I mean to say that it is not just the French who are to blame, living in one of the most inhospitable countries, surrounded by other countries in a similar situation, can make it rather hard to grow an economy.
