      @@Agoateeman you meant to say France provided crumbs to Niger in return for looting their national resources? This aid thing is another weapon used against the people of Africa to cover up the huge exploitation carried out against them.
      Africa has all the resources they need, they don't need bread crumbs disguised as aid from Europe and America which almost always comes with strings attached. They should be treated as equal partners in business for them to rise up and sustain themselves, instead of having these one sided transactions that benefit the west more than the people of Africa.

But there are 2 countries that are desperate for it - France and the USA. and they don't want to pay fairly for it, and they both could only get Uranium from Russia or Niger. And they don't want to be dependent on the Russian resources. If they make the country more unstable, and blame Russia for the coup - even better. They could extract the Uranium for free.

    Other than conveniently leaving aside the real reason for the recent spate of coup d'etats in Africa, she did a good job of carrying water for the West. It was interesting to note that while she named the countries where the coup d'etats took place, she omitted the coup d'etat in Tchad, which is a coup d'etat in favour of France. Good English does not mean good journalism. Do not think people are stupid. In many African countries, the level of geopolitical awareness is very high. They may be poor, but they are not stupid. They will no more automatically listen to old feckless puppet politicians. When the right conditions occur no one will be able to hold this generation of africans back. That is what they are after and they have nothing more to lose in this pursuit.

I know it's been happening in Kenya which is considered as one of Africa's most successfully democracies. Bazoum has only been in Power for 2yrs yet he's the escape goat they're using to blame for all the country's failures. The very people who overthrew the gov't are the ones who have been previously running the country.

      Totally agree, its the west creating the issues and lining the pockets of those at the top to stay on the side of the west. If the west truly cared they'd be building huge infrastructure, providing health care etc. But instead France is raping and pillaging its former colonies. I'm in New Zealand we are independent of the British Empire but still part of the commonwealth yet we do not have British troops based in our country. Why do the French have troops in all of the former French colonies? Niger according to the article had peace for 13 years a good achievement. When the coup happened the commander stated that the French remove their troops. That to me is the clear reason of it happening.

So whatever corruption the leaders commit in their country against their people will be covered and the Western leaders will turned a blind eye to it, provided that leader will be transferring his huge looted funds to their country and not be in opposition to the West. Russia and China are better that any Western country in terms of sincerity, relationship with any nation and especially, the African nations. Their business proposals are based on mutual benefits of both sides, and they're the only countries that are interested in seeking to build and to help others progress and develop.

    "and this one's very important", so Wagner's presence(no proof they're in Niger yet) is more important than France's exploitation OR terrorists actions? France, US and Germany were present in the country but terrorists were allowed to run amock. This led to the coup. The president is from an ethnic group that is 0.4% of the population, he was NOT fairly voted into power, it was passed down to him. If we admit what the issues were, those involved can find a solution to the problems that led to the coup in the first place. All nations present in that country must take seriously the tasks of fighting terrorism and developing the nation, as well as sharing profits from their resources with the people.

    • @robertkeaney9905

      Wagner's presence in Mali hasn't done much to improve the security situation. In fact, insurgents have used the instability caused by the withdraw of UN security forces to seize more territory. And attacks by Muslim extremist have actually increased there since the UN withdrawal.
      I cannot speak on the veracity of your other claims. But we have seen in Mali that Wagner is not effective against Insurgent forces there.
