Inside Niger: 'France is taking us for idiots' - BBC Africa

- In Niger, after a two month stand-off between the junta and France, the French ambassador has left the country and French troops are getting ready to pull out. Emmanuel Macron said he’d taken the decision to leave the country because Niger was no longer interested in fighting terrorism.
In late July, Niger became the fourth former French colony in the Sahel to go through a coup in just three years. The political upheaval threatens to destabilise a region already struggling to contain groups linked to ISIS and Al Qaeda.
Mayeni Jones gained rare access to Niger and sent this report.

Please BBC just tell the truth, nobody wants France in Niger🙂.
THANK YOU ,I AM GLAD YOU NOTICED THAT THE BBC CANNOT YELL THE TRUTH.
I WAS JUST SAYING THE SAMETHING!!
THE WESTERN'S PROPAGANDA BRAINWASHED IMPÉRIALISM 😮 VIVE L'AFRIQUE ET LA LUTTE CONTUNUE
Thank you for speaking the truth.
And Emmanuel Macron take your military and get out of Africa and take your puppet Mohamed Bazoum back to Paris France with you.
May God always grant total Victory and REVOLUTION, to all of the good people of
Niger, 🇳🇪🇳🇪🇳🇪
Burkina Faso, 🇧🇫🇧🇫🇧🇫
and
Mali, 🇲🇱🇲🇱🇲🇱
Africa.
And Vice Versa.
Niger in France is : Persona Non Grata.
You don’t speak for everyone
Good to see African countries assert their independence from the colonial usurpers
Until the m23 rebels start robbing hospitals for radiological materials
@@terransunited M23 rebels are in Congo not Niger. And the M23 is militarily supported by Rwanda (who is supported by WESTERN nations).
@@MrXlee1967 I didn't know Islamic terrorists slitting children's throats, was fictional writings, I'm glad no suicide bombers ever existed in the real world
Superiors*
@@terransunitedLol you think France was helping these countries they were absolutely looting them extremely just google France most of their lights from these countries uranium and also many materials for other purposes.
We, indeed have been "idiots" for a while for many reasons. Lest we forget, there are people who are still willing and working hard to keep not only the French but anyone who can guarantee their interests.
such people are enemies of the states of Africa

It's always the Corrupted politicians including yours who sold you out to the French Aristocracy. BUT the World's population enslaved by these Globalists are rising to change all of that!
It’s clear French must leave we everything we need in fact they need us to survive that’s why they don’t want to leave.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@user-ll6mc4pt5e what’s funny soon u going to pay reparation and return our artifacts in good faith .
Everything you need....🤔 stable government....stable banks....stable economy....your own stable electricity supply....stable....schools and education system....🤥....well don't worry China and Russia will soon be there to help....😮
@@jimmason1072 Find your own uranium in the french countryside, your electricity prices are about to rocket!
@@AT-gu8by Canada produces 3.5 times as much as Niger....Australia 2 times....it's China and Russia who want to control things.....so they will get your Niger uranium and use it for themselves....and they won't pay any better than France....and why....because you can't do anything about it....
Not only France all colonizers should be out of Africa 💪💪
Yeah and let them all kill each other
All Africans in France should also go back to Africa.
That's HYSTERICAL!! Africans are COLONISING EUROPE!! There are DOUBLE the amount of Africans in Europe than White people in Africa.
💯 facts
I am also in favor of stopping all aid - financial aid for development (billions of euros and dollars), humanitarian and military peace missions. When it's over, it's over, it's not a buffet ahhh this is juky... I don't want that ohhh This is okay, I'll keep it. This is a bottomless hole and the time has come for all African countries to start standing on their own feet and calculate everything at their own expense and account.
we should all leave and leave them to build their own country, the way they wish. Be that good or bad. That will be up to them.
Simple
They've been saying this for a long time. But France don't know how to take NO for answer.
France wasn’t trying to help build there country, France was making sure they never build the country, and make sure they stay poor so they can continue to steal their resources
but how are you going to steal from them when you are not in there ?
@@peterr7777 France has a huge military base there, it’s been there for over 40 years, France is there because Niger has the second most uranium in the world, France is powered by huge nuclear power plants that gives electricity to all of the French citizens, they need uranium to power their nuclear power plants, and they’ve been stealing it from Niger, Niger has kicked them out and if they want uranium they must pay full price for it
France was there to protect the uranium not fighting terrorism 😅
& the cobalt
Whaaat? A colonizer cares more about it's interests than the local issues? No way. Well, is someone who's lived in Africa for many years, it's a sad reality but most countries that were colonized did significantly worse in the decades following the departure of their colonizers. Creating a massive power vacuum in a poor country never goes well...
France and European Union sprnt billiards euros for Sahel ngo and development projects !!I France can buy a lot of uranium in another country with it. Good luck !
French involvement in Africa has been an anathema 😊
Creating, Bringing terrorism and claiming "I'm the only one who can combat it" : France
Terrorism is the excuse of the colonialist usurper France. Ask Algerians about it.
China did not enter Africa by force and with weapons... as the Europeans did...
Because africa have guns now. When Europe first came they had spears and bows and fought like french did 1000 years ago
Europe is not a country, btw
@@jpb2366leave us with our poverty at least we had peace
@@nicolenims3850 did you ? or too blind to see the difference
Sovereignty has its ups and downs. But, colonialism can only be its worst alternative. Let Nigeriens be free. Let them enjoy their sovereignty... land, resources, culture, nature, and the common ancestral bond. Let them make mistakes and learn from them. No country is perfect. The colonialists aren't perfect in their countries.
If we were to learn from history, then we would understand that each civilization has had its low and dark moments... and its high and bright moments. It may be low and dark in Niger now, but it is a turning point... a moment of ascendancy. The future is bright if Nigeriens keep their sovereign dreams alive. They must remain vigilant and watch out for sellouts under the colonial tutelage who may creep back and steal their sovereignty.
The colonialists have not withdrawn but just gone back to the drawing board. These incorrigible colonial parasites die hard. If Africans have to regain their sovereignty, they must remain eternally vigilant against these diabolic colonial parasites and their disguises.
The BBC should have the nuts to tell who created those terrorists. Didn't Gadaffi warn about it? EUROPE is 95% responsible for the creation of those terrorists,so take responsibility.
Truth is Islam is responsible. You wont see something like that in a buddhist country
Congratulations to Niger! Africa is gradually freeing itself from the Nazis who occupied their territory.
Since when has the BBC reported truthful news about Africa lol 😂😂😂
It’s because this is BBC Africa so the content is more balanced. You’ll notice they actually use Africans to report. The regular BBC that airs in the West will probably have a different narrative.
@@thezu9250probably a very twisted narrative if the BBC in the West reported this news
@@user-rl7mt4gh3o No one said Africa is perfect. Its a well known fact that media changes based on who is reporting it.
@@thezu9250Bruh the coups happened because of west puppet leaders so being African will never make you honest it is just the personality
The lady is eloquent, clear and has good diction
Why is it that BBC Africa assumes Africans' accents can't be understood and subtitles must be used?
Subtitles are applied to all of our videos for accessibility purposes.
Because not everyone speaks French
@@BBCAfrica i mean...youtube has close caption and you can write the subtitles yourself...why force it
@@basiwolf9147
The woman was speaking in French.
@Agromercantile1705 Its Another from of racism. Anytime a black person speaks captions are used to reforce negative stereotypes about black people not being able to speak clearly.
Him: France provide of us with the intelligence that help us beat the terrorists
Me: You mean help you beat the terrorists they created in the first place? 😒
Islam created the terrorist… not the french wtf drugs are you on ?
True thing France has created this terrorism in Niger they continue to kill our people ever since till to date this is not fair at all, these people are so evil... BLAQ HEART 🖤🇿🇦
THIS IS THE LAST TIME I CLICK ON A BBC VIDEO BRO THERE STUPID AS HELL
Lol
Soo true
I understand some of their fear, but the majority rule and hopefully 🙏 the leaders will prove them otherwise. Some of our people are so mentally traumatized by colonialism they can’t see that the westerners do not have their best interests at hand. They were worst off when the France 🇫🇷 troops arrived. Really sad 😔
Most of our ppl have colonized minds and love their enemy!
Niger doesn’t have to prove anything to France. It is a sovereign country you sound like you still have a colonial mentality. France and other Western countries uses these terrorist groups as a disguise while they steal your resources, and as an excuse to stay on your soil like you are a baby, do you think they would allow it to happen to them if it was the other way around?
Western hypocrisy at its highest.
It’s not fear it’s the truth you don’t live in Africa
😅😅😅 you're just an European who loves telling lies thinking we Africans do not know anything....
French out for good! Hopefully US out for good! Now there will be no excuse for poverty… unless the new government is corrupt. And hopefully US taxpayers get no demands for aid. Just possible trade between the countries. Countries should just be trading with each other.
The usa doesn’t give aid to Africa lol
Just be careful, if the French want stick to you they can, so at lease play nice.
Am sure your country cannot even make a simple matchbox.
@@kolijasembo7634 How arrogant must one be to make a statement like this? I can only expect a comment like this from arrogant westerns who think they rule the world.
Watch the french and U.S tell ISIS to make a move xD
Long life to the revolution of united states'of Africa in niger
Mashallah! Allahumma barik! May Allah grant the people of Niger goodness!
I fell to understand why us Africans over slept when the white boys and girls remained awake. History has it that the person called John Cecil Rods took the task to construct a rail line from cape town to Egypt for the purpose of ferrying precious stones to Europe while we were fast snoring. It is really good that we have woken up from slumber and the pen drum has changed the direction of swinging.
It's true
Yes blame it on Cecil Rhodes, and while you do that, the Chinese and the Russians with their wagner group keep on stealing your wealth. And don't forget the politicians they are stealing as well, but don't worry you can always come to Europe and get a job mopping the floor 😉. Good luck 👍.
You're one of those who always assume that Africans were just asleep.
Certain things that others put a lot of value into, Africans didn't put value into those things in the same manner.
That's why from the start Africans were exploited for their natural resources. Their needs and objectives were different, their vision of the world was different and never one of dominating and controlling all and everything.
They weren't asleep, just not partaking in the same plan from the start.
It's called education. If people can't use common sense to move where they live instead of walking miles for water. Then they will always be backwards
I don’t think these African have woken up at all , kicking France out changes nothing because they still control their entire banking system, they are talking about the wrong thing , not to mention USA forces are still in the country why don’t they kick them out too? There’s no difference between USA and France when it comes to Africa .
May Allah bring goodness and health to the people of Niger.
France should leave now not at end of year, as they claim they will
AFRICA is highly intelligent people...dont let for France say pull your Man down.
France don't care about AFRICA. Only AFRICA RICHES as uranium. AFRICA RICHES belongs to AFRICA NOT France
Why no one is talking about how we got there . Who created the problem by destroying Libya in first place
Niger has the Right to Self-determination!!!!
very good report :-) very informative!
Forever grateful for Argentina and Messi for beating France in the World cup final and making those racist cry
Argentina is as racist as France.
Argentinians are even more racist than the French.
As if Argentina is not racist 😂 go and ask what they did with Black you will see Argentina is bloody racist
Les premiers racistes étaient les supporters argentins qui ne reconnaissaient pas nos stars comme M'bappe en tant que français à part entière. Alors tu comprends vraiment rien 😂
Shut up with that stupidity.
Argentinians are way more racist believing they are pure white race and thinking French that do not look white cannot exist at all.
very good report ... :-) very informative!
Africa awakening......
As a former peace corps volunteer- long ago- in a village between Goure and Zinder- there was a coup d’ Etat…..my family there( Nigerian family) we hung out. I can assure you, in the villages, they are just trying to survive. And not die. They don’t understand politics. Most don’t know anything past the 3rd grade. The US Peace corps has left. Many years ago. I think about mariamma, kookoo, Adam, Esau….all my brothers and sisters.
God bless my African brothers and sisters God bless Africa
Now why would they do something like that
How far north did the BBC team go? Be interesting to know.
when the americans started to visit france back in the 60 s and onward americans who are brash enough considered the french as very arrogant till they realised the potential of le big mac et le coca ei les frites , and still they remain arrogant , enough to wear loads of perfume rather than bathing
You are talking about the n.ggerd who do stink yes.
Does it make sense to love someone more than himself????
Not just France
Balanced reporting. We need more of this
Very rare ! BBC is usually propaganda
Many thanks for the kind comment. Here are some other stories on Niger: th-cam.com/video/VkvZMpOfQ0I/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/EvocNCuHe6Y/w-d-xo.html

Wait... you are not idiots?
The sheik aske a very puzzling question, how come Macron is recognizing Juntas in Gambia, Chad, Togo and constitution violator in ivory coast
Why is life so hard
Is this the uk
I'm not convinced that all this is about the French security concern in niger 😂😂
❤❤❤
Yes I agree , you don’t need them
The country is peaceful nothing more nothing less
Oh make an effort! Around 100 people demonstrated in front of the presidential palace for Bazoum, people so confortable for decades : they run away at the first gun shot in the air.
Normal people go back to demonstrate when 52 persons I killed by army in Tchad or 6 dead with hundreds injured while the french militaries where moving in Niger
Why is it named that
:["Not for idiots?"]
Surely God is able surely you are able
That ex government spokesperson is speaking for himself and not the nigériens
Imagine a Country that elected Macron as president looking down at some other Countries ...🤣🤯
The State has the ultimate power in a country, to vitiate a contract for being unconscionable, unfair, below market value or contrary to public policy, or for the benefit of public interest. So, Niger has to cancel those unfair, corrupt contracts signed by corrupt leaders. The government can also nationalize the uranium mines as a matter of state security. Considering the French policy of colonial tax, interest charges for printing Franc-afriq currency, interest from compulsory foreign reserves in French central bank, it is , it is only reasonable that Niger nationalizes all its natural resources, and invite companies worldwide to bid for infrastructure development and resources development contracts under the nationalized system.
You keep thinking that French are the British. British has colonies that was to make them money. French had colonies because the British had colonies. French don't give a damn about the uranium. The French don't have colonies because they have commercials interests. Don't confuse them with the British.
No peace without war
Lets go Africa,rise up the black kids!
It is good that France was finally shown the door. But is there going to be any good coming out of?, only time will tell. But looking back at Africas history after the colonialists left nothing much positive there.
Who wouldn’t?😂
I am from 🇮🇳
I can tell you what percentage of the population wants France to leave 99.9 percent.
Thats why they can not allow to let people speak their mind? It will end in civil masacre, as they always end in Africa. when military regime takes power. They will pray French military to come back, but they will be left there to die, sadly :/
Hey world, Don't underestimate em, They are Smart😂😂
And finally the divorce has happened
#Wake up Africa
Who supply terrorist with weapon and food?
French still keeping the Uranium.
They do have a point, France can't support junta in Chad and try to condemn same elsewhere
That's how Western Imperialists normally behave.....their principle is THEIR OWN ECONOMIC INTERESTS!!
They only support coups that benefit them.
Those who oppose are always in suit
Fastest growing economy in Africa
Not a coincidence
Stop allowing them
So is america.
fighting terrorism in niger for decades 😂😂😂😂
France out of Africa ! Yes. Africans out of France ? Oh OUI !!! 🙏
*Niger, Chad, Sudan, Burkina Faso, Guinea, Gabon, Mali, Myanmar. under Military government.*

You are !!!!!
Bbc news be like As if god made western countries to care for africa and africans are naughty childrens not listening to them😂😂
A divorce long overdue.

can French leave Africa? Do they not remember what happened in Haiti…yeah it will happen again if they press the wrong buttons.

BBC, you will never accept Western countries defeat 😂😂😂
Niger does not have the academic prowess or military capability to defend itself with neighboring countries assisting. Stop lying. You will lean on Nigeria, Mali and others for assistance heavily.
Says who, you?😮😮😮
Lol you’re lost, there isn’t any terrorist, that’s all a façade the terroristare paid for and trained and armed by France the US and the rest of NATO, its called political instability, they keep a country unstable and poor so they can steal the resources, Niger is the second poorest country in the world, and France has been stealing uranium from this poor country to keep the lights on in France plus they sale some of the uranium that they steal from Niger and sales it for billions, the USA has built a 500 million dollar military base in Niger, the painting right to train a terrorist and steal resources lol the gig is up
If you have been to any francophone African nation you will know the level of plundering that France has managed to sustain for almost a century. It is normal for them to be dependent on their neighbors for a while till they find their balance. Absolutely normal. Ukraine will depend on the EU and US for the next half century after this war is over. Africa has not benefitted anything tangible directly from the west. It's all media hogwash. Despite China's antics and shortcomings, it has benefitted Africa in 2 short decades more than 100 years of western influence.
Don’t forget Nigeria has a puppet government to the west
Bravo Niger 💪
France must go.
And make sure that America does not come in either. No westerns in our African countries.
This reminds me of how Ukraine started
My sympathy is always with the underdogs. But what take u so long to realize that "France is taking us for idiots" ??? Be wise now, claim REPARATION while u can.
like african countries and leaders are any different to European leaders, must be all saints running africa.
Hopefully, they aren’t trading one demon for yet another.
Why's that your concern. Isn't democracy about what majority of the people agreed on. The real DEVIL 👿 is the French and all western powers in Niger.
They are the demon.
Only time will tell.
No Demon is worse than French.

Why is that there are Terrorist in Africa and middle middle East but not Europe or America and they we always look at Arab as terrorist not brothers and sisters then in most American movies they paint Arab as terrorist then Africa the poorest continent yet it is rich in minerals.

It would have been nice to see any infrastructure France has built in that country since it has been there for centuries.
They don't build anything, their military has been there since 2013 yet they couldn't fight off weak terrorist what use were they to start off.
Infrastructure? France was there to take not give. If there is any infrastructure, it was for their benefit.
