  1. If a coup d'etat is a 'no' against French exploitation, you've said 'no' five times already, four times to no avail. Fifth time lucky? How about voting in a government democratically that says 'no' to France? ECOWAS can't act against an democratically elected government, and neither can France or the USA for that matter.

  2. Explain to us how a coup marks a turning point for Africa. Africa has had 107 "successful" coups to date, and as many failed attempts. If a coup is a turning point, Africa must be spinning constantly!

  5. If you had written 'neo-colonialism', you would've had a smidgen of a point. Also, have you heard of mirrors?

  6. Niger's sudden love affair for Russia is akin to letting a known murderer into your house, with the excuse that said murderer hasn't murdered anyone in your house or in the vicinity. He's busy murdering in Ukraine as we speak, but again, that's not your vicinity.

  7. Don't beat yourself up about it. Instead, mend your ways.

  8.  @danielsea0019  Why on earth would we fight Africans? We've never had anything even close to an argument with an African nation. On the contrary, we've poured billion after billion in development aid to Africa, without any expectation of a return on investment.

  10.  @braincells1020  OK, what guarantees do you have that the Nigeriens truly accept the coup plotters as their leaders? None, right?
