  1. Niger needs France more than France needs Niger. Sur le plan humain c’est toujours mieux de collaborer. Bonne chance avec la collaboration russe. Ils envoient leur prisoniers armées dans les communautés Africaines. Ca va bien aller.

  2. But anyway, you seem to have posters of putin in your room judging comments on other channels, why did I bother 😂😂😂

  3. Only to the leader as acting body guards.

  4. getting more unstable coup regimes affects investors’ trust in the region. Who want to setup a company if next month a new ruler shows up who could nationalise your investment. I feel for the youth of Africa, no investments means no capital for jobs.

  5.  @africanqueenmo  you are not getting it

  6.  @patmtc477 again political narratives and ghost arguments. The only reason one can think of for any presence at all is to avoid a new ISIS caliphate. They were able to build one in a country with a much stronger army. What other business does a USA have in one of the poorest countries?

  7. That happened 65 years ago. Did you just arrived using your teletime machine? Sure, there is influence. Russia also interfered with American elections. But it takes two to tango. To what extent was influence allowed?

  9.  @dalac_93  no action = more military coups = more instability = fewer investments = less capital = fewer companies = fewer jobs = more jobless youth = more coups etc

  11. Lets hope the region can recover from this. If ECOWAS fails they can dissolve their organisation. So far for the africa unite mouvement

  12. This is worrisome, Niger needs to feed 4.3 acutely food insecure people. If no WFP planes are allowed in with supplies, how long can they cover with the in-country stores. Many of politically engaged diaspora posting from their cosy chairs don’t have a clue what is happening.

  13. Yeah, install a red terror regime. Ask any Ethiopian how they enjoyed that.

  14. This is such a condescending post.

  15. Gadaffi bombed a civil aircraft and was working on some pretty neat armement. I havent seen anyone from Mali, Niger or Burkina do this.
    2
  16. The only thing I see is that large groups of the most vulnerable populations are sacrificed for the selfpreservation of the military dictatorship. We may see the starving kids from Biafra again.

  17. Well spoken by someone from a country led by someone who took part in a genocide.
    2
  18. Kind of difficult if many countries do not collect such data whatsoever, also because of the stigma associated with suicide imposed by religion.

  19. Please elaborate what tactical colonialism means.

  20.  @analyticalmindset  t’es pas un grand esprit analytique. J’ai passé 25 ans au sahel. Toi chez macdo sans doute.

  21. No it should charge right in now
    2
  22. Maybe Mali should use its troops to fight jihadis, sending troops of their 7000 mini army to Niger would come at the expense of the safety of their own people.

  23. Says the russian 😂

  24. @xarifa777 maybe you ticked the box “communist” when ordering 😅

  25. What proxy war. Really 😂

  26. Yes INCLUSIVITY, all inclusive of XI 😂

  27. In that case you will help us eradicate fundamentalist hindus.

  28. most likely he will send a double.I don't believe Putin ever visited an African country. Kind of shows how important they are to him. Gold and diamonds for Wagner group, yes.
    2
  29.  @JocoMarkovic-gf1eh  yeah, their latest colony is CAR. They control the army and key sectors. They just did not change the banner.
    2
  30.  @jati3149  I hope he gets some money for Wagner for spending his time here, if not he is not only a Serb but also not the sharpest tool in the shed.
    2
  31.  @JocoMarkovic-gf1eh  I spent more time in Africa than anywhere else. I drink my icecold beer with my African friends in the local maquis while sharing some excellent local chicken. So I am afraid I can’t help you. People there are not that interested in politics. They are just trying to make a living. When Compaoré was chased away and the peopke were ‘free’, some said “new empty pockets will arrive to be stuffed with our money”. Military or not.
    2
  32.  @JocoMarkovic-gf1eh  you are a wagner right? So were you part of the helicopter attacks from wagner in CAR bombing these villages and shooting down fleeing villagers. It is about the worst I ever saw in my life.

  33. That is very arrogant. Africans can decide for themselves.

  34. They should just compile an army of 50,000 little green men. 😂

  37.  @arr8577  no one cares about Russia, we can turn it in a national park.

  38.  @varen651  you are naive. Your leaders just sell out the precious resources to another bidder like Russia. Same reality, different masters.

  39.  @annmhmoore0771  are you suggesting they got to that situation by choice? Oh man

  40. Chances are this coup was supported by the Russians actually, but you seem obsessed by France
    1
  41. That is borderline racist. This is an African conflict, they are capable to solve this. You make it sound they are unable to have their own geopolitical strategies
    1
  42. As well as hindu genocidal extremists.
    1
  43. Yeah right, lets look at a country without CFA like Ghana, who declared they defaulted on their debt and had to beg a loan to the IMF, oh no a so-called western organization. If they did not get that loan, there was no more money to pay the public servants.
    1
  44. Niger is 33-35% owner of each mining consortia and gets proportional profits. On top of that they get 15% royalties before the consortium makes profit. It does not surprise me that under those conditions the Chinese closed the mine and decided to pull out of Niger. Don't forget that all the investment comes from abroad.
    1
  45. We should applaud the efforts to show the world that Africa has serious institutions and that random coups whenever someone sees his power and wealth compromised, are not acceptable.

  46. The AU approves violence against the junta, not against the Niger people.

  48. More like exploitation by the Niger government

  49. Malema is a radical. He is the black hitler
    1
  50. Why would they? I havent seen anyone from there bombing a civil aircraft like Gaddaffi did. Also I am confused. In Niger this is a coup of the people, in Libya the west just installed a no fly zone so Gaddafi could not bomb his people also to have a population supported coup. Sounds like political cherry picking

  51.  @buzzafrique3700  you are willing to die for nothing keyboard warrior. Just superficial speech from someone who has his livelihood for granted.

  52.  @okyeredanso4110  everyone is free, but influences exist. Every country influences, just see how Russie influenced American elections. Often it takes two to tango. However, here it was proven that years ago this general Tchiani ran away with money meant for the military. It is then ironic that he blames lack of progress againat jihadis….. a joke. Easy to blame another country, in the meantime the military coup leaders steal away.

  55. Three years to reform the system to stay in power forever. No, they betrayed a democratically government instead of using the legal way of elections. They have betrayed their country and people, for these things there is a death penalty

  56. Indonesia supports Bazoum

  57. SA is member of the ICC which has a warrant to arrest Putin. So either they resign from ICC or arret Putin

  58. Famine brings nations together

  59. You should not be afraid of an organisation you have cofounded yourself. ICC is not a western thing but a global one. Maybe tge should move the HQ to another country. Dont forget that US and Israel are not a member.

  60.  @janendegwa5462  Mining industry pays decent wages. the two uranium mines emply 1500 people directly and local economy benefits from these. The cotton factories employ up to 4500 people. Sure it could have been local businessmen, but reality is that they lack the capital and which foreign bank wants to borrow you money for an investment in an at risk country. With all thse coups West Africa turns into Afghanistan that is unable to feed their own people and where no one is interested in. Would yopu invest all your saving in Afghanistan. I think you are getting the point.

  61.  @justathought7235  it alll depends of Tchiani. If he leaves all is over.
    1
  62.  @justathought7235  it really is only up to Tchiani and his circle. Give them a way out while pressing militarily. That is the strategy. The hopes are on the chief if staff, he seems to listen to the outside world and control the army. If ecowas only needs to fight the presidential guard, they will move in.

  66. All African countries except those 3 ran by military coup leaders condemned this coup. Why cant you accept this is an African conflict. They can take care of their own business

  67. You are not very clever. Those cultures existed for centuries before China imported foreign Han Chinese there

  68. Not western nations, everyone condemns, even the african countries in Russia

  69. Corerect, that is why the French-Niger group does not want to invest in a new mine in Imouraren that would represent the largest reserves of the country. The chinese-Niger consortium defaulted on debt and had to close their mine.

  70. It is USAID, they pay for the delivery of corn soy blend, so 4.3 million people can have a meal.

  71. It is a different NATO. When one member is attacked, they show videos of drone attacks they bought from other conflicts to show their support.

  72.  @cywong9101  china was doing great, even if they were dumping goods, but we saw admirable evolutions. China became a guiding example. Until Xi started his repressive strategy towards people, nations, businesses, even his colleague party members. Results are obvious: markets close, businesses (even Chinese ones) move to Vietnam and India, people protest. And then there are economic troubles. I wish nothing but good things to the Chinese citizens.

  73.  @susannahvarietyvideos5660  I refer to my answer that I just posted.
    1
  74.  @nanyanguo1  but increasingly that production is outsourced to Vietnam and India, by Chinese companies. Xi makes it difficult for companies to operate. He is solely responsible for China’s demise. Maybe we trap him, honeytrap 🤣

  75. You are overselling the value of the west. The west is pulling back. You know lord of the rings? The west are the elves retreating to an island far away.

  76.  @andresbElSerBiologico  that is incorrect, the countries added are NOT the most marginalized, they are middle and high income countries with the exception of Ethiopia. They kept the poor out.

  79.  @richm-3803 they dont, Niger gets 45% of the profit with doing anything (investement, tranining, knowhow)

  80. Maybe the black panters can ask Wagner to support them.

  81. Black flags in Bamako in a year from now. A new Afghanistan is looming

  82.  @wahalawahala5258  We cannot expect everyone to be smart or not lazy to look stuff up. Niger get 45% of the profits from uranium mining but depends on France, China, US , Australia to invest and bring the knowhow. With uranium market price down China closed their mine, 900 people lost their jobs and Niger their revenue. Next Orano is looking to leave because under these conditions they hardly make any profit. So Niger is about to lose more than half of its export. And How are the powercuts in Niger nowadays, I haven't seen Nigeria switching electricity back on. The landlocked Sahel nations are becoming backwaters, just like Afghanistan.

  83.  @Babazulu  euhm France is the seventh largest economy. Maybe check before posting 😂😂😂😂 the country dropping a few places is actually Russia.

  84.  @MentrdConversationz  this was a fight between two of the most powerful men in Niger to preserve their power base. It has jackshit to do with proxy wars.

  85. Niger get 45% of uranium profits without doing anything. That does not really motivates.

  86. West? The US isn’t even a member of ICC. So should SA ignore the institute it cofounded?

  87. The people? 😂 a group of old dudes afraid they were about to lose their real estate investments.

  88.  @ClementGreen  a beacon of democracy allows any SA citizen to go to court to demand under arrest of Putin under the international ICC treaty. The day that is possible you can start using expensive words.

  89.  @ClementGreen  lavrov seems a jeltsin figure. Lots of laughs and vodka

  90.  @ClementGreen  we all know who the most maniac of the two is. Problem is that Jeltsin types get blackmailed all the time when they do something out of line.

  91.  @ClementGreen  people who ‘love’ life are generally a bit more reckless than measured characters like Putin. Tolerating people in your inner circle works best if you have something on them. We will never find out though 🫣

  93. It looks like the coup leader still wears his camouflage uniform given during the training in Georgia (US). Not really practical in sandy Niger.

  95. Half the upper society in India eats out of Adani’s hand. Outside organizations need to be hired for serious audits. Sebi is married to Adani, Modi will cover up.

  98. Ha another Russian troll. Tell me are you Luc Michel, the Belgian neonazi they discovered as a Russian agent posting on social media outlets??you can all google him.

  99. This decision by the Niger dictator is crushing for his people. He should be arrested and trialed like Gbagbo. ECOWAS knows what to do.
    1
  100. That is actually untrue in the case of Niger, this president had better results in terms of terrorist violence, was introducing successful changes in education.
    1
  101. Nobody will interfere, nobody cares. Decades back the UN would ask the west to send troops, like to Sierra Leone, but that time is gone. They leave it to the African Union, but they don’t seem to have the means. So just talk and no action.
    1
  102. And by consequence, there will be more coups in other countries over the years to follow. A new generation of eternal dictators awaits, protected by expensive mercenaries.

  103.  @syryder  He looks like he is constantly connected to a dialysis machine

  104.  @syryder  check again. Putin never visited the Donbas and Mariupol. It was a double, you can identify doubles comparing ears.

  105.  @syryder  just check the photos from his visit to Mariupol, and even the video.

  106. The nice thing is that China would also root out nationalistic Hindus putting beef in the menu.

  107.  @J.M.254  even if they all join, that coalition would be smaller than the US on its own. The US has 11 carrier strike groups. One group is enough to take on India. Mire weapons and nationalism is not the answer, protest is.

  108. I was looking for a recipe for a curry and I arrived here.

  109. Not really. For each mining consortium the Niger gov is given 33-35% of the shares, before that Niger charges 15% royalties. So if there is 10 million usd profit, 45% goes to Niger. On the other hand ALL investments come from the foreign partner. A new mine will cost 1.6 billion usd. The Chines were also running a mine but were able to make any profit and the closed their mine!
