  1. Once again, the esteemed geopolitical specialist with the super cool shades that you have become, Peter, has opened a new hatch in what could be called the African Political Submarine culture, which has really been far down below the surface of international hot spots the media usually stays focused on for as long as anyone can remember. What is clear, as far as where Niger is concerned, is that by having a coup d'état and ousting their democratically-elected president, the junta has now put its fingers in what they think is a honey pot, but what is in all likelihood going to become a tar pit. The west---and especially France----where the saying goes 'never two without three'----and in this case coup d'états, will not stay out of this one. As a lay perspective, what I think is going to happen is that the military chiefs in France, the UK, NATO and especially the USA are going to see that the coup d'état in Niger must not, will not and cannot succeed or the whole region will really become the dark continent. It will become a magnet for the world’s autocratic regimes like China, North Korea and Russia whom will find powerful partners in crime in Niger and the other countries which have booted out the French and staged similar coup d’états. Let Niger get away with this caper, and Africa turns into a black rock to western scissors.
