Coup demonstrations in Niamey, Niger.
Niger = another Honduras?
Mamadou Tandja = another Manuel Zelaya?

President Tandja had grown increasingly unpopular since changing the constitution to extend his rule in office.
When Niger's parliament and constitutional court said the referendum was illegal, President Tandja dismissed both and ruled by decree.
This never ceases to irritate me. If what we are reading about the situation in Niger is correct, then it sounds exactly like what happened in Honduras. Of course, the worthless and mostly ill-informed "international community" condemned that action as well.
WTF is wrong with these morons? Can't these useless diplomats and other fools get their facts straight before issuing a condemnation? If anything, we should be cheering the fact that yet another country is using the rule of law to lawfully depose an illegitimate ruler.
If Niger is moving closer to being ruled by law, instead of by men, as a result of this action, then we should be all for it.
The demonstration of support comes as condemnations pour in from the international community. On Friday, the African Union suspended Niger and demanded a return to constitutional order.Really? Does anyone remember the African Union's response when Zero's relatives and other fellow Moslems rejected the election results in Kenya and tried to overthrow constitutional government there, committing atrocities in the process? Thanks myknowledge.
Good for them!
