After the recent coup in Niger, the medium-term implications are undetermined, but the outcome is clear. The coup threatens stability in West Africa, American and French interests in the continent, and advances Chinese opportunities. Africans will suffer and Muslim extremists will continue to gain ground. Niger is unlikely to return to democracy in the short term.
Initial hopes expressed by France that the Niger Armed Forces would step in to defuse the coup by the Presidential Guard quickly fizzled when the army sided with the coup. The angry deadline set by leaders of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) for the military to return deposed President Mohamed Bazoum to power or face military intervention has come and gone. Sanctions were imposed and electricity to Niger was cut by Nigeria, but this hurts the people of Niger, not the military or the insurgents.

Umm, it’s not our country.
Yes. Yes. Of course it does.🙄
It threatens the acquisition of uranium and slave level wage. The liberal world order frowns upon things like this.
You mean The Deep State’s interests, they ain’t my interests.
Yep, here we go again. Another war monger shilling for us to get involved in some crap-hole country’s war. How may Vietnams do we have to suffer through before we learn our lesson?
The FR Neocon Brigade want war everywhere.
VICTORIA NULAND and her WRECKING BALL TOUR AGAINST AMERICA on behalf of the WEF/SOROS CABAL. She very well could be the EVIL SPAWN OF GEORGE SOROS.
I have surprisingly little interest in Niger .
Ditto that, my 1st thought.
We've gone from freeing the world from Nazism and communism to be the world's bully and using our foreign policy to enrich our elite and oligarchs.
I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say, "Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you"
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
Cookies wants Ukraine down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never Vlad
Nice Toto riff…
Sure.
Now Saddam Hussein has all the yellow cake he wants.
If Uday and Qusay haven’t already eaten it.
“No, it’s our and France’s bullying and exploitation of Niger that threatens American interests there.”
Bingo! Niger and elsewhere. And the BRICS nations are getting tired of our interference and exploitation.
You know where we get uranium from? That’s right NIGER. All the pieces are fitting together. They just closed off uranium mining near the Grand Canyon FOR GOOD. There is enough uranium there for all our needs. Now we must get it from hostile nations.
War Pigs - Black Sabbath
Generals gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction
Sorcerer of death’s construction
In the fields, the bodies burning
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind
Poisoning their brainwashed minds
[Refrain]
Oh, Lord, yeah
[Bridge]
Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that all to the poor, yeah
Time will tell on their power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait till their judgment day comes, yeah
[Verse 2]
Now, in darkness, world stops turning
Ashes where their bodies burning
No more war pigs have the power
Hand of God has struck the hour
Day of Judgment, God is calling
On their knees, the war pigs crawling
Begging mercies for their sins
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings
[Refrain]
Oh, Lord, yeah
This B$ may impact positively our elites profiting from every war, regardless of where, when and who.
Let the elites and their mumbling following go to another B$ war.
Odd, I have zero interest there as well.
Low IQ criminals coming into the US is one of my concern.
