They should have arrested Nuland... I am sure charges could be laid against her... there are serious allegations that some cookies she baked and distributed killed over 250 thousand Ukrainian soldiers, and also responsible for the deaths of thousands of civilians in the country and Russian soldiers trying to sort out the mess she created with her poisoned baking goods.
The sad thing regarding that 5% for Niger video is that those interviews are likely never that long and money just changes hands an the African guy just signs and France fills in what it wants on the paper afterwards.
The west talks about third world corruption by their colonial theft relies on it.
Were any military to actually act against Niger they would be up against probably the best in that part of Africa, trained that way by the US who saw Niger as key to their African strategy. hence the recently constructed $100m airbase.
I still hold to the view that, whilst a country's leaders, inc military, may be in the West's pocket, to actually get an African soldier to fight another will not happen.
Besides which the most important country Nigeria's military is a mess with much of its population part of the same tribes as are in Niger. This is the West's policy of drawing dividing lines for their colonial countries through the middle of a tribal area, to reduce risk to them of a united population, as seen all over Africa, ME etc, coming back to bite them.
The US insists on dialog because they know Russia can flood the place with enough weapons for the locals to defend themselves effectively from the west.
In the past Russia would not supply MANPADS or ATGMs or drones or other effective weapons... for fear the US would do the same to them...
Well Pandoras box is open and I am sure Russia would love to help Africans to defend Africa from colonial white western exploitation and oppression.
That Wagner boss probably has a boner right now about the number of colonial French he will be able to take out... but of course it wont be French, it will be their proxy black water force called the French Foreign Legion... their CIA... cannon fodder.
Saw this comment on another youtube video which tells the truth about the true intent of US Hegemonic strategy:
Africa has suffered centuries of humiliation in the hands of the US and the colonial West invading the countries of Africa.
Russia has never colonized Africa or committed atrocities against any African countries.
Russia is not isolated from the world as the Global South and Africa is not in line with the US and the West.
The Russia-Africa summit take place in St. Petersburg, Russia with 49 African delegations and 17 heads of states meeting with President Vladimir Putin stand in solidarity for the world outside the US and the West.
The summit will be attended by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The world outside the US and the West is not supporting the US and US-led NATO proxy war against Russia and are more sympathetic towards Russia.
It is high time countries around the world be aware of the existential crises and threats posed by the the US and its allies and by the US-led NATO that will threaten other countries interests and sovereignty.
It is time for Africa, Syria and the Global South to put the US and the West on notice for the unlawful invasion and occupation of Syria which is a sovereign country.
As such, the UN Charter is an instrument of international law, and UN Member States are bound by it. The UN Charter codifies the major principles of international relations, from sovereign equality of States to the prohibition of the use of force in international relations.
The US uses its henchmen in the West terrorizing other countries like Vietnam, Yugoslavia, Iraq, Syria, Libya and Afganistan into chaos and destruction that ultimately lead to war and destruction of the countries.
The US is seizing a large part of Syria and siphoning and stealing oil from Syria thus depleting Syrians from their rich natural resources to developed their own country.
The US is a warmongering country and the US invaded or fought in 84 of the 193 countries recognized by the United Nations and has been militarily involved with 191 of 193 to imposed its hegemonic power in the world.
Mike Pompeo who served as director of the Central Intelligence Agency from 2017 to 2018 and as the 70th United States secretary of state from 2018 to 2021 has famously said that the US cheat, steal and lies to suit US interest in a public forum.
The Ukraine conflict is being instigated by the US and the US-led NATO in the proxy war against Russia in the geopolitical risk and shift in power in the region.
Geopolitics is at the center stage with the US and its allies trying to force Russia into non-entity with regime change and to comply totally to US interests and US foreign policy.
Former German chancellor Angela Merkel revealed the West's real intention behind its negotiation with Russia in a ceasefire in 2014 with Germany and France as a guarantors to the Minsk agreements.
She admitted that West have no intention to live up to the Minsk agreements and to give Ukraine time to build up their military force against Russia.
It is a proxy war by the US and the US-led NATO waging war against Russia in order to destroy and obliterate Russia to force compliance to US interest and US foreign policy.
The current Ukraine conflict is a proxy war waged by the US and the US-led NATO against Russia in order to execute regime change and destroy Russia.
The US and the West have no regard to Ukraine lives lost in the proxy war between the US-led NATO and Russia.
Such is the sad state of affairs leading to such unpleasant circumstances in the regions with the people in the regions bear the blunt of destruction and lost of lives.
The US set the Ukrainians up for a free fall. Ukraine reduces into ruins and destruction due to US geopolitics and objective to encircled Russia destabilized and weaken Russia in order to maintains US hegemonic power.
The Wolfowitz Doctrine announces the US's status as the world's only remaining superpower following the collapse of the Soviet Union at the end of the Cold War and proclaims its main objective to be retaining that status.
The number one objective of the US is to prevent the emergence of a rival superpower.
"Our first objective is to prevent the re-emergence of a new rival like Russia and China. This is a dominant consideration underlying the new regional defense strategy and requires US attention to prevent any hostile power from dominating a region whose resources would, under consolidated control, be sufficient to generate global power. These regions include Western Europe, East Asia, the territory of the former Soviet Union, and Southwest Asia.
The US must show US supermacy to enforce US foreign policy by forcing other countries to submits totally to the US interests.
In the non-defense areas, the US will discourage other countries from challenging the US leadership or seeking to overturn the established political and economic order.
The US must maintain the mechanisms for deterring potential competitors in other countries from even aspiring to a larger regional or global role."
The major US objective should be to safeguard US interests and promote American values.
The US will not tolerate any objection that threatens US hegemony regarding US interests and US foreign policy.
If necessary, the US must be prepared to take unilateral action.
There is no mention in the draft document of taking collective action through the United Nations.
The document states that coalitions of allies "hold considerable promise for promoting collective action," but it also states the U.S. "should expect future coalitions to be ad hoc assemblies" formed to deal with a particular crisis and which may not outlive the resolution of the crisis.
The document states that what is most important is "the sense that the world order is ultimately backed by the U.S." and that "the US should be postured to act independently when collective action cannot be orchestrated" or in a crisis that calls for quick response.
The US want to ensure other countries from challenging US hegemony and primacy.
The US is full of mischief by creating trouble and exerting its power and hegemony all over the world.
Every countries want to see peace in the region rather than getting themselves involved in US geopolitics thrust upon them so forcefully.
The US wanted to see an open conflict happening in China and will take every opportunity to enforce US interest and US foreign policy in order to force China into submission by imposing US hegemony and US primacy.
Who is creating an open conflict and outright hostility on China and trying to stir up trouble for China?!?!
What has China done to deserves such an unwarranted attention from a belligerent US to force China to comply to US interest and full submission to the US foreign policy!!!
Double-dealing, fraud, subterfuge, trickery and outright lies is the order of the day as far as the US is concerned.
The US foreign policy consists of bullying, coercion, chaos and finally invasion of other countries.
The US enforce totally capitulation on other countries to US interests and US foreign policy.
The US is nothing short of a tyrant and an oppressor to other countries around the world.
Not really about the coup but it explains well the modern day version of the colonial relationship between France and its colonies. But the winds of change are blowing.
Three minutes of on the nail comment.
Although it refers to Niger specifically I have put it in the Africa thread as well as there are many others involved, including non French ex colonies.
@Sprinter99800 ECOWAS set the date for military intervention in Niger - Commissioner for Peace and Community Security Abdel Fatau Musah following the meeting of the Chiefs of General Staffs of the Armed Forces of the Community States held in the capital of Ghana, Accra
“The exact date for the military intervention in Niger has been set, but we will not announce it .
A military solution is not our preferred option, but the intransigence of the military junta in Niger compels us to resort to it . The events taking place in Niger are part of a series of upheavals in the region, and we are trying to put an end to them.
Any intervention in Niger will be short-term and [will be] aimed at restoring constitutional order. We are ready to enter Niger as soon as the order is given. If we carry out a military intervention in Niger, then we will not declare war on him ,” Musah said. https://twitter.com/Sprinter99800/status/1692637073407115596
There will be plenty of Africans within ECOWAS that do not want the west to prevail in Africa who will leak this date so hopefully the defenders can be ready.
Perhaps China and India could up their game and negotiate relations with Niger to show their interests in peace and stability with the new group in power that is not an uncle tom ready to sell their country to western interests.

I hope these African countries that are threatening to invade Niger to reinstate the French puppet leader don't speak about Colonialism or white oppression ever again. Why was there no suggestion of an ECOWAS military intervention when ISWAP(African ISIS) was invading villages and killing 1000's of civilians or Libyan terrorist were selling black people in open slave markets after the murder of Gaddafi?

@dana916 French and American troops are conducting a large-scale mobilization at the Al-Wig airbase in southern Libya, near the border with Chad and Niger. This is reported by a number of Libyan media.
According to sources, France intends to use the Libyan base to invade Niger through its northern territories in parallel with the intervention of forces of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).
About a week ago, a French cargo plane with 400 troops and light weapons on board arrived at the Al-Vig airbase. In the near future, as reported, this contingent is planned to be increased to 1 thousand people. https://twitter.com/dana916/status/1692926930008285212
------
Algeria should have its ass in its pants and set up a no-fly zone (and ground buffers) in the northern area ala Libya 2011!
Of course, it can also wait like a mouse in front of a cobra until it is its own turn, but no one will be there to help.
