I don't know if Nigerian Uranium is that critical to France. France could buy up somewhere else. Fuel cost is low for nuclear power, even if Uranium cost went 10x it wouldn't move the price of electricity much.
That coup was funded by us to install a subservient ruler who would do as we wished. That is ok.This coup is against a leader controlled by us. That is not ok. Do as we say, not as we do.
Pretty sure that “coup leader” was voted into office by Ukrainians after the previous leader fled to Russia to avoid impeachment leaving the presidential office empty and failing to do his job as president

Very proud of Africa. They are taking matters into their own hands. We need to let Africa handle themselves. Colonialism has long hurt the continent. We need to support where we can but without interfering making things even worse
Nigeria has two choices reinstall the previous leader , or hold elections right away to replace the previous leader . Either way it is a lose , lose situation. The previous leader will want to retaliate , and electing a new leader will come with sanctions.
The coup may be a wrongful act, but if you look at the country as a whole, it is really pitiful, how can you blame people who just want a better life. It is shameful that after 63 years of independence people are stuck in poverty, and the rich nations who talks about legitimate government but never really did anything in the past.
South Korea, Japan after devestating wars, Singapore after the harch seperation from Malaysia have built the strongest economies with no natural resources around. You only blame the people for the situation that they are in. They need to stop whining and using colonialism as an excuse, and start working hard to earn a place in this world.
The country has been living in poverty for decades dispute having minerals. There will be no deference after the sunctions bcoz we don't even help them but we have been taking their minerals, uranium etc let's just live them alone to decide on how to run there country.
The West created the problem of Islamists by destroying Libya, then pretending to help, years went by and nothing really happened, the West offer them toilet paper and take real minerals, what do they do with toilet paper? only the rich and the corrupt can use them, they need infrastructure in exchange for their minerals, not toilet paper.
I wonder what do you have to lose if you are one of the poorest country in the world?? A leader of a Country sitting on so many resources and having a big european country depending on it. And his people is one of the poorest HAS TO GO...JOB FAILED...WTF was he doing all this years? Playing Golf?

This is why Africa will never be a superpower at times like this every African should be helping each other but right now it's like they're fighting against each other the like poem in the hands of the westerners

@CedarHunt How about just leave ALL OF AFRICA alone? Europe can go to Asia instead, right?
@@MrJohnnyBlaisei agree they should invest more in Asia its more civilised. Africa is so corrupt its not even worth the energy. The west need to move on and keep its technology and progress to itself and allies. Let them enjoy their multipolar world (I live in Africa btw)
But Africa is rich of Natural resources more than Asia so Europe need Africa more than Africa need European because all Africa corruption source is Europe
you are French, aren't you?
This channel needs to update the information....
Nigerian uranium is "going to France"? Do you mean that France doesn't pay for it?! As a journalist, you can't throw such accusations without being more specific!!
Tell France to give Haiti all the money they stole punishing Haiti for winning their freedom then making them pay reparations for lost wages for not allowing themselves to be enslaved. France is really a nasty colonial power. why cant they leave Africa alone ????????
It doesn't need to be specific when it's common knowledge to the Nigerians. Africans are now getting bolder. Global west is in trouble. Kingdoms rise and kingdoms fall. The west knows this. After all they invented many aspects of history ha ha😅😅😅
They pay cheap for it and most are stolen.
@@ThereYouAreT1in American textbooks, France was always portrayed as some sort of perfect country that never abused colonies. And we certainly never heard of the cfa franc, until recently. The french actions in 2011 were seen as weird more than anything else.
They steal it but most goes through corrupted leaders freely.That time is over,they have t buy it at market price
I imagine that "security and migration" are not on top of the minds of EU leaders, but "resources" are... and nobody will say it because of the obvious negative connotations of that...
yep
Yes
Surely you think it is otherwise about the Chinese or Russian goals
France or companies ?
Indeed. They thing we are naives
France enough stolen money 😂
Now it is Russia and Chinas turn.
If all involved was thinking of a united Africa this would not be happening. As usual european interests come first. SMH... All this for $2 billion. Come on my African brothers. Again, let us start valuing ourselves and each other. BLESSED UNITED AFRICA
Africa will never be united
my friend, this coup is Russian backed. They do not care for africa. They are pretending.
Ok but somebody will have to give up power, and nobody wants it
@@Hans.Dewitt How do you know that Africa will never be united ?

THIS TROUBLE IS DELIBERATELY LEAD ON
BY Puttin with the assistance of WAGNER GROUP and China 🇨🇳 .
Lets change the subject, can we talk about Ukraine in 2014.
I don't know if Nigerian Uranium is that critical to France. France could buy up somewhere else. Fuel cost is low for nuclear power, even if Uranium cost went 10x it wouldn't move the price of electricity much.
How much worth of resources are mind from this country a year? And how much of the profit does the country see. Russian can and will make this right
yh right how many Russian owned Wagner mines are there? no wonder many gold bars found at Prigozhin property during raids
I remember something similar happened in 2014 and all Europe/west went on to recognize the coup leader, what's the difference now?
That coup was funded by us to install a subservient ruler who would do as we wished. That is ok.This coup is against a leader controlled by us. That is not ok. Do as we say, not as we do.
Exactly
Pretty sure that “coup leader” was voted into office by Ukrainians after the previous leader fled to Russia to avoid impeachment leaving the presidential office empty and failing to do his job as president
The difference is that it's not of our interests, so they are the villains of the story and if you disagree you're a pro-russian bot, long live the US, long live the NATO, 2+2=5.
Very proud of Africa. They are taking matters into their own hands. We need to let Africa handle themselves. Colonialism has long hurt the continent. We need to support where we can but without interfering making things even worse
France should relax and sit back this isn’t necessarily their issue
exactly
Nigeria has two choices reinstall the previous leader , or hold elections right away to replace the previous leader . Either way it is a lose , lose situation. The previous leader will want to retaliate , and electing a new leader will come with sanctions.
That's happening when a general make himself president, but I am sure he did it for the good of the people ( his family and his friends)
"Nigeria has two choices..." Nigeria is a different country. 🇳🇪 🇳🇬
He can only do this when forced by his masters, unfortunately the hands of his potential masters are full already!
Nigerien not Nigerian ..which is a different country.
the 3rd choice is bring it on!
Macaroon make Putin look like Jesus
The coup may be a wrongful act, but if you look at the country as a whole, it is really pitiful, how can you blame people who just want a better life. It is shameful that after 63 years of independence people are stuck in poverty, and the rich nations who talks about legitimate government but never really did anything in the past.
South Korea, Japan after devestating wars, Singapore after the harch seperation from Malaysia have built the strongest economies with no natural resources around. You only blame the people for the situation that they are in. They need to stop whining and using colonialism as an excuse, and start working hard to earn a place in this world.
@@mrlool1991The nation's you mentioned were not colonized for decades and continue to be exploited. You have it backwards.
@@mrlool1991 this exactly, I genuinely don't understand why people don't see this.
If anyone thinks having a military taking over the power is going to make their life better, they should take a look at History.
@@Pleezath because it's easier to blame others for your failures 🙂
Ecowas a west puppet
The country has been living in poverty for decades dispute having minerals. There will be no deference after the sunctions bcoz we don't even help them but we have been taking their minerals, uranium etc let's just live them alone to decide on how to run there country.
The West created the problem of Islamists by destroying Libya, then pretending to help, years went by and nothing really happened, the West offer them toilet paper and take real minerals, what do they do with toilet paper? only the rich and the corrupt can use them, they need infrastructure in exchange for their minerals, not toilet paper.
I wonder what do you have to lose if you are one of the poorest country in the world?? A leader of a Country sitting on so many resources and having a big european country depending on it. And his people is one of the poorest HAS TO GO...JOB FAILED...WTF was he doing all this years? Playing Golf?
De-colonization is more important than having democratically elected ruler who directly or indirectly serve the interest of colonial masters.
This kind of military intervention threat is exposing the neo colonial mindset of western countries.
We Indian🇮🇳 support the African people's effort against neo colonization of West
France and Germany have no right or say in this
this is end of French colony.
Good.. about time too. Wake up Africa.
Sanction does not work here. You better reason as why was coup and what occasioned it
How is a country rich in uranium, gold and other natural resources be among the poorest countries in the world. Can someone riddle me this?
All the money goes to europe
Colonization never ended it was moved in the shadows. Europeans like putting Africa down without realizing their government still colonize Africa
The leaders keep it.
Riddle me this: Venezuela has more oil than Saudi Arabia
Why are they still poor?
@@IK_MK US Sanctions, preventing them from fully accessing the technology to extract the oil in their country, because they have an "unfriendly" govt according to the US.
Who are they to give or not give authorization to other country.
The europeans should not meddle in, let the africans resolve their own problems. Besides, I didn't hear the reason of the coup.
No Wagner is meddling, enjoy those rapists. :-)
Yah europe should also stop any kind of aid to africa let them resolve their problems.
europe and the US were involved from the start, there are these things called treaties, contracts, aid and military bases. For all of them to simply withdraw because some general decided to pull a coup is very different from if an elected government requested the nations withdraw, as per the will of the people.
@@paulthetyyppi Agree, Europe, get out of Africa and stop your aid. Like they really give this aid free. They pilfered more than they give. They don't need to rely on aid as long as they have other countries that fairly invests and trade with them. There are a line of countries that will be happy to and in a fair way with no discrimination.
@@paulthetyyppi ahahha, i don't know if you thought I would disagree or something because I'm not, after all the 'aid' that Europeans send to Africa just ends in corrupt politicians after all, and makes them dependent on aid.
Let them control the country, but they must not cry for aid from Europe. Time for Europe to focus on itself instead of failed states
Think u should learn History. Whenever the western interfear in Africa is because of their own interest and they control Africa resource. From all those colonizations until today .Africa has more resource than Europe if they can decide by them self. Africa has never decide or interfear who to become leader in western country. Africa dont need any help from any one, but if you interfear and stealing resource then that bring too much problem like poverty etc..
Wow, and just a couple days after the BRICS meeting. What a coincidence.

@@firasajoury7813in the world of politics, the OP has a point. The protesters are doing it out of support for their leadership.

Africa do not need any foreign involvement in their internal affairs. Others must mind their business and stay away.
What’s wrong with the Gambia and Nigeria and those countries trying to listen to the west this is an issue with Africa being one
Their leaders and elites have Swiss bank accounts and own hotels and assets and palaces in Europe

France's (and Europe in general) colonial past is not doing them any favors here. This situation will ultimately have to be resolved by Africans.
It's be great if all of these African countries had Niger's back
What do you make of the bizarre colonial vestige in the form of the CFA franc? Does France benefit a lot from it still?
Some claim France indirectly controls those countries with the CFA franc.
Some claim those countries actually greatly benefit from the CFA franc.
@@mariatheresavonhabsburgmy impression is that 45 years ago maybe the currency stability was helpful. But since then the CFA has stifled monetary policy and economic growth.
@@SeeLasSeeBased on what? The CFA franc is hardly the biggest issue gripping West Africa. The claim that it is stifling economic growth is dubious, to say the least.
500 billion a year
In 10 years they gained 5 trillion
Think 500 billion a year coming for free to you
This is criminal
And European people fighting to uphold this system
From 14 countries that sum i believe
Burkina Faso and Mali are ruled by "anti-French" juntas but neither is changing away from the CFA franc. There are many theories about the currency being some tool of French oppression, but it seems when they have the choice of changing it, it's all just talk.
Why is no one mentioning Russia?

France to keep off Africa and ECOWAS must be people's representative and must not act on their own accord.
