  • Western governments have demonized the coup in Niger and threatened intervention, but polls show that 78% of Nigeriens support the military government's anti-colonial policies. France is extremely unpopular due to its neocolonial practices, whereas Russia is widely seen as an ally. The new nationalist junta pledges to pursue true independence and sovereignty.

      its like in the Philippines, many people rallied in the street in edsa, but the present government has nothing to do, the government did not fight but settled by US themselves by transporting former president Marcos Sr. to Hawaii, and installed a new president that was their puppet. it is possible to be a coup under US initiative.

      Yes u are. Its sad in western Europe only few speak truly, while in Eastern Europe ask any farmer he will tell u that Africa is still a colony of France,UK,Germany,Belgium and Holland. France has more timezones than Russia, yet u will never hear that. Niger president is Arab manority, blacks do not see Arabs as an ally thats why they like to cooperate with China and Russia who never had colonies. Yugoslavia was destroyed cus It supported thous states against colonialism In the 1950"+ . So when ur an white guy from UK and white guy from Romania, Bosnia... u can say the N word, since most of Balkans was slaves to the Ottomans for 500 years, and since Turkic people and nations are not seen as white race, u have an era of 500 years and a Empire who was quite cruel to white slaves, especially ones with catholic religion. Sadly western europe does not dare to teach children history or talk about it since u have already in Germany many primiary schools where majority of children dont speak German... EU media hides all this, but sadly we lost this war in the new geopolitical world division. Yes Eastern Europe is more poor than Western, but Im happy to know that mine country is not build and fueled by slaves like France.

    The African continent have a total of 214coups attempts with 106 successful. It saw a significant increase in coups in the last year-and-a-half, with military figures carrying out takeovers in Burkina Faso, Sudan, Guinea, Chad and Mali. After Sudan’s coup in October 2021, United Nations Secretary-General spoke of “an epidemic” of coups, including the events in Africa. He wrongly described an “environment in which some military leaders feel they have total impunity” and “can do whatever they want because nothing will happen to them but he is totally wrong! This ridiculous inhuman statement made by UN is totally irresponsible. UN only make decisions to protect the western and european interest without even knowing that these countries have been looted by the westerns and Europeans whom occupied their land and committed atrocities and robbing them of their rich resources. That is why Africa have a high poverty rate despite its rich and abundant resources all because the evil west/Eurpoe leaders installed a puppet govt under their control. WHY IS United Nations SO BLIND NOT TO SEE ALL THESE! Simply because UN is an instrument for the West and Europe to use. All the so-called International laws, Hague rules are nothing more than to protect them.
    It is time that Russia, China, Africa, S.America, Arab Nations start to lead all the other smaller countries in “The New World Order” in International laws and Trades,etc to show the west what they have done wrongly and unfairly. To expedite this, BRICS can be a platform to build onto globally.

    The historic and continuing ravages of colonialism SHOULD BE an abject lesson, a "morality tale" about some of the worst aspects of human nature. Wealth and power in the hands of a few, as exemplified by the events in Niger, is a phenomena that is undermining the Earth itself, everywhere. Democracy is a beautiful IDEA. But it is only that - a notion that recognizes universality rather than exclusive privilege. Humanity has found itself at the wrong end of that spectrum. The well-being of 8 billion people are now in the grasping hands of a relatively few. Shame on us.
