Why a coup in Niger could have global consequences
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- It was considered a pillar of stability in West Africa - a region plagued by military coups.
But Niger seems to have suffered the same fate.
The army says it's backing members of the presidential guard, who announced on Wednesday that they'd removed the democratically-elected president.
The landlocked former French colony sits at the centre of the Sahel, and has been a key western ally in the fight against islamist groups in the region.
You haven't mentioned anything about why people don't like France, nor have you mentioned anything about how France manipulates, subjugated, and violates people's right to free and fair trade in Nigel. Well done Channel 4.
Wells said m8, I was thinking exactly the same thing.
Yeah I’m sure that’s just because of the French….
Well you didn't either. Just naming things doesn't make them true.
Rise up Africa and kick out puppet leaders
And help other puppets to get into power via coups.
And then replace them with a new set of puppet leaders 😂😂😂
@@imeneezzeddine6449like the coup in Ukraine/2014 when the western countries overthrow the elected government
Rise up Atlanta Falcons and win the superbowl this year
With this kind of internal situation, no rule of law, no stability. Africa is never going to progress. Military rule is never good for any Country.
My point of view from America it looks to me as though that the majority support it and the government should be for the people so until they show me different i say congrats to the people for taking back their country
agree
The wagoner group seconds that opinion! 🤣
Nah they just transferred the country from France to Russia. They never took back control.
Let’s hope it become a free country and not a dictatorship, congratulations to Niger 🇳🇪
Better than any democracy in Nigeria.
DID YOU JUST SAID THE NWORD? RACIST
It will become a dictatorship for sure.
Dictatorship is never better. @@francisfrancis1153
As long as this improves the peoples lives, good for them.
Under a military dictatorship propped up by the Wagner Group? Get real!
I am sure a military general declaring himself leader will be good for everyone 😂😂🤣🤣
All normal humans want the same thing , after 2020 till now my government didn't help me did yours
Is this your first African Coup? How new are you?
@@joriankell1983 I've seen plenty but if the people want to touch the scolding hot iron to find out it burns your skin, let them. Further more, the French Revolution was considered madness but it was the right decision, so the iron might turn out to be mild instead of scolding.
Welcome to the Coup Club Niger!
How is it different from Coup Club USA?
Good on them, they are doing what we should be
This is their 4th coup since 1960
Better than American democracy
Russian volka and Russian tea mixed together is fantastic and then make sure that you have an amazing American 🌭 and apple pie 🥧 for sure and wear uncle Sam's uniform and sing glory to Russia 😂
They forreal called Russia a win-win partner

“ Looking around, it’s obvious that the French government and moneyed power brokers in charge can’t shake off their predatory colonial → neocolonial “hammer and nail” mindset and approach and financial imperialism manners and ways-both abroad and at home. Old habits die hard, I suppose. (So does negative circular and cumulative causation, btw.) And hard they will die. Denial, whether consciously or not, has never spared an old fool.”

Africans, we need to stand with Niger. If E U touches Niger, we need to fight back. We all know why E U is angry. They are losing their free Uranium from Niger. We need to support Niger and stop the looting of Uraniums from them
All i saw was paid male protestors flying the Russian flag, how stupid do you have to be to believe they are real protestors. In Niger, uranium exports made up a whopping 5% of the country’s GDP and supply 5% of the country’s tax revenues. The top exports of Niger are Gold ($2.7B). Exporting mostly to United Arab Emirates ($2.68B), China ($344M), France ($197M), Burkina Faso ($123M), and Mali ($110M). So again how is the west stealing their resources? Frances GDP is $2,958,000M, $197M is pocket change to them.
Good decision thank you military
To all my African brothers............ kindly let's keep women and children out of conflict amongst us..........,.these human beings are totally innocent....the only mistake they did was to give birth and To born for the children ❤❤
Equality sir
Civilians in general
Sorry but Africans don’t care for women and children. That’s why they have so many child soldiers and won’t say what they do to the women but we know. It’s Africa for you
True
Why is it that african brothers always kill each other, sell each other (Slavery) and just do not respect each other?
Isn't it strange how all the countries with instability were French colonies 🤔
@@GirtsDzerins exactly ❤️
@@GirtsDzerinsdon't blame anyone but blame yourself! Uk also rule malaysia Singapore Hong Kong but look how rich and advanced they are
Well, it depends on what resources the colonized country has. If a country with mineral resources like Nigeria or Mali has an educated population and an efficient government. They do not allow resources to be sold raw
Therefore, you cannot say that Malaysia is also harsh in the opinion of England, so it is the fault of the Nigerian people that they are poor. You have very poor information, dear friend
@@randomworld4662Lack of wisdom. Singapore has some worse anti colony Era. It wasn't all smooth and it's this decade they became better cos of their revolution and Hong Kong is not anywhere as good as Nigeria in terms of development

@@isupportthecurrentthing.1514good
"Its about dignity, That's it"
Its adorable the Africans say they're standing on their own feet and getting rid of the colonizers when they're replacing one with a more aggressive one. Good for them. Also remind me where these people flee to for a better quality of life with better benefits, Russia or Europe?
You beat me to it! See how quickly the Nigerien ambassador to the UN goes into full outrage mode if the West turns off the aid tap because his beggar bowl country decided to bite the hand that feeds and allied itself with Russia along with the Kremlin`s answer to the Einsatzgruppen.
because in Russia you actually have to work
Russia is an ally to Africa, not a colonizer.
Russia doesn't have any history of genocide or resource theft on the continent the way western Europeans do.
Which African country did Russia colonise?
Also the way the migrants are treated is not great. If they fix their country. They will stay there.
Don’t worry folks this is all just a mostly peaceful protest
Yeah they will give you a good 🌭 and Russian tea 🍵
"No one can stop this bath of blood."
"....It's not bath of blood, its bloodbath."
"Thank you, but i prefer it my way."
Lol , nobody died. Stop lying bro , same in Burkina, same in Mali
Nobody was attacking anyone 😂😂😂 majority supported the take over that's why they are in the streets not everyone supported the president.

@@jameslyddall what with china?. China builts more schools then the entire west in Africa for the last 200 years. Education creates powerful people than war that's why west gives mostly army and aid(bribe to the corrupt politicians) so they can keep them illiterate to steal their resources. If chinese want to enslave them then it's a foolish idea to built more schools.
Most logical russian supporter
They still need slaves. Slavery never ended just transformed
We say no to the West. This is a new generation and this new generation will fight for the freedom of Africa. It’s just the beginning, it’s our time to be great. God bless Africa
Then why come to Europe then?
@@HermanWillems because the colonial western powers have bled these countries dry for decades and caused unrest, why do you think they leave, maybe when they get sell their resources at a fair market price these counties will prosper and people will not need to leave.
@@HermanWillems Because Europe has destroyed and continue to destroy our land, causing poverty and hardship using puppets posing to be presidents for decades. So until we fix it we will continue to do so.
@@HermanWillemsi am pretty sure he isn't talking about the africans going to europe
Kick out all foreign influences. Be your own future.
If they start the own independent countries it would mean less immigration in Europe 👍
No it will mean more. Military Junta's never do well as a form of government especially when they go after their enemies.
If Niger stops selling uranium to Europe. Europe is going to fall
Let them to go Rusia now 😅😅😅😅😅
I think that seems like a better option
That's probably why the coup!!!
@@HaveanOreshnikway better option. America and the west can't beat these groups. Couldn't beat them in Afghanistan,Iraq,Libya,Syria. The west has weak tactics and it's clear

@@jefoost2899 true point bro😂
So what are the global consequences??? What a gotcha headline!
No more diamonds for the rich and famous Americana
There is a lot for example/Niger one of the biggest producers of “uranium” which is used for nuclear misSiles. Another example 1/3 of France is powered by Niger resources while 90% of the country don’t have light. Don’t add up.
No more uranium for electricity to EU nations and not more gold to put in EU nations coffers.
No more uranium for your buddies in France. So like the Gaddafi issue they are gonna involve NATO… so yeah, global. But to you, global probably means something happening to Western countries and another couple Asian countries you like. Or maybe Will Smith slapping Chris Rock.
@@boggsbrown2544give it to Russia
The end of colonialism!
I dont get how people think Russia / wagner is going to make things better. Wagner doesn’t work for free. They will be taking their payment and it will be expensive for the host country.
At least they'll be able to say what they really feel about anything, unlike most Americans.
Because the West has treated Africa very badly . They won't tell you about it on MSM, though , so go do some research.
@@isupportthecurrentthing.1514 Good luck with Russia. No wonder my own people sold us to the American. Go research THAT!!
Haha perhaps west works for free? I thought they are actually expensive non-workers when it comes to Africa.
Russia will be bad for them.
Kicking out one overlord only means another is waiting to jump on your back. Poor Africans are so naive,welcoming and forgiving
Russia doesn't have such history in Africa.
Western countries do.

This is just a coup, and almost all coupes end up badly for a country.
@@HermanWillemsis only a coup if it isn't supported by the population

@@rudejase He means let the people of Niger sort out their own affairs, the UK should stay out of it. The "open" and "free" journalism in the west has already began their propaganda cycle to blame this one on Russia as usual, when the root of the issue is nobody in Niger likes the pro-french president, except the financial parasite class that serves French neocolonialism - the parasites are being rooted out as we speak, and the western media doesn't like that.

-when was this area even stable mr. Video maker?
The area was stable before NATO invaded Libya which allowed Islamic terrorists to run rampant in the region.

@@TheUberjammerthe return of the cold war at this time will be very good for Africa and it will help liberate the entire continent because Dollar will no longer dictate how Africa economy grow, Africa economy will be dictate by the effort of it leaders to liberate it people from neocolonial economics control of the West.

Lol RUSSIA HAHAHAHA go fight for them in Ukraine then, see how far you get with the 1960's equipment 😂
MSM has lied to you. Go do some actual research instead of watching propaganda.
Ukraine is not a "fight". It's a bloodbath with Usa requesting donations of munitions to sell our prettier new weapons to those who donate. Don't believe me: Check out the SouthCom Commanding C Laura Richardson, Usa general, as she discusses her inability to convince some of the South American nations who refused to donate--no new customers for Usa through her. Several nations are refusing to donate to the west's "Ukraine cause." Any fool who stayed in Ukraine once the invasion happened made their choice. Let them enjoy the best of the weapons of all nations dropped on their heads while the old white men at the top get rich. War and weapons are busine$$ as usual. A death of another poor man by a 1960s weapon is equal to death by a 2020s weapon. 1=1 You'll laugh until violence comes to you.

Russians are playing chess again. Their favourite chessboard are Africa the last couple of years. What the report overlooked is the role of Russia in north Africa and Sudan. Along with its autocratic allies in the gulf region, they played a major role in demolishing the Arab spring. The ultimate goal is to establish as many authoritarian regimes as possible that are pro Russians and anti west. For many of us people in the Arab region, it all finally added up the moment of the invasion of Ukraine.
