Niger says France amassing troops, equipment in ECOWAS states
Niger says France amassing troops, equipment in ECOWAS states
Niger says France is gathering troops, equipment in Senegal, Ivory Coast and Benin with a view to military intervention.
In the end all that matters is does Nigeria want to fight this war or not. They're the ones that'll be paying for it in blood and treasure. France is a sidenote. They're not going to die over this.
Niger and Nigeria are not the same country.
Nigeria was the country that threatened to lead the military intervention against Niger.
Nigeria is, by far, the biggest country in ECOWAS. If ECOWAS militarily intervenes in Niger, it'll be Nigeria that is able to supply the bulk of the money, equipment, and manpower
I'm aware of that.
Got em
They've already been paying France in blood and treasure for decades. France is front and centre.
France about to do a colonialism again
So far a leader of a military group, which has just overthrown a democratic elected leader, which cooperates with the Wagner group to secure their might, claims that France is doing that.
I would put a big question mark behind that claim and wait for reliable sources.
They haven't overthrown any democratic elected leader, the only person they've overthrown was Bazoum.
France used to control Niger the same way that Russia controlled Ukraine. Now that Niger and Ukraine are independent countries, I'm sure the response to both will be consistent.
Lol what? Did you miss the leaked call revealing that the 2014 coup was to make Ukraine a US puppet state?
Niger's junta knows this how?
Because you don't just have a coup after having a stroke of insight from a night of binge drinking?
It's a movement led military units that have deep political and intelligence connections. They know a lot of things that aren't going to be admitted by the West.
I'm French and I wish this would be true. We would be able to give Russia what it deserves there.
