ON THE SEVENTH PARAGRAPH OF HIS ARTICLE, PRESIDENT BAZOUM SAID:
Notably, Niger’s security situation is significantly better than that of our neighbors Mali and Burkina Faso, whose governments, both installed by military takeovers, support the illegal coup. Rather than addressing security concerns by strengthening their own capacity, they employ criminal Russian mercenaries such as the Wagner Group at the expense of their people’s rights and dignity.

I wonder if we have any bioweapons labs in Niger.

I sympathize with the president of Niger. I really do. Unfortunately I also sympathize with Donald Trump and the former USA as we also were taken over by a government overthrow.
The similarities between Niger and the United States are very very close.

Well, this man seems rather articulate. No wonder State Department and CIA like him so much. He writes exactly like they sound.
LOL

Good map. Proof that only simple minds want to be completely isolationist.
Niger is mostly a French problem though, not a US problem, in my estimation.

And let me guess, he wrote this on a roll of toilet paper (the only one in Africa) and a sympathetic jailer smuggled it out.
As jailhouse letters go, this one seems like it’s missing that “desperation” vibe. Wonder who actually wrote it?

What’s going on in this country matters so much more.
If Trump were POTUS this problem in Niger wouldn’t be happening IMHO.

Except he is NOT the President of Zaire.
The days of neocolonialism by the west are over.
To: SeekAndFind
When he talks about “partnership with the U.S.” I think it must be a CIA-imposed “democracy.”

People from Nigeria are Nigerians.
People from Niger are nigerites?

I was under the impression that Russia has a lot of influence over the Central African Republic which is not colored red on the map like other countries with ties to Russia.
