Niger’s coup leaders get support from Mali, Burkina Faso | Live Discussion | English News | WION

A military coup took place on July 26th in Niger. The military took power and Niger’s president Mohamed Bazoum, who was a staunch ally of the West was ousted.

While the west is aghast - not everyone is hostile to the coup in Niger. Amid a rising Russia sentiment in the region, Junta led Burkina Faso and Mali have declared that any foreign military intervention in Niger against coup leaders would be considered a declaration of war against them, too.

That was not a coup, that was a liberation from imperialist France and Western predators

The west AND the world should listen to the locals

[jonascoscom]

Where did this terror group get the weapons from. And all this uranium but yet Niger is seen as the poorest country this does not make sense

[anodkato]

The coup d'etat in Ukraine is a triumph of democracy.
The coup d'etat in Niger is the junta.
The main thing is not to confuse

[LoonieGoonr]

I'm Nigerian but I love what is happening in Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger. I wish it could happen in Nigeria too, cause our leaders are morally corrupt and stooges of colonisers.

The so-called "Big Countries" in Africa like Nigeria, South Africa, Kenya, Egypt have all failed Africa. This is why I believe it would up to the so-called "Small Countries" in Africa like Burkina Faso, Mail, Niger, Angola, Rwanda, Ghana to assume leadership roles in Africa.

We need a United Africa Passport, one Head of Continent leading all Presidents, one Currency, one United Military Force, one Security Council, one Central Intelligence Unit, and one Central Bank of United Africa.

This is what happens when a *FRENCH PUPPY* is removed, but let no country mediate by the threat of military intervention, diplomatic talks is always an effective option.

[karllossemmeddo]

I Congratulate Niger * Burkina Faso and Mali 👏 Colonizers and Imperialists, to stay away from African Internal Affairs 😈💀😈. God Bless Africa Forever 🌍 Love from Senegal 🇸🇳❤ 🌍🙏

[kingdavid]

The sad part is they don't have the support of all of Africa some still have the colonizer mindset

[bafanabmahungela]

Europe is good in evacuation of its citizens. There was a Covid19 evacuation on Europe terms, and now is Uranium and minerals evacuation not ont their terms. Uhuru.

[nathaliewilliams]

Everyone of the African diaspora is a soldier. Wherever you are. Power to the people, no turning back

[wahalawahala]

It's the duty of any able African to help fight with Niger 🇳🇪
