In Niger, Prigozhin’s death met with calls for Russian aid • FRANCE 24 English

In Niger’s capital Niamey, news of the presumed death ex Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin has been met with calls for Russia and the controversial Wagner group to provide military support, as anger mounts against former colonial ruler France. Researchers have blamed the country's turn to the Kremlin on a continent-wide disinformation campaign led by Russia designed to destabilise democracy.

Niger is a sovereign Nation and is NOT France territory, it is upon Nigeriens to decide who to trade with and partner with .You pay market prices for resources or SHIP OUT no printing of photocopy CFA money to exploit independent Africa states.

[channel-xhhp]

They know they have to choose right partner not greedy country like france

[joliejolie]

We do not need Russia to distrust Western powers. You do it really well by yourself.

[umoruamodu]

Bravo to patriotic Nigerians. No more western exploitation

[mahmoodahmed]

They have there own choice, they can support any country, independent policy

West Africa’s reputation is gone. Yesterday, my boss asked a Ivorian colleague if he would stage a coup if he would not agree with the management’s decision. What a joke 😅

[ahahha]

😂
Africans : colonisation made us so poor 😡 let us be free
The same Africans days later : COUNTRY ON SALE, we give to the most motivated one 😊🥰

Beg for Russians help, from one hand out to another, truly not independent or self reliant. Trading the French master for the Russian master. Can i have some more aid please . Learn to stand on your own . We fought the English, French, Portuguese, Belgium, Russians, Cubans, East Germans, during the colonial and cold War days, now you want to bring the Russians back and get into debt with China. No wonder why this happens to us.

[galemartin]

African Warlords always trading one master for another. Never standing up for themselves and their people.

[imb]

poor africans . . . there are reasons they are poor.

[Thechamp]

Why can't they go stay in Russia?

[mazengomazengo]

France should not panic .Just make a little pause for the time being things gonna be alright !

[kachingasimbeye]

You need to be sewing up the African Union flag ... It's high time we Africans started to solve our own problems without any external interventions. . Otherwise, , a decade from now we will be singing songs of liberation against Russia after our resources have been milked..

[fromabove]

Western media make the focus on Russia😂

[vashantir]

From one coloniser to another. Just sad. History makes a lot more sense now.

[Eltipoquevisteayer]

Why would West Africa be on Russia's side?

[Sirjohnwilliamuk]

First step is to change government, second is to buy 20000 air defense S-400 and 1000 pieces of the S-500. That will guarantee protection and not ending up like Libia that nato destroyed and killed its people.

[jeffsframe]

They trade the old colonizer for the new one. Poor fools.
Nobody in their right minds would ever wish for Putin’s Russia and the Wagner ( SS ) Group to come to their country ! 🤣🤣🤣

[kingofdevils]

Aww.... Feels bad for them requesting aid from another of the same class. Russia can barely handle itself and it's gonna give aid 😂😂

[mosesmodise]

why would they keep on trusting and seeking help from russia regime while pregosion is assignated cant they see betrayal ahead i guess most of the russian civilians too don't like the regime and they dont want to expose if for fear.
