Burkina Faso,Mali & Guinea express solidarity w/ Niger🇳🇪 and warn that ANY military intervention against Niger is a DECLARATION OF WAR | Algeria joins

[Nkrumah Was Right]

He raised valid points. They can’t allow another Libya in that axis & Nigeria needs to fall back.

Anyway, I don’t think Nigeria will intervene militarily & I’ve my reasons. The sabre-rattling is most likely a carrot & stick approach.

Nigeria will be doomed if it dares intervene & it will start something that will engulf & consume Nigeria as well.

Senegal, Ivory Coast pledging troops; power cut off

They’re shaping the battlespace.

You got folks in Sokoto to confirm troop movements? I only got people in Kaduna/Abuja as far as Arewa goes

Using your own thought process then you are not seeing history either. Those francophone West Africans had a history long before France got there. They remember it and they have passed it along to successive generations. Hell the French have only been in that region a little over 100 years, but the history of the Mande influenced area go all the way back to Ticitt Walata which is over 3000 years old.

I have no doubt there is a rich history. The problem is these countries have relied on the raping of Africa for so long they won't stop. Until all of Africa from every corner of the continent says enough this will keep happening. The poverty, lack of infrastructure and greed allow this to keep happening.

 

[Nkrumah Was Right]

Macky Sall is getting desperate to keep anti French dissent down and retain power

Are these your precious African democrats who oppose the sovereignty of Niger?


Sahelian Spring!

The French economy is heavily reliant on West Africa..besides tourism where they lead the world, what else do they do?

Helps you realize

Think the world's largest military and #1 government agency that has overthrown countless countries won't be able to do it again. Especially when $ and resources are at stake. No one pays attention to history until long after it is written and they never learn.

You forget the worlds largest military lost in both vietnam and afghanistan to a bunch of guys with kalishnikovs.

Let me tag @EndDomination & @Frangala two brehs with great insights to see what they think.

How many wars has the US fought over it's existence? Of course, they'll lose some. It doesn't mean they still won't put a government in place that fits their interests. The US ran Afghanistan for 20 years. Vietnam is now one of the US allies in the East. If you go to war and drain a country of it's resources that are more valuable than the cost did you really lose?

They also used to rape and pillage China. The Chinese put a stop to that. They used to rape and pillage Iran. Iran put a stop to that. On and on an on. There is a reason those former Sahelian kingdoms were split into small colonial controlled States. It was to divide and conquer. if those former empires are beginning to reunite then they are looking to write their own future just like China and Iran have done.

Ah - you see the vision.

Niger is nonsensical. So is Chad.

But Songhai and Kanem Bornu make sense

Vietnam is not a US ally. And no it did not run Afghanistan. If it did, it wouldn’t have left it so hastily. The Taliban has and has always run afghanistan.

The whites never treated the Africans the way they treated the Chinese and Iranians (Persians).

It was their own and they were a connected people with common language, religion, customs and communities. Nigeria's North being forced into a country with Nigeria's South never made sense. Those groups have no historical connections other than trade and were only forced together to help in the looting of their adjoining lands. However Nigeria's North and Niger make perfect sense, because they have shared histories. The only reason Nigeria's North and Niger are not one country is because of the Europeans divide and conquer strategy. The francophone West African countries finally see that they have no commonalities or duties to the French.

The English treated the Chinese horribly.

I don't understand your question? If ECOWAS didn't get involved in the coups in Mali, Guinea and Burkina Faso then it is crazy for them to involve themselves in Niger.

These coups are clearly directed at the French. There was also an attempted coup in Ivory Coast a year or two ago. So that leaves Senegal, Ivory Coaast, Togo and Cameroon as the clear next targets in West Africa. Who is behind them is up for debate.

The difference was the other coups were against other guys that did coups this was a coup against a democratically elected government.

How is these coups against the French? When they say Travel broadens you this is what they mean. You think that France doesn't and will not economically dominate Niger now? There's Banks and Mines and infrastucture all provided by the French not to mention the Aid and tourism and expat dollars that Niger gets from the French. The Cell phone and Internet company doesn't go away because of a coup then finally think about it you're a Nigerian official what changes under the new regime? Are you gonna get your pension just because you supported the old regime? Will you be replaced? The 2nd in the Command of the Presidental Guard what does he get? Why not do a coup himself since it was so easy shyt could easily go the way of the Romans

Year of the Five Emperors - Wikipedia

Constintine finally got rid of the Pretorian guard all together

The Nigerians have Armourd vehicles, aircraft, heavy weapons all that needs to be maintained. Even if they called Wagner in they can't replace or and retrain on all new weapondry like that.

By the way most Nigerians are functionally illiterate.

Except their banking system all major compainies and their money.

I get your point Yes the euros put a money wrench in the system by drawing the borders like they did. The Africans could charge the borders but that wouldn't benefit the favored local elites so the boarders haven't been changed.

Kenya can't open the boarder with Somalia because Al Shabbab is attacking northern Kenya which used to be Somali until the brits gave it to Kenya.

I agree Nigeria doesn't want or need another war.

That being said a simple airstrike would get the current occupants out of the country.
