If the african youths really support this, then why wont they allow immediate elections, then?
Cause we all know the populous will gladly vote for a military dictatorship when given a real option
Too much focus on what happens at the ground level and not what happens next. "The West" doesn't need to engage in war to make a point.

So France/Bazoum can rig the election again?
What are you? 15?
Im 14 actually. Read my sig
You sound like the American Generals talking about Vietnam. The French was involved in that one too. Total arrogance and completely underestimating your opponent. The French are not just going to be fighting the Army of Niger.

He definitely sounds like General William Westmoreland
I think Americans might be masochists! They enjoy making the same mistakes and enduring the same punishments
Great post.
On your 6th point: I was listening to a Geopolitics space on Twitter yesterday & a Nigerian (presumably from Northern Nigeria due to his name & accent) claimed that what happened in Niger was actually a coup within a coup (I don’t know how true it’s). He claimed France sponsored the initial coup cos the deposed president made a statement about revising the uranium deal & also cited a BBC interview he did last year or so. And as the initial coup (French sponsored one) started, the armed forces refused to join unless it’s a coup that will serve their national interests & not the French one. Subsequently, an agreement was reached to go for national interests hence the deposed president wasn’t killed & why the country’s armed forces didn’t show any resistance. (Disclaimer: I don’t know how true this is).
Also, there are reports (from French sources) that French Special Forces were meant to intervene (presumably when the initial coup failed or protect the deposed president as alleged by French for sources) but Marcon told them to stand down cos it would look colonial. I’ve also seen reports about Niger’s armed forces not being too happy with the deposed president & France in their fight against Jihadists with claims that every time they locate jihadist hideouts - the deposed president would ask them to seek approval from the French before attacking. And by the time the approval arrives, all the jihadists would’ve escaped.
Yes, Russia isn’t involved any of the coups in WA. Russia became a player with the putschist as a ‘protection umbrella’ against western countries. Coups aren’t cheap & they cost a lot of money. You need to spend a lot of money, know the terrain & have a good network with important players in these places to sponsor a coup. And Russia doesn’t have an expansive presence in the region, apart from the Wagnerites in Mali (I think Burkina Faso as well).
It’s also not coincidental that all the putschists, from Mali, to Burkina Faso, to Guinea (Conakry) & now Niger were all trained by AFRICOM. And this is basically why I don’t want to jump out of the window yet & label them full nationalists fighting for their people (albeit I lean more towards that right now). Were they all coups within coups for national interests or just psyops for something bigger? - still observing.
I’m seeing a lot of Northern Nigeria (Hausa, Fulani & Kanuri) vs Nigeria Tweets on Twitter right now over Niger.
I don’t blame them - they have blood/family ties with Niger & the connection is deeper than whatever connection they have with Nigeria. And it’s not shocking tbh.
You can’t wash away thousands of years of blood ties over a country created a few decades ago by cacs with strange fellas. It’s common sense.
Military intervention by Nigeria should be off the table at this point to give Nigeria a few more years to exist.
We need to get off of their fukking aid biscuits. You have to ask yourself why does a supposed aid agency (USAID/Samantha Powers) have a seat on the National Security Council? Nothing altruistic about their aid, it's all a means to control their own interests.
