USA Africa Dialogue Series - Re: High-Powered Nigerian Delegation Arrives in Niamey to Engage with Coup Plotter

I hope the coup plotters understand that Niger is a client state. They cannot just fight Bazoum but multiple agents:

 

French forces

American forces

Romanians

Italians

Russians

NGOs

Lebanese merchants

Tuareg merchants

There is anger in clusters: a large youth population; Sunni Muslims

If the coup fails, expect massive killings.

"The governments of France and the United States also voiced concern and urged the participating guardsmen to change course. Bazoum's administration has made Niger a key Western partner in the fight against Islamist extremism in Africa's Sahel region."

 

 

What a lovely team!
