USA Africa Dialogue Series - Re: Resources of Niger

GREETINGS Professor Gloria Emeagwali AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR POST.

THIS IS WHAT KWAME NKRUMAH DISCUSSED IN HIS BOOK NEOCOLONIALISM

I HAVE DISCUSSED THIS EXTENSIVELY IN MY BOOK "THE THEORY OF PHILOSOPHICAL CONSCIENCISM".

IT IS THE MODUS OPERANDI OF THE PREDITORS WHERE THEY SET FIRE HERE AND THERE FOR DISTRACTIONS

TO KEEP THE LEADERS FROM THE PEOPLE-CENTERED DEVELOPMENT, TRANSFORM THEM INTO FIRE BRIGADES.

NOTE THAT THE ECOWAS WITH ECOMOG IS NOT DEVELOPING STRATEGIES OF REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT BUT TRYING TO FIND

STRATEGIES TO SUPPORT THE IMPERIAL SYSTEM THAT HAS EMPOVERISH AFRICA. 

ANYWAY THANK YOU 

KOFI

Niger  has uranium, coal, gold, 

iron ore, tin, phosphates,  and 

petroleum. It  is the seventh

largest producer of uranium

in the world.

Colonialists and neo- colonialists 

like to give the impression that 

they are doing humanitarian favors

 - whilst plundering the resources

 of the ex-colony/ colony

 to the hilt. As we all know

they claim , rather triumphantly

 to be giving aid to "the 

poorest country in the world,"

whilst blatantly cheating and 

under- compensating resource 

holders - with the complicity

of local elites in many cases.

If the coup makers want to

change the model, and follow

Guinea and Mali in calling

for greater remuneration for

their  vast resources, best 

wishes to them. Niger

supplies about 25%

of EU uranium.

According to Reuters,

Niger "produced 2,020 metric 

tons of uranium in 2022, about 5%

 of world mining output."
