Niger: Emmanuel Macron lifts the veil on France’s diabolical intentions against Niamey. Imminent war against the people
Suddenly feeling a deep love for the people of Niger, Emmanuel Macron, in a speech delivered on Monday August 28 in Paris, laments the suspension of international aid to Niger following the coup d’état of July 26, and sets himself up as a superhero, ready to move heaven and earth to deliver the country from the hands of the villains and restore the kindly Bazoum to his duties. A real comedy whose sole aim is to justify the war that France is about to declare on Niamey, through its soldiers on the ground.
To get Africans to swallow his pills of lies and hypocrisy, he’s going to have to take several acting lessons. For many have already seen through this game. Macron is equally enraged at the putchists and the people of Niger, who firmly support the military just because France’s interests in Niger and the sub-region are at stake, without Bazoum or a corrupt Head of State as President.
If France were really so concerned about the misery that has afflicted the majority of Niger’s population for years, even though the country is sitting on a veritable gold mine, why doesn’t it help Niger train and provide high-quality engineers, and set up industries to exploit its minerals?
According to official data, «in Niger, 80% of the population lives in rural areas. The rate of access to electricity is virtually nil, and barely 13% nationwide». Given that Macron is so concerned about Niger’s development, why doesn’t France stop the plundering of Niger’s uranium and establish fair, honest and equitable cooperation between the two states?
The entire community of West African peoples must mobilize and firmly oppose military aggression against Niger. A war in this country could have serious repercussions for the entire region, and further destabilize our economy.
