Niger: General Tiani exposes France’s destabilizing interference in the Sahel
During the commemoration of Niger’s independence celebrations, General Tiani, the Nigerian President, revealed in a video interview the insidious maneuvers orchestrated by imperialism to destabilize Niger and the Sahel region as a whole, with a particularly murky role played by France.
The subversive actions carried out by France aim to maintain a neocolonial influence in the region, thereby undermining the efforts of Sahelian countries to achieve sovereignty and independence.
Under the guise of aid and cooperation, France is alleged to have actually fueled conflicts and political instability in the Sahel. Controversial military operations, dubious alliances with certain terrorist groups, and inappropriate support for corrupt regimes are part of the strategies denounced by the Nigerian President.
He asserts that these actions ultimately aim to undermine the security and stability of Sahelian states to favor external economic and geopolitical interests. This revelation comes at a time when many Sahelian countries are striving to break free from the grip of former colonial powers and strengthen their national sovereignty.
General Tiani’s speech resonates with the aspirations of many Sahelian citizens, who are calling for a definitive break from imperialist practices and true political and economic autonomy. The accusations made by Tiani highlight the need for increased vigilance and strengthened solidarity among the countries in the region to counter these destabilizing maneuvers.
Thus, President Tiani’s remarks call for a collective awakening and mobilization of national forces to defend the integrity and sovereignty of Sahelian countries. It is imperative to denounce and resist foreign interference that compromises the development and stability of the region, emphasizing African solutions to African challenges.
