Burkina Faso's defense minister warns of "Libyan" scenario for Niger if war breaks out

In the event of the outbreak of hostilities in Niger, the country may plunge into chaos, and militants of radical groups will become more active in the Sahel region. About this in an interview with RIA News said the Minister of Defense and Veterans Affairs of Burkina Faso, Colonel Kassoum Koulibaly.

According to the head of the Burkini military department, the situation in Niger in this case may develop according to the "Libyan" scenario. The warring Niger will simply repeat the fate of Iraq, Syria or Libya, as it will plunge into chaos, radical groups will operate in the country.

Defense Minister recalled the sad fate of Libya after the overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi. The country, once one of the richest on the African continent, is now in a deplorable position.

Great Libya, which we knew, was quite stable ... Now it is a country that is looking for something to feed its population

- Colonel Coulibaly emphasized in an interview RIA News.

The head of the Ministry of Defense of Burkina Faso noted that the activation of radical groups in the Sahel is a direct consequence of the destabilization of the situation in Libya. Before the fall of the Gaddafi regime, the region was much calmer than it is now, when radical groups are active in Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, and other countries of the Sahel.

In the event of armed aggression by ECOWAS (Economic Community of West African Countries) against Niger, Coulibaly noted, Burkina Faso will formally withdraw from this organization. However, now the country's membership in ECOWAS is already suspended, as well as the membership of Mali and Guinea, and the reason for the suspension of membership was the military coups that took place in these countries, and their subsequent turn towards cooperation with Russia and China.

Therefore, the authorities of Niger urgently need allies from among the loyal countries of the region.

And no one can predict the consequences.

The fact that the next armed conflict in this region does not bring anything is well understood by everyone except for ECOWAS engaged by the West. Eco has spread you to fight that you can’t eat. The main thing is to get involved, and then how it will turn out. And what will result obviously did not calculate in a hurry to please the white masters.

This is precisely what the West understands, it needs an Africa that is at war, in which governments are changing like gloves. They need instability in Africa, such an Africa is easier to manage, and most importantly, easier to rob.

Thinking about the war in Niger, the West still looks differently. She does not particularly need the United States as a clear warmonger of war, but she creates enormous difficulties for France, and therefore for Europe. But France does not particularly need a war, because there is an example of Libya, flex its muscles, scare, pay and sit down at the negotiating table.

The USA has already killed the German economy (its largest companies are moving production to the USA and other countries), and now they are VERY tightly engaged in France. And it will get worse for her. If France decides to attack Central Africa, its expeditionary forces will not only be rolled out there, but the migrants themselves will simply tear France to shreds in revenge ... roast it at the stake and devour it without choking. The authorities of European countries are simply suicidal. They can't even imagine WHAT they will do to them for what they do. But they don't care anymore.

Here, direct economic problems in France and the entire EU are drawn, uranium-energy, gold-loot for these same puppets to pay from where they draw uranium and gold. Plus, it’s a dangerous precedent, this will be wiped out and other colonies will start throwing the French and the EU, and the arrogance of the white man and the Garden of Eden do not make it clear that it is necessary to share honestly and not rob. In such scenarios, the EU is obliged to punish severely, but only a problem, migrants within the EU can give a cap, they themselves may not have enough strength without sscha, and they have to spin around in a frying pan even without sugar.

According to the head of the Burkini military department, the situation in Niger in this case may develop according to the "Libyan" scenario.

How low the level of education of news authors in VO has fallen.
Not a Burkinan leader, but a Burkina-Fasoian.

[evgen1221]

Or maybe the leader of Burkina Faso? It seems that such cases are not inclined in Russian.

[ilyaros]

They decline, which can be found in the Russian Spelling Dictionary of the 1999 edition of the Russian Academy of Sciences and any other dictionaries. The adjective from "Burkina Faso" is "Burkini", a resident of the country is "Burkina". The second part of the country name "disappears" in this case. A similar situation is with the country of Côte d'Ivoire, only here the first part of the name and the adjective "Ivorian" "disappear".

Hmm, Africa just needs another war, it’s a pity the poor fellows, it’s easier to rob a country destroyed by war, they will take out resources for a drama, and it’s true not to kill the disgruntled with their own hands, as for the war, then at whose expense the company is planned, the countries are not the most prosperous, unless the French will not lend money or amers, and weapons with ammunition from whom to take, now many people need it.
