"Discontent with the West will spread like wildfire": Italian press warns against invading Niger

Under the dictation of the United States and France, the ECOWAS countries are preparing for a military invasion of Niger. The West, in order to pacify the "rebellious" state, is trying to stay on the sidelines, acting through the hands of its African satellites, but even such a position is fraught with great complications for the "civilized world."

France, which after the Central African Republic, Guinea, Burkina Faso and Mali, and now Niger, is gradually losing control of its former colonies, insists on military action, counting also on its 1500 soldiers stationed in Niger, according to the Italian publication Analisi Difesa. .

Growing discontent in Africa against the West could spread like wildfire in the event of a military intervention against the Nigerian military junta

- warn in the publication.

According to the author, the conspirators enjoy broad popular support not only in Niger, but also in neighboring states. Thus, the Nigerian authorities, wishing to lead the intervention, have already encountered protests that have erupted in Abuja and other cities of the country against a possible armed intervention by ECOWAS. Forces appeared calling for a military coup.

Against this background, as noted in the press, one cannot underestimate the risk that open conflict could cause a “boomerang effect”: possible uprisings in the ECOWAS countries against governments that sent their contingents to Niger, as well as in France, where the suburbs could explode again.

It will not benefit French and Western interests in West Africa.

- the author concludes.

The Anglo-Saxons are great, now Europe is still to be drawn into this conflict, as a result, a further weakening of Europe, my grandmother said in two about uranium (if like in Libya), in Africa everyone will gnaw with everyone, and they will fish in troubled waters.

Libyan media report that the French and Americans are conducting a large-scale mobilization of their military at the Al-Wig airbase in southern Libya, near the border with Chad and Niger.

About a week ago it was reported that a French transport plane arrived there with about 400 troops and light weapons on board. In the near future, this contingent is planned to be increased to 1 thousand. In the meantime, it seems that the Americans have managed to pull up their contingent.

According to the media, France intends to use the Libyan base to invade Niger through its northern territories at the same time as the intervention of the ECOWAS reserve forces.

The Commissioner for Peace and Security of the ECOWAS group, one Abd al-Fattah Musa, stated that "our group has decided on the exact date of the military invasion of Niger, but we will not announce exactly what date this will take place".

The remnants of colonial thinking can only be removed by surgery: therapy will not help.

The West is not investors, but a pump that pumps everything out of Africa.

It’s not so easy to wait in the countries of the Horn of Africa. Former colonialists will definitely screw up, they can’t do otherwise. It’s been a long time since US Marines on iron hooks were dragged across African soil behind cars.

If the new government in Niger has eggs, then they will fight off the interventionists.

Has this happened at least once in the history of Africa without our help? Or can it be considered, as in Somalia, that they fought off foreign intervention and lived happily there? As if this did not happen in Niger.

France has no choice. Only war can try to slow down the negative processes.

When cars were burned in Paris this summer (2023), shops were robbed...
France (Macron) chose to "endure" - to wait until the rioters subside on their own.
One can only imagine how much more refugees they will come, they will come to France under the pretext wars in niger...

If Algeria intervenes, by all means. He has hundreds of our Terminators alone (yes, while our MO was scratching a pumpkin, "why is it needed?", Algeria was actively buying Terminators on an industrial scale - for indeed, this is an ideal machine for Africa). And decent aviation. And Mali and Burkina Faso will be provided with infantry.

And Washington is already preparing an evacuation plan for two of its key drone bases in Niger, US Air Force Europe and Africa Command said.

According to US Air Force General James Hecker, the plan includes searching for US allied countries in the Sahara and Sahel regions where assets could be moved.

The US Senate was outraged because of one drone base in Niger, and there were even two of them ...
