Will France Invade Because of Uranium Mines? Something BIG is about to happen in Niger | Niger coup

niger coup - Will Europe Declare war in Africa? Something BIG is about to happen in Niger - Late on Wednesday, July 26th, 2023, soldiers from Niger’s presidential guard under the command of Colonel Amadou Abdramane announced a coup on state television. They claimed that President Mohamed Bazoum, who was elected as president two years ago in the country’s first democratic transition of power, had been ousted from office. The coup leaders added that all institutions had been halted, the country’s borders had been shut, and the constitution had been annulled. Although news of the coup was objectively shocking, this development did not come as a surprise to many. After all, the coup is part of a larger trend in the region. Successful coups have been staged in neighbouring countries Burkina Faso, Mali, Chad and Guinea in the last three years. However, this particular coup in Niger is more significant than the others, but why is this so? The Niger coup is so consequential for international powers like Russia, America, and France because it will have a significant impact on the balance of power in the Sahel. The question now arises: How will this coup shape the future of the region, and what implications will it have on the dynamics between these global players and the countries in the Sahel? Some context is needed to understand why the Niger coup is such a big fuss. For starters, the coup in Niger is so significant to world powers because, in a broader sense, Africa itself has gained prominence on the international stage. In contrast to ageing populations in many Western countries, Africa’s population as a whole is very young, with 60% of the entire continent aged below 25, making it the youngest continent in the world. This demographic dividend offers vast economic potential and consumer markets for international players. Furthermore, Africa’s abundance of natural resources, particularly those critical for emerging industries like electric vehicles and alternative energy sources, such as uranium found in Niger, has become a focal point for global energy security and resource competition. The outcome of the coup in Niger, in this broader context, has the potential to reshape geopolitical dynamics and influence the strategies of major world powers as they vie for access to Africa’s resources and leverage its demographic dividend for economic and political gains. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ✅SUPPORT US /AFFILIATE LINKS Use this affiliate link for your purchases at #MIZIZI International - Support our channel - PayPal: newafricachannel(at) Follow us on Instagram - Follow us on Twitter - Join us on Facebook - ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ✅COPYRIGHT DISCLAIMER The New Africa Channel doesn’t fully own some of the materials compiled in its videos.
