Coup in Niger: A sign of waning Western influence? | DW News
--- Quote ---
> France has started evacuating its citizens from Niger after a
military coup. The first French evacuation flight out of Niger
arrived in Paris early on Wednesday morning. France has sent
three planes to Niamey to evacuate French and European citizens
in the wake of a coup last week that toppled pro-Western leader
Mohamed Bazoum. "Considering the ongoing coup in Niger and the
fact that the situation continues to be worrying, we decided to
make sure that the French citizens who want to leave Niger can
do so," Colonna said.
>
> What else do we know about evacuations?
> According to French Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna, the
first flight with over 260 individuals has left the capital,
Niamey late on Tuesday. 12 of those on board were babies. The
foreign ministry said that most of the passengers were French
citizens, and that there were also citizens of Niger, Portugal,
Belgium, Ethiopia and Lebanon on board. Italy also said it would
send a special flight to repatriate its nationals from the
capital Niamey. Spain's Defense Ministry announced preparations
to evacuate more than 70 nationals. Italian Foreign Minister
Antonio Tajani announced that a special flight took off from
Niamey late on Tuesday and was scheduled to arrive early on
Wednesday. Tajani said that there are almost 100 Italians in
Niger.

48 hours in a letter that accused him of ignoring an invitation

> France's ambassador has remained in Niger despite being given
a 48-hour deadline to leave the country last Friday, French
President Emmanuel Macron confirmed in a defiant speech.

deteriorating bilateral ties.

while footage posted on social media appears to show local
Muslim imams leading prayers outside the base.

> In Monday's speech, Mr Macron defended France's military
presence in Niger, stating that without intervention from Paris,
the country would "no longer exist" with its "existing borders".

intensified recently, with some opponents complaining France's
intervention was a modern form of colonialism.

If you want NATO-NAM merger, you must accept the reality that
you must wipe out "whites" from controlling NATO's governmental
power. So we can ensure that Western Civilization totally perish
in EU or even "America". Replace their constitution with
candidates from "colored immigrants" first, so we will see
genetically and politically leftist candidates who will control
the EU.
"Whites" already existed for thousands of years yet cannot being
ethical and behave properly. The problem is on their blood and
their large-scale existence. Thousand times of "proper
education" even not make them aware and enlightened.

Bazoum

interference” as they accused President Emmanuel Macron, who has
reiterated his support for ousted leader Mohamed Bazoum, of
“perpetuating a neocolonial operation against the Nigerien

military action, after the July 26 coup against President
Bazoum, a close ally of France.

when it so decides, [its] military” action.
>
> Speaking on state TV Abdramane said: “Mr Macron’s comments and
his unceasing efforts in favour of an invasion of Niger aim at
perpetuating a neocolonial operation against the Nigerien
people, who ask for nothing more than to decide its own destiny
for itself.”

France’s military base in Niger to demand its troops leave.

Russia Claims Niger Junta Assassination Plot, Says US Rattled By
"geopolitical awakening of Africa"
--- Quote ---
> The Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) has claimed
that the US is considering to assassinate Niger junta leaders.
RT reported that the US does not want to rely on military
intervention by Niger’s regional neighbours, as per the SVR’s
assessment. According to Russian Intelligence, Washington is
“not satisfied” with events in the former French colony. The US
prefers a ‘wetwork’ solution by a proxy rather than military
action by the Economic Community of West African States
(ECOWAS), SVR said. ECOWAS has threatened to invade Niger to
restore its ousted president Mohamed Bazoum to office, but has
yet to act. Is the Biden administration planning to eliminate
the Niger junta leaders? Watch this video to know more.

Burkina Faso Troops In Niger As US Tries To Stay “As Long As
Possible”, ECOWAS Sanctions Spark Fury
--- Quote ---
> Several military units from Burkina Faso's Armed Forces have
arrived in the coup-hit Niger, Sky News Arabia reported. The
move comes a week after Burkina Faso junta on August 31 approved
a bill to send the country's forces to Niger to prevent
terrorism. However, it was not clear how many military personnel
were deployed in the West African nation.
> The move by Burkina Faso is apparently in reaction to the
threat by the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS)
to restore democracy in Niger. ECOWAS has imposed harsh
sanctions on Niger and demanded the rebels release Bazoum,
threatening to use force if they did not do so. The West African
bloc had threatened to use "force" to reinstate the Niger’s
deposed President Mohamed Bazoum.

Macron says France to withdraw ambassador, troops from Niger
--- Quote ---
>
>
> French President Emmanuel Macron said Sunday that France will
end its military presence in Niger and pull its ambassador out
of the country after its democratically elected president was
deposed in a coup.
>
> The announcement is a significant, if predicted, blow to
France's policy in Africa, after French troops pulled out of
neighbouring Mali and Burkina Faso in recent years after coups
there. France had stationed thousands of troops in the region at
the request of African leaders to fight jihadist groups.
>
> Tensions between France and Niger, a former French colony,
have mounted in recent weeks, and Macron said recently that
diplomats were surviving on military rations as they holed up in
the embassy.
>
> The junta in August gave French Ambassador Sylvain Itte 48
hours to leave. After the deadline expired without France
recalling him, the coup leaders then revoked his diplomatic
immunity.
>
> The junta is now under sanctions by Western and regional
African powers.
>
> In New York on Friday, the military government that seized
power in Niger accused UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres of
"obstructing" the West African nation's full participation at
the UN's annual meeting of world leaders in order to appease
France and its allies.
