Niger military coup d'etat removes pro France government from power

[Tshering22]

Too early to judge if its Putin or Anglo-Saxons, these 2-bit African leaders flip-flop on a dime...hope they work for the interests of their people for once.

Definitely Russia. Want to see proof in their neighbouring country?

Shit just got real in Burkina Faso. Russia just sent in an official Russian Army delegation of senior generals.

It's not Wagner any more; the state has taken charge.

I don't think Russia can replace West in purchasing raw Materials from African Countries.

These Afro nations are digging their own grave doing these antics.

Russia won't be replacing the Western purchase; we and the Chinese will. Indonesians and Vietnamese will. Mexicans and Brazilians will. Where do you think are all the production centers?

If you look at the number of nuclear plants being made and planned to be made in the next 2 decades, almost all of it is in the Global South, with the Chinese and us leading from the front.

Where do you think the uranium for these would come from? Russia's Rosatom would form a JV company with the Niger State uranium corporation and sell it to these countries.

A lot of friendshored companies are in these countries who need the raw materials to make things, apart from their own local companies. Mexico has a significant number of factories there. They need resources to make and therefore will import resources from Africa. Not only that, there is a lot of development work happening within Africa where nuclear plants, thermal plants, solar plants, etc. are needed.

We are gearing up for the biggest EV revolution in Asia after China's already completed one. Lithium and cobalt from Africa would form a critical part of it. Now picture this all being paid in either ₹ or in the proposed BRICS currency.

France just shot itself in the foot.

The sum total of the Russia Ukraine war is Russia telling the EU - hum toh doobe sanam , saath tumhe bhi le doobenge.

Russians are going nowhere. They sit on the most valuable stockpile of resources under a single country on earth.

In fact, their goal is to become the preferred source of resource supply for China and our markets and use this collective clout to dominate the geopolitical landscape against the US. Why do you think they have been hammering the Russia-China-India format everywhere even after knowing that China has ulterior motives and we don't get along with them?

This is basically Russia's plan, with Russia replacing Ajay Devgn and the two trucks being us and the Chinese:

Unless Algeria is on board, this is a tough sell but China could be sponsoring Ruskies to sustain the kinetic necessities....there is no easy sea access without Algeria to sustain any major ops. Provided Anglos aren't the background forces to displace white flaggin shit eating french...if its Ruskies without China then India may get some business but if its China behind the scenes then probably not much

Algeria's president officially announced that if Niger, Mali and others are attacked, Algeria will send reinforcements and supply arms. They even banned their airspace from French military use for this specific purpose a few weeks ago.

This is the SAHEL region's map. Nigeria is the only one holding out while the other ECOWAS members have chickened away from attacking the Coup Gang. Nigeria's parliament blocked their president from invading Niger and the latter is extremely unpopular already among Nigerians. If Nigeria buckles into a coup, the rest of ECOWAS will just fall like a stack of cards.

Don't go by the Western media's hyperbole - the reason why you see fluff pieces flying around discrediting other powers is because they are panicking like hell.

Algeria is very much on board with the rest of the BRICS powers. We tend to mock this group a lot, but apparently, after the new memberships were announced, it has become pretty serious.

We have over 50+ countries looking up to us like they never have in over a thousand years.

Please dont go overboard with everything.

We will have need for that much Uranium 20 years from now, not exactly today.

None of China, India, Indonesia, Mexico etc is going to replace the purchases from west.

If this is a China + Russia joint project and India is about to be sidelined, then consider this one another failed project after CPEC and BRI. Let us not underestimate India's capabilities, particularly in her backyard.

20 years is not a lot of time, however this is a different game. The goal is to cut off Europe from easy access to the natural resources. This is a win-win for USA, Russia, and China.

To be fair, had the western powers not been exploiting Africa's natural resources, those resources would have been sitting idle contributing a big ZERO to these African economies. Africans don't have a good track record on the governance and economic fronts.

I agree, wars are expensive. Russia's economy is not big enough for such adventures.

I agree, this is Russia that chickens out and licks west's boots at their convinience like backing out with Iran and India back in 1999 backing out on cryo and sanctioning Libya and so on. I won't trust anyone and neither would get into any geo political nonsense that barely impacts us....just keep it transactional and let the bastards fight each other for once and we reap from sidelines and scoop like hyenas aka China when an opportunity comes up. African leaders are the scum of earth and they need to prove themselves first, finding another daddy is more or less same

Algeria did that for obvious reasons and colonial hate towards French and Europe in general and their support to Morrocco and so on....Sudan is a mess and other coastal countries in your map aren't necessarily anti west to let Russian's come in by Sea. Algeria may have taken a stance against French but certainly not pro Russia yet. You may be getting carried away and Russia simply does not have ability to pull of any big ones but they can exploit for sure and they should. French are scum even compared to criminal UK

Do you really think that the West will completely stop all purchases overnight, looking at how desperate France is to keep its control over Francafrique?

Not even the US is that crazy, despite having massive resources of their own. The decoupling will be a gradual process.

The American purchasing power is fuelled by its infinite ability to borrow and print money. That borrowing capacity is going down as we speak in ways that are not overtly visible but to the trained eye and analysts in this area, very much visible. It again takes us back to the reserve currency debate. If something is going down, then something else must be going up. What do you think that is?

This entire eastward shift of power is different from what we are used to seeing (aka in the West) and is happening whether you wish to admit it or not. East's consumption in real value terms is going up and eventually will replace the westward flows. France and the US know this, which is why they want to maintain their stranglehold on resource-rich centers around the world. Colombia and Chile are two examples at a Latin American level.

The less is said about Russia's planning; is better. They can't even do sh*t on the world's economy right now.

You need to look deeper, bud. There is more to all this drama than meets the eye. Hint: study the commodity markets and link it up with what is called "alternate" media. You will find a lot of your answers there.

Algeria did that for obvious reasons and colonial hate towards France and Europe in general and their support to Morrocco and so on. Sudan is a mess and other coastal countries in your map aren't necessarily anti-west to let Russians come in by Sea.

Algeria may have taken a stance against the French but certainly not pro-Russia yet. You may be getting carried away and Russia simply does not have the ability to pull off any big ones but they can exploit for sure and they should. French are scum even compared to criminal UK

You assume that Russia's aim is to become the US replacement to the world. That is the Chinese goal. The Russians want to be the Chanakya of the world, not Chandragupta Maurya. They know very well that the world will never be bipolar like the Soviet days.

They don't want it to either; instead, they want to be able to have a stake in power through a resource-based valuation system, which puts the traditional Western powers in Europe at a considerable disadvantage. No country would completely ever side with the Russians over the Americans while vice versa is already happening.

That is because while the Russians cannot provide everything that the Americans can provide, they can create the means for others to make it happen.

All I'm saying is, India has to put up with quite a bit of restrictions to source nuclear material from Western countries.

We can bypass that and simply use it to build our arsenal. Doubt non Western countries will be opposed to this.

The restrictions are to bide our time till an alternate financial system is ready. If Dr. Jaishankar was to dial the new Niger junta leader today, he would immediately welcome him with a red carpet knowing the amount of nuclear fuel that we require in our power plants (both existing and under construction). While we may not do that directly, you must understand that we operate a lot under the table; a technique we have mastered to avoid confronting the Anglos & their EU minions.

The bypassing that you say, will happen. But only after the political dust settles down in Niger. I can assure you that had PM Modi been our ruler if we were in China's economic position today, there would be nothing covert.

Congratulations @Tshering22
You read the tea leaves well . India starts its move into the sahel region. They will only move eastwards from here .

India, Nigeria move closer with $14 billion in investment commitments

Nigeria has secured $14-billion investment commitments from Indian companies and the government to boost key sectors.

It's a matter of time. Realpolitik entered the Indian chat late, but better late than never. Nigeria is the ECOWAS cushion that we need to expand into SAHEL as a "neutral" player.

India should go for rooftop solar to meet half of all electicity requirements.

There is no restriction if we are willing to tighten our political belts a little. India's major uranium export partners are Russia and Canada. Then there is also the element of indigenous nuclear reactors which we have just recently mastered. They are small, but serve our purpose of a de-centralized power distribution concept.

Judging by the things that are going on right now, this will soon have an African component and Niger would be among the first to supply uranium to India. We should establish ties with them slowly once the dust settles and France accepts the change.

Not possible across the country. Most plains receive good sunlight and can try this, but the mountainous states have difficulty accessing them since many of the houses are in valleys, with limited 360-degree solar directional access.

Solar + nuclear + tidal + hydro + conventional combination is the only option. Unless you have discovered a way to harnessing black holes without ripping this dimension apart.

90% Indians live in Plains only. We need cheap and in bulk manufacturing solar panels. Like in Rs 1-2 lakh 5 kw should be installed.

Even in plains, there are extended months of rains. There's monsoon that affects almost all of the country at the same time. How will adequate solar be made then?

A combination is the way to go
