They imposed another fulani as the president and the people are revolting. Once Buhari leaves, Niger might erupt because he's the one financing the fukani agenda in that country.. |

There have been growing attacks by armed groups and political tensions in the country following Bazoum’s victory in a February presidential election runoff. Former president Mahamane Ousmane, who lost in the runoff, has rejected the results, alleging fraud. Ousmane had called for “peaceful marches” across the country, but a planned opposition protest on Wednesday in the capital was banned a day earlier by authorities. Last week, Niger’s top court confirmed Bazoum’s victory in the presidential runoff, allowing the ruling party candidate to be sworn into office on April 2. Bazoum’s inauguration on Friday will mark the West African country’s first transfer of power from one democratically elected leader to another. Bazoum, a former interior minister, was the preferred successor and right-hand man of outgoing President Mahamadou Issoufou, who stepped down after two five-year terms. Niger, one of the poorest countries in the world, has suffered numerous coups in its history, most recently a February 2010 putsch which toppled then-President Mamadou Tandja. |

Just over a week ago, gunmen on motorcycles attacked a series of villages located near the border with Mali, leaving at least 137 people dead in the deadliest violence to strike Niger in recent memory. Those attacks came on the same day that the constitutional court certified Bazoum’s electoral victory. In January, at least 100 people were killed in villages, the same day that Niger announced the presidential election would go to a second round on February 21. Niger’s armed forces – who number 25,000 – are poorly equipped and trained. The plan is to double this to 50,000 men within five years, but funding is key. Last year, violent protests broke out over a military procurement scandal officially estimated to have cost nearly $55m. |

Niger is history. Numerous armed groups killing at will, ineffectual leadership, rampant corruption, sound familiar? This is the cart, Buhari has tied himself to - as long as Fulani are in control, they do not care about civil war, insecurity or death. Each man, woman or child is on their own. |
