This is one of the reasons why despite everything people say about Abacha, he still remains one of Nigeria's best leaders for me.

During his tenure, US, Britain, France...etc, all closed down their embassies in Nigeria and left.

Abacha's children schooled here in Nigeria. Abacha himself never toured Europe and America, he ruled in Nigeria, lived in Nigeria and died in Nigeria.

It's good to see other African countries getting rid of European parasites. They don't mean well for you. All they do is come to your country, build their military base, find a way of accessing your resources and ship it back to their country whilst leaving you in abject poverty.

But his loots were kept in Us and Uk.

We don't have anything to gain in this war. We'll only lose. The Northern people are very close to the Niger people. This will further destabilize the North. I don't support the Nigeria Army invading Niger.

Mali and Burkina Faso have jointly pledged their support for Niger' s military government and issued a warning to the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) against any potential invasion of Niger. In a joint statement on Monday, the two countries, both of which recently witnessed military takeovers, expressed solidarity with Niger' s military leadership and vowed to assist the people of Niger in defending against any invaders.

The statement from Mali and Burkina Faso underscored their determination, stating that any military intervention targeting Niger would be considered an act of war against both Mali and Burkina Faso. They further threatened to withdraw their ECOWAS membership immediately if such an invasion were to occur. Additionally, they asserted their commitment to supporting Niger' s armed forces and its people by adopting self- defense measures.

In their statement, Mali and Burkina Faso criticized ECOWAS and its leaders, accusing them of hypocrisy. The transitional governments of both countries expressed deep indignation and surprise at the perceived imbalance between the swift calls for military intervention to restore constitutional order in Niger and the lack of action, indifference, and passive complicity in helping other West African states and peoples that have been victims of terrorism for a decade.

This development comes in response to ECOWAS' s decision over the weekend to leave military options on the table for Niger if the coup plotters refuse to relinquish power to democratically- elected President Mohamed Bazoum and return to their barracks. ECOWAS also threatened to impose sanctions, including trade and airspace blockades, on Niger.

" President Mohamed Bazoum was ousted from office on July 27 when soldiers declared an indefinite curfew and closed all borders in the country. Colonel Amadou Abdramane, who appeared to be among the coup leaders, directly addressed President Bazoum, citing the deteriorating security situation and governance issues as reasons for seizing power. "

The military takeover in Niger has drawn condemnation from the international community, including the United States of America and the United Nations. ECOWAS, under the leadership of President Bola Tinubu of Nigeria, has also voiced its disapproval of the coup.

I have since arrived at this conclusion, Abacha' s disregard for the so called Western powers paid off. Naira was stable and had value. The price of commodities remained unchanged throughout his tenure.

Following the failure of the West African diplomatic delegation to Niger to seek the release and reinstatement of ousted President Mohamed Bazoum, the Niger coup leaders have ended all connections including military agreements with France, its former colonial ruler, as international pressure mounts on them to restore democratic order in the country.

You will recall that Tinubu as the Chairman of the ECOWAS' Authority of Heads of State and Government sent a delegation led by former military Head of State, Gen Abdulsalam Abubakar to Niger yesterday.

The delegation left without spending the night, even as ECOWAS' deadline to the junta for restoring Bazoum to power and the country’s constitution by Sunday draws closer.

The coup leaders also called back home Niger's ambassadors and warned citizens to be wary of foreign armies and spies. This was disclosed on the country’s television as the delegation dispatched by Nigeria’s President Bola Tinubu met the coup leader, Gen Abdourahmane Tchiani on Thursday.

The coup leaders also cut ties with the United States and Nigeria, as the deadline given by the West African regional bloc will expire in two days. The international community is asking the Tchiani-led military to release and reinstate ousted President Mohamed Bazoum.

The ousted president in a plea published in a Washington Post opinion piece said, “I write this as a hostage and urged the U.S. and partners to help.”

However, the Niger coup leaders made an announcement terminating the military agreements and protocols signed with France and announced the end of functions for Niger’s ambassadors to France, the United States, Togo and neighbouring Nigeria, which is leading ECOWAS efforts on dialogue.

“All aggression or attempt at aggression against the state of Niger will see an immediate response and without warning,” said a spokesman for the coup leaders, Col. Maj. Amadou Abdramane.

Anyone who loves this country should caution Tinubu from getting involved in this crisis...

These guys are probably being supported by China and Russia...

The minimum that will precipitate from any military intervention will be a civil war...

It is probably a trap: don't jump into it!

France and his troops are thieves masquerading as fighters just to steal the resources in Niger. They are the rebels and the peace keeping force all in one. African soldiers are gradually liberating their nations from French puppet who are stooges of french stealing of their resources. A support for the military junta in Niger is a support for independence of Niger from French slavery.

That’s a good question. The West gets involved in countries that beg for handouts. France and the EU have cut all aid to Niger and the US will soon follow—it’ll be interesting to watch the military government in Nigeria operate with almost no money.
Have those grain shipments arrived? If they ever do, the military will seize and sell the grain—it’ll never reach the citizens.

France has about 1,500 troops in Niger under bilateral agreements between the two countries to fight Islamist terrorism in the Sahel region. The U.S. also has about 1,100 troops in the country and has spent $500 million to train and arm the Nigerien armed forces since 2012.

If that is the only thing holding them let them take uranium or gold worth $500 million and F the hell out besides the 2,600 troops from both France and USA stationed in Niger couldn't stop the coup and terrorist has not been eradicated so why are they still struggling to stay relevant in Niger that has rejected them just go and make peace instead of instigating military intervention peace is all we need .
