Nigeria, being one of the largest and most populous countries in Africa, has had various military conflicts with neighboring countries and regional actors over the years. Here are some examples of countries in Africa that Nigeria's military has had conflicts with and the reasons for those conflicts:

1. Biafra (1967-1970): Nigeria experienced a civil war with the breakaway region of Biafra, which declared independence in 1967. The conflict was primarily over issues of political, ethnic, and economic differences between the Nigerian government and the secessionist Biafran state. The war ended in 1970 with Biafra's reintegration into Nigeria.

2. Chad (1978-1980): Nigeria and Chad engaged in a conflict known as the Chadian-Nigerian War, which was triggered by territorial disputes over the Lake Chad region. The conflict was eventually resolved through diplomatic negotiations.

3. Cameroon (1994): Nigeria and Cameroon had a territorial dispute over the Bakassi Peninsula, a region rich in natural resources and fishing grounds. The conflict was resolved through the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruling in 2002, which awarded the Bakassi Peninsula to Cameroon. Nigeria withdrew its troops from the region in 2008.

4. Sierra Leone (1997-2000): Nigeria was involved in the intervention in the Sierra Leone Civil War to support the government of Sierra Leone against the Revolutionary United Front (RUF) rebels. Nigeria contributed troops to the Economic Community of West African States Monitoring Group (ECOMOG) peacekeeping force.

5. Liberia (1990s): Nigeria played a significant role in the peacekeeping efforts during the First and Second Liberian Civil Wars. Nigerian troops were part of ECOMOG and the United Nations peacekeeping mission in Liberia.

6. Equatorial Guinea (2004): In 2004, the Nigerian government reported uncovering a coup plot in Equatorial Guinea, involving mercenaries allegedly attempting to overthrow the government. This strained diplomatic relations between the two countries, and some of the accused mercenaries were extradited from Nigeria to Equatorial Guinea to face trial.

7. Mali (2013-present): Nigeria has been involved in the multinational military effort to combat Islamist insurgencies in the Sahel region, particularly in Mali. Nigeria contributes troops to the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA) and the G5 Sahel Joint Force.

Nigeria's military engagements with other African countries have often been aimed at resolving regional conflicts, promoting peace, and supporting peacekeeping efforts, in addition to addressing security concerns and territorial disputes.

In the case of Coup in Niger Republic

The success of any military intervention by ECOWAS and Nigeria's military in restoring democracy in Niger Republic would depend on various factors, including the level of support from the international community, the willingness of the parties involved to engage in dialogue, and the effectiveness of the military operation itself.

ECOWAS, the Economic Community of West African States, has a history of engaging in peacekeeping and conflict resolution efforts in the region. Nigeria, being one of the major powers in West Africa, has also played a prominent role in regional security matters.

However, military intervention to restore democracy is a complex and delicate undertaking. It can carry risks, including the potential for increased violence and instability. Dialogue, diplomacy, and political engagement are critical components of any effort to restore democracy in a country facing a coup.

The involvement of private military companies, such as the Wagner Group, adds further complexities to the situation. Private military companies operate outside the framework of regular military forces and may have their own motivations and interests.

Ultimately, the success of restoring democracy in Niger Republic will depend on a comprehensive and coordinated approach involving regional and international partners, as well as the commitment of the parties involved to find a peaceful and democratic resolution to the crisis.

The only thing america is good at doing is to create and arm rebel groups to try and wrestler power out of the military government. Nobody can come from outside and topple the military government
