Wealthy Jihadist

I feel an action leads to another, especially with regards to the destabilization of middle-east and northern Africa. Which leads to influx of weapons to the black-market that wealthy jihadists uses to cause chaos.

We only need the support of the Americans and military intervention in Niger will commence.

The main threat Nigerian troops will face will come from Wagner, however I don't see Wagner commiting major forces in Niger either. They are mainly preoccupied in Belarus, military intervention in Niger is not necessarily a geopolitical struggle, although it has some of the ingredients needed to make it one between the US and Russia.

For deployment, I suspect the Nigerian Air Force will deploy the following assets.

- 2 x JF-17

- 4 x F-7NI.

These aircrafts will mainly carry out the bulk of Air Interdiction missions & CAP.

I don't think Nigeria will deploy combat helicopters because of threats of the aircrafts been shot down, that's if Wagner are in the area. If there's no threat of Wagner, Attack Helicopters will be deployed in my opinion.

Nigeria plans to carry out many of the bombing missions using UCAVs. UCAV losses I think would be more bearable.

The army composition is much harder to predict. Nigerian army has enough firepower to press on this intervention, who knows we might see that more Heavy weaponry might have been purchased than what has been reported or visually sighted.

In my opinion, I don't think we should allow this coup in Niger to stand, it presents a major national security risk for Nigeria.

The preferred scenario would be for the factions of the Nigerien Army that do not support the coup to join the intervention forces in the initial phase of the operation. An armored company of 12-14 VT-4s and an artillery battery FH-77 or 122mm MLRS would be sufficient to head an advance into the outskirts of Niamey and occupy key strategic positions to allow loyal Nigerien forces to liberate the capital. Situational awareness through air platforms, HUMNIT intelligence, and speed of operation are key elements in this type of operation.


Many observers wonder why intervene in Niger but not previously in Mali, Guinea and Burkina Faso? The answer: there, the toppled presidents agreed to resign, thereby endorsing the coups. In Niger this is not the case and Mohamed Bazoum remains the legal head of state.

Exploiting the cracks in their ranks is the best way to go.

Before we go into full whatever special operations in Niger, it's better we understand what really caused the problems. Honestly, you will find out it has a huge similarity with what Nigeria is currently facing. Basically unsatisfied tribes. The french guy basically predicted the Niger coup.

I don't understand how Mali entered into this bad agreements with France.

After independence, 14 French-speaking countries signed 11 agreements with France which are as follows :

AGREEMENT n⁰1:

THE COLONIAL DEBT TO REPAY THE BENEFITS OF COLONIZATION.

That is to say that the newly independent states must reimburse the cost of the infrastructures built by France during the colonization.
We are always looking for the details of the costs, the evaluation of the benefits and the payment conditions imposed by France on African countries.

AGREEMENT N⁰ 2 :

THE AUTOMATIC CONFISCATION OF NATIONAL FINANCIAL RESERVES.

That is to say that African countries must deposit their financial reserves with the Banque de France. Thus, France has been “guarding” the financial reserves of fourteen African countries since 1961: Benin, Burkina Faso, Guinea Bissau, Ivory Coast, Mali, Niger, Senegal, Togo, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, Chad, Congo-Brazzaville, Equatorial Guinea and Gabon.

Thus, the governance of monetary policies remains asynchronous and incomplete due to the fact that it is managed directly by the French government, without any link with the financial authorities of countries such as ECOWAS or CEMAC.

Thus, due to the conditions that bind the banks of the 14 countries of the CFA economic and financial zones, they are obliged to keep 65% of their foreign exchange reserves in an operations account maintained by the French Treasury, as well as an additional 20% in order to cover “financial risks”.

In addition, the banks of the CFA zones impose a credit limit on each member country, equivalent to 20% of state revenues in the current budget year, although the BEAC or the BCEAO have higher withdrawal possibilities from the French Treasury. These withdrawals must first be the subject of the agreement of the French Treasury.
The final decision, therefore, rests with the French Treasury, which has itself invested the reserves of African countries on the Paris stock exchange.

In other words, 85% of African financial reserves are deposited in an operation account controlled by the French administration.

The two banks in the CFA zone are African by their names but do not decide any of the monetary policies by themselves.
The worst thing is that the countries themselves do not even know how much of their financial reserves are due to them.

AGREEMENT n⁰3 :

THE RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL ON ANY RAW OR NATURAL RESOURCE DISCOVERED IN THE COUNTRY.

That is to say that France has the first right to purchase the natural resources of the land of its former colonies. It is only after France has said: “I am not interested”, that African countries are allowed to look for other partners.

AGREEMENT n⁰4 :

PRIORITY TO FRENCH INTERESTS AND COMPANIES IN PUBLIC PROCUREMENT AND PUBLIC TENDERS.

In the awarding of public contracts, French companies have priority over tenders. Even if African countries can get better value for money elsewhere.

As a result, in most of the former French colonies, all the economic levers of the countries are in the hands of French expatriates. In Côte d’Ivoire, for example, French companies own and control all major public services including water, electricity, telephone, air transport, ports and major banks. It is the same in trade, construction and agriculture.

AGREEMENT n⁰5 :

EXCLUSIVE RIGHT TO PROVIDE MILITARY EQUIPMENT AND TRAIN MILITARY OFFICERS OF THE COLONIES.

Thanks to a sophisticated system of scholarships, grants, and the “defense agreements” attached to the colonial pact, Africans must send their senior officers for training in France and are obliged to provide themselves with military equipment with France.

AGREEMENT n⁰6 :

THE RIGHT FOR FRANCE TO DEPLOY TROOPS AND INTERVENE MILITARILY IN THE COUNTRY TO DEFEND ITS INTERESTS.

Under the so-called “defence agreements” attached to the colonial pact, France has the right to intervene militarily in African countries, and also to permanently station troops in military bases and installations, entirely managed by the French.

AGREEMENT n⁰7 :

THE OBLIGATION TO MAKE FRENCH THE OFFICIAL LANGUAGE OF THE COUNTRY AND THE LANGUAGE FOR EDUCATION.

An organization for the French language and the dissemination of French culture has even been created. It is called the “Francophonie” and has several satellite organizations. These organizations are affiliated to and controlled by the French Minister of Foreign Affairs.

AGREEMENT n⁰8 :

THE OBLIGATION TO USE THE CFA FRANC (FRANC OF THE FRENCH COLONIES IN AFRICA).*

Although this system is not shared by the European Union, the French colonies are forced to use the FCFA exclusively.

AGREEMENT n⁰9 :

THE OBLIGATION TO SEND TO FRANCE, AN ANNUAL BALANCE SHEET AND A REPORT ON THE STATE OF RESERVES. NO REPORT, NO MONEY.

That is to say that the director of the central banks of the former colonies presents the said report at the annual meetings of the Ministers of Finance on the former colonies. This report is then compiled by the Banque de France and the French Treasury.

AGREEMENT n⁰10 :

RENOUNCE ANY MILITARY ALLIANCE WITH OTHER COUNTRIES, UNLESS AUTHORIZED BY FRANCE.

Most of these countries only have military alliances with their ex-colonizers simply because France forbade them any other military alliance.

AGREEMENT n⁰11 :

THE OBLIGATION TO ALLY WITH FRANCE IN THE EVENT OF WAR OR A GLOBAL CRISIS.

More than a million African soldiers fought for the defeat of Nazism and fascism during the Second World War. Now that France is militarily linked to the European Union, NATO and the United States, Africa will de facto be committed to the side of France in the event of the 3rd World War.

Dear fellow Africans, eleven (11) agreements are still in force between France and the 14 countries of the CFA zone, and no French media or their so-called African specialists will ever talk about these sinister agreements that have been imposed on the African countries of the CFA zone.

Dear compatriots, that is why we do not stop denouncing this colonization which has now been practiced since 1960, by interposed persons, that is to say by leaders of their choices whom they support and whom they protect by imposing dictatorship on them in front of their own peoples.

What interests us today among these eleven agreements is the tenth (n⁰ 10) which says that the 14 countries of the CFA zone through the agreement, are not authorized to have a military alliance with other countries and are also not authorized to buy military equipment in another European country without the authorization of France,
that is why Mali has been blocked until today. But the situation has been unblocked, Mali can now freely cooperate with all the planet’s countries without asking France for permission.

Its in there blood; that's why they can never win this war. I have watched countless videos of them been inhuman amongst themselves and towards other nationalities helping them in this war.

Sure Ukraine has an Nazi problem which is however dwarfed by Russian racism.

Ukraine is our business abi

The same Russian that some of your country men are now seeing as liberator against western imperialism.

Wagner has really launched such a massive disinformation campaign in west Africa.

Tinubu has really been demonise in francophone west African countries.

Some people are just dumbasses that never learn. It’s good and all that there throwing off French Neo-Colonialism; but unfortunately it’s just getting replaced with a stereotypical African military regime with another president for life that’s going to run what little the country has into the ground creating Sahelian Zimbabwe.

The regional misinformation campaign, arrest, sanctions, rise of islamist, climate change, and the invitation to Wagner has really turned Niger into a top tier $hit show.

A $hit show right at Nigeria’s border.🙄

As seen somewhere in sokoto state

if Ecowas proceeds with the planned milItary intervention in Niger, it is an invasion of a sovereign state and one against the will of the Citizens.

I learnt the Deposed leader was about signing an order from france to release some terrorists in Niger prisons and were immediately restrained by some soldiers in the presidential guards who then called on the military Heads to take over.

Nigeria shouldn't be part of any plan to Destabilize West Africa.

1. Social media bias and deception. Niger is a divided society just like Nigeria. Most support for the coup is within the Hausas in Southern Niger which is more urban and populated. The Northern part of Niger is occupied by tuaregs and other tribes which are against the coup for Tribalism and also for the fact that most of the US counter insurgency operations and humanitarian operations have been centered on the northern rural part so they're direct beneficiaries of US assistance. Especially in Agadez. All tribal chiefs in the north are under free medical care from the US military. Also with security protection from terrorism, it is difficult to see how Northern Niger will drop support for America.

If the Niger coup finally succeeds, they will not be able to control northern Niger as things stand. There could be a Syria situation in Niger with split governments supported by world powers.

Whatever story you heard about France this or that is likely bullshit. You know that when you carry a France narrative or even Russia for everything going on in Africa, you're indirectly agreeing with white supremacists who say that black are dumb and can't think for themselves.

you depend on News and social media For info, i get my info from those on ground,
who do you think has a more reliable source..

All American aid comes with a hidden price.
Yes, they provide much aid for poor Nigeriens but mine their uranium at a very low price.

We all think france is the sole culprit in the illegal mining of Niger Uranium but US gets almost same quantity of Uranium as france frm Niger.
How about the massacre In a village carried out by french forces, and when Nigerien troops caught them and were taking them to their barrack, they were all bombed to shreds by an aircraft, with no survival, not even the captured french operators or nigerien soldiers survived.

I repeat this is a needless war, and Nigeria participating will be a show of shame

And where’s the proof to any of this. That’s a big @ss accusation and please don’t tell me you just “heard it from the ground”. We need to see viable proof here.😂

Also you completely ignored the second half of his statement. What about the Nigeriens that don’t agree with the coup leader both from the North and South? Did you know there was an anti-coup protest in Niamey the day after the coup?

We’ve already been over this a dozen times. France has been virtually thrown out; but unfortunately it’s just getting replaced with a stereotypical African military regime with another president for life that’s going to run what little the country has into the ground creating Sahelian Zimbabwe and no not all Nigeriens are happy about this.

The regional misinformation campaign, arrest, sanctions, rise of islamist, northern tribes, climate change, and the invitation to Wagner to the country has really turned Niger into a top tier $hit show.

Nigeria doesn’t care about France getting the boot it just doesn’t want this $hit show at its borders. The north already has enough problems as is. We don’t want African Syria at the borders. Simple as that.

All of this could have been avoided if he’d just agreed to eventually convert to civilian rule and nobody besides France would have cared; but nope he’s the new President for life.

The ambush of the NA in Niger State was a huge shock "local men" where thinking those Baskads have been death or at least migrated up north only for them to show their ugly head again same place that a clearance operation was conducted about 2 or 3 weeks ago

Niger junta bows to pressure, demands meeting with ECOWAS.

After weeks of resisting diplomatic overtures from the United Nations, African Union, Economic Community of West African States and the United States, the junta in Niger Republic has finally agreed to talks with the ECOWAS to resolve the political crisis in the Sahel country.

The positive signal from the military leaders followed a meeting with a group of Nigerian Islamic clerics in Niamey on Saturday.

Zeine noted “We have agreed and the leader of our country has given the green light for dialogue. They will now go back and inform the Nigerian President what they have heard from us. We hope in the coming days, they (ECOWAS) will come here to meet us to discuss how the sanctions imposed against us will be lifted.”
