The Root Cause Of The Coup In Niger by thisisit: 8:12pm On Aug 04, 2023
The head of the "Wagner Group," Yevgeny Prigozhin, expressed his views on the root of the problems in Niger:

"I will answer what is the basis for the change of power in Niger. The basis is the economy. The population of Niger has been driven into poverty for a long time.

For example, a French company that extracted uranium sold it on the market for $218, while paying Niger only $11 for it. You can work with investors on a 50-50 or 30-70 (%) basis, but it's impossible to give back to the indigenous people of the country, who were born in this country, who live in this country, and who expect that the natural resources of this country belong to them, and according to the Constitution, they belong to them, only 5% of the wealth you receive.

To cover up these economic crimes, the country was saturated with a huge number of terrorists. This enormous number of terrorists, theoretically, should have been controlled by a vast number of different troops, financed by the UN, the European Union, Americans, the British, and others. As a result, the population of Niger, which should have been free and happy due to the economic opportunities in their country, was robbed, and to keep them silent, they were kept in fear for decades.

To show that these thieves and plunderers are needed in the state's territory, I mean Western countries like France, the USA, and so on, crowds of soldiers were sent there who did nothing but received enormous budgets that were also embezzled at various levels. That's why the transformation in Niger was simply necessary.

The power that was in league with Bazoum (ousted president) and his followers, simply covered up, allowing the coalition of people who plundered the nation to be present in Niger's territory. That's it. Therefore, this is a liberation struggle, a liberation movement for the independence of this country, and God grant them success."

So which solution would they proffer to improve the economy?
Fix prices,confiscate the market of those that sell at high prices and close businesses that charge high for services?
That has been the format of African military coups.Then they vow to fight corruption,imprison politicians, meanwhile they then assert and perpetuate themselves in power while perpuating themselves in power.
Clowns that should be booted out of power!
