ruffhandu:
There is sense in this talk.
I learnt Nigeria has cut off electricity to niger, thus breaching a pact with the country signed may years ago iro kainji dam. I see the dam not having sufficient water to function in the coming days, or the dam being brown up completely, thus throwing a section of Nigeria into darkness.
Tinubu is fighting to be accepted, he is a tool for France (we all know his relationship with France). But like he has been warned, he should watch his back lest he faces a coup himself. Eliminate terrorism in Nigeria first before going to fight a sovereign Nation.

I agree, there is a quote saying: Clean your own house before speaking of your neighbors affairs

‘Russia Will Back Niger Republic Against Nigeria’ — Tinubu Warned Against Starting ‘War’

Nigeria’s President Bola Tinubu has been urged to exercise caution after West African leaders led by him threatened to take military action against the new junta that recently ousted President Mohamed Bazoum of Niger Republic.

Bazoum was removed by his personal security aides in the country’s presidential guard — making it the sixth successful coup to be recorded in West Africa since August 2020.

Colonel Major Amadou Abdramane announced the overthrow of Bazoum who took power on April 2, 2021.

THE WHISTLER reported that President Tinubu who doubles as the chairperson of ECOWAS had in his first reaction warned the junta that “the world will not tolerate any situation that incapacitates the democratically-elected government” of Niger Republic.

The ECOWAS leaders subsequently held an emergency meeting on Sunday in Abuja, where they resolved to forcefully invade Niger Republic to restore democratic order in the country.

Amid the threat, the junta reportedly announced that it was immediately suspending the export of uranium and gold to France, with the country said to account for 24% export of uranium to the EU.

But Shehu Sani, the former Senator representing Kaduna Central Senatorial District of Kaduna State, has warned President Tinubu not to “allow himself to be pushed to initiate and trigger a war with a neighbouring country and later be left stranded”.

According to him, Russia may back Niger Republic against Nigeria in the event that a war supervenes.

In a tweet, Sani gave the following thirteen reasons Tinubu should tow the path of negotiation instead of subscribing to use of force in resolving the problem.

1 Ecowas armed invasion of Niger Republic is simply a war between Nigeria and Niger because of our proximity.

2 Russia and Wagner May come in support of Niger Republic and Nigeria will have to use its own money to prosecute the operation; Nigeria offsets 70percent of the budget of Ecowas. I don’t see the US Congress approving unlimited arm supplies for Ecowas to wage war against another country.

3 Our Bordering states of Sokoto, Zamfara, Katsina, Jigawa and Yobe will incur direct hit in the event of war.

4 If there was no military action to dislodge the military coupists in Guinea, Mali, Burkina Faso and Chad,why that of Niger Republic?.

5 Why did the American and French military bases inside Niger Republic refused to stop the coup and now they are encouraging us to go to war?

6 Niger has been helpful to Nigeria in the fight against terrorists groups and the country is currently hosting over 303 thousand Nigerian refugees; in the event of war this can be in danger.

7 President Tinubu should not allow himself to be pushed to initiate and trigger a war with a neighbouring country and later be left stranded.No west African country has any military capability to start or sustain a war with Niger Republic;everyone will be relying on Nigeria.

8 We should not cry more than the bereaved; If the people of Niger Republic don’t want Military rule,let them fight to remove it themselves.We fought our own military rulers and some of us even went to jail in that struggle.Let them fight their fight.

9 Saudi Arabia is still bugged down in Yemen after spending hundreds of billions of dollars which we don’t have.

10 The Military Regime in Myanmar is still there and not one stronger nation is contemplating military action.

11 We have a war at home against terrorism let’s concentrate here.

12 Mali, Burkina Faso and Guinean forces will likely enter the war to Support Niger Republic and they will attack Nigerian territories.

13 President Tinubu must continue to toe the line of dialogue with the military authorities in Niger and not War.

Africa’s Youngest President Ibrahim Traore Says The Continent's Story Has To Change

Burkina Faso’s 35-year-old President Ibrahim Traore has set social media ablaze with his comments lamenting how Africa, despite all of its richness in natural resources, is still so poor that its leaders have to travel to the West to beg for aid. He made these comments while attending the second edition of the just-ended Russia-Africa Summit in St. Petersburg, Russia, that took place from July 27th-July 28th, 2023. President Ibrahim Traore, who is Africa’s youngest president, also stressed the need for African countries to forge new alliances moving forward to guarantee a brighter future for their people. Said to have been a shy but intelligent boy in school, Burkina Faso's Captain Ibrahim Traoré is one of the most recent military commanders to capture power in a coup in one of France's former colonies in West Africa.

Traoré was part of the group of army officers that supported the January 2022 Burkina Faso coup d'état and brought the Patriotic Movement for Safeguard and Restoration military junta to power. From March 2022, he served as the head of an artillery regiment in Kaya, the fifth largest city in Burkina Faso, lying northeast of Ouagadougou. However, he was catapulted onto the world stage after overthrowing his ex-comrade Lieutenant Colonel Paul-Henri Damiba on September 30th, 2022, accusing him of breaking his vow to put an end to the Islamist conflict that has plagued Burkina Faso since 2015.

Any military intervention in Niger to restore deposed President Mohamed Bazoum would be considered a "declaration of war against Burkina Faso and Mali", the two countries said in a joint statement Monday.

In a joint press release read on July 31, 2023 by the Minister in charge of communication, spokesperson for the Burkinabè government,
Burkina Faso and Mali reaffirmed their solidarity with the people of Niger and refuse to apply the ECOWAS sanctions.
The two partner countries have also threatened to leave ECOWAS if the sub-regional organization intervenes militarily in Niger, a situation
which would amount to a declaration of war against Burkina Faso and Mali

Wagner ready to help the Niger Army

If fighting insurgency is not easy, why do Tinubu think that fighting the Niger Army is so easy?

fuckJones:
The Niger military with a combined force of less than 15,000 boots including Airforce personnel isn't up the 82 composite Division Enugu, 3 Armoured Div Jos, 81 Division Lagos Garrison Command. They can't withstand Land and Air forces of the Nigerian and Ecomog forces. The after-effect of the military action is the reason for caution. Let's not add the 1st Division in Kaduna and 2nd Division in Oyo.

Niger's Armed Forces is now allied with the Burkina Faso and Mali Armed Forces

Wagner ready to help the Niger Army

aremubabs:
You think fighting insurgency is easy? Insurgents don't fight conventional warfare, and the military are not trained in nonconventional warfares, that is why even the US Army struggle against insurgents.



Look at Al-Queda. How come it has not been defeated despite the US huge defense budget against terrorism?



Hope you know that Boko Haram is the third deadliest terrorist group in the world with funding from ISIS (the second deadliest terrorist group)?

I agree, and if fighting insurgency is not easy, why do Tinubu think that fighting the Niger Army is so easy?
The population in Niger support Niger's Armed Forces who is now allied with the Burkina Faso and Mali Armed Forces
