As if Putin can handle 2 Wars at once

I wonder where the op got the news.

‘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.

And this news is coming from where

Pakute:

Shattap dia, despite military takeover in Mali,Burkina faso, terrorists still dey tear those countries as we speak. All of una supporting military coup, thinking it'd solve terrorism, be like una don carry head knack for ground. Terrorists are taking over more territories in Mali despite Wagner's noise and bullshit.

Wagner was never in those place to fight terrorism, they only provide protection for elites. In any kind of war those guys will run away.

SalamRushdie:


They didn't run away , it was Buhari that told them to leave

From clowns called mercenaries.

West Africa will be Wagner's graveyard in the advent of war.

panafrican:
ECOWAS is opening the Pandora's box.

Alliance of clowns.

Kazikazi:

Presumption.

Base on reality at hand.

Kazikazi:



Your problem is to base your arguments without proof.What is even worrying is how the same Nigerian army which failed to deal with home insecurities will be able to deal with the unknown enemy in a foreign land.

What proof do you have to support your own claim.

Nigeria is battling religious triggered terrorism and have been able to managed it till date without outside force.

And what do you mean by an unknown enemy? An enemy that has location, known strength is not unknown enemy. Niger military will fight has a conventional force not a guerrilla muchkins and they will lose against Nigeria woefully. No country in Africa comes close to Nigeria in military projection and fire power outside Egypt, Algeria and South Africa.

If Nigeria declares a no fly zone in Niger today, no single aircraft will fly that airspace.

Kazikazi:

Again,Do u think it's so hard for Russia to support Niger? Is it not the same Russia which was in Angola, Mozambique and so many other places in africa?

Angola and Mozambique are not democratic country taken by coup.

Kazikazi:

What will be the reasons for Russia not to support Niger?

What will Russia gain supporting Niger?

What is so important to Russia in Niger that they will want to spend the money they don't have to fund a war that is to lose?

Why will Russia make an enemy of real economy giants of WA for a country like Niger?

Wainey:
I think Ecowas should let these people be.

They are looking for a better life and had no other choice,
though military dictatorship isn't the best for of govt and I hope they see beyond their nose and look for a voice in democracy than settling for a military rule.

My happiness is that Africa is now waking up and asking their leaders some questions.

Those generals are fighting for their pockets. They carried out that coup cause Baz removed their beloved general who have been dealing with illegal gold sales on the black market.

FreeStuffsNG:
Yinmu.

They are sponsored by the coup plotters. We have watched this film before. Everyone who is experienced will know the coup plotters are jittery. They ain't seen anything yet.

All those Russian flags the coup plotters produced en masse overnight and shared for their sponsored protesters will not save them. If he wants to rule, he should remove uniform, join or form a political party and contest. Anything short of that is a no no.

You are wise.

Kazikazi:


That's what Russia was thinking about Ukraine,but a year later into the war,we realize Ukraine isn't a walk over. Many nations are behind Ukraine

Russia and Ukraine war is different from what is likely to play out in Niger, no country will openly support Niger outside West Africa. They will be subdued in no time.

Kazikazi:

The same scenario can play out in Niger situation where the west wl use Nigeria to wage a war and Russia will use Algeria to defend Niger.

The West isn't using anyone to fight a proxy war against Russia here in West Africa. Algeria is not going to defend anybody for Russia stop dreaming man. Algeria won't step foot on the West African region to fight ECOWAS in advent of war with Niger.

Kazikazi:

Never underestimate your enemy especially more when you go into his territory.Remember Vietnam with US?

Vietnam case is different from Niger.

Faithful007:
Maybe you could also use a web crawler to scrap everything I've posted on here, save it on a database, then use it to train a machine learning algorithm that can predict the size of my d*ck. I'll tell you if you got it right. At this point its pretty obvious nothing is going on in your life.

I don't know how someone just becomes shamelessly obesssed over a faceless person on the internet.

You don't need that.

jackcanfield:
No be their financial they don send packaging .. Soldiers wey no get National interest at heart.

Let's see where the money comes from.

Blue3k:
Lol, I love how Nigeria is pushing the Coupist in Niger to get wise. After this, what's stopping them from building more dams or even a nuclear power plant. It will probably signal to the other nations upstream you can't trust Nigeria. I doubt cutting their electricity supplies will force a regime change nit it will definitely force a policy change regarding self sufficiency in vital areas..

That dam will take forever to construct.

Dvdpity:

You are hundreds percent right. Should Nigeria, the puppet of UK and USA invade Niger Republic, Biafra will declare independent and Nigeria will fight on two fronts..or even multiple fronts..

What a joke.

Kazikazi:


But in a war,it's always a law which says,never underestimate your enemy.

Of course, but some realities are too real to question. They will lose badly in the advent of war.

Kazikazi:

Remember Algeria is also backing them

This is far from reality. What can they offer Algeria that Nigeria can't? What can of support are we talking about? Military and emotional support? etc.

Note: Algeria is a member of G4 which Nigeria, South Africa, and Ethiopia are part of, so your assumption of Algeria supporting Niger and its fellow weaklings is a joke.

Delusional writeup I must say.

JOemmy:
So niger also shares border with Algeria? Never knew that.

Niger is a case of a headless chicken running without direction. The new regime won't last.

Litmus:
Excuse for the West to covertly disrupt Dangote refinery and generally prevent Nigeria self sufficiency wich Nigeria is accelerating with the help of China, loading.

Lol, you people should stop all these conspiracy theories. Niger is a country that needs Nigeria more than Nigeria needs them. They will be dealt with.

baralatie:

Well it is not free
Russia will require ownership of the mineral resource and accounts!
Something that these coup leaders in francophone countries turn their eye blind to
Example in the rich wartorn central Africa in flames

Russia won't be that stupid to provide anything for a country to confront ECOWAS.

According to Burkina Faso's interim president, Ibrahim Traore, Russian President Vladimir Putin is willing to provide weapons free of charge to an African nation during the ongoing tensions in Niger.

In a conversation with Sputnik Africa on Monday, Traore discussed the support received from Russia, emphasising that Putin was extremely generous and offered unrestricted assistance in supplying the necessary weaponry to combat terrorism in the African nation.

"There are no restrictions, they do not refuse licenses, and it is at a good price. Russia is also ready to deliver weapons to us for free," Traore told Sputnik Africa.

Putin's office issued a statement following a meeting with Traore ear;ier this month during the Russia-Africa summit in St.Petersburg, "Bilateral ties between Russia and Burkina Faso have traditionally been friendly. Last year we celebrated the 55th anniversary of diplomatic relations. We know that people in Burkina Faso treat Russia with sympathy and interest."

"We are ready to work together to develop trade and economic cooperation. Our trade is not extensive yet, even in terms of Russia-Africa relations, but I believe we will discuss it today: there is room to grow," the statement added.

Traore's remarks come at a time of heightened tensions in neighbouring Niger. The situation was triggered by the overthrow of democratically elected President Mohamed Bazoum by soldiers, resulting in General Abdourahmane Tchiani assuming control of the country.


The military coup was met with widespread condemnation from several nations, including the United States and the United Nations Security Council.

Burkina Faso and Mali respond to Niger coup
The military governments of Burkina Faso and Mali also responded to the military takeover in Niger, saying, "The transitional governments of Burkina Faso and Mali express their fraternal solidarity ... to the people of Niger, who have decided with full responsibility to take their destiny in hand and assume the fullness of their sovereignty before history."


"Any military intervention against Niger would be tantamount to a declaration of war against Burkina Faso and Mali," the statement added.

In response to the military coup in Niger, the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) made a strong statement, declaring that it would take decisive action, which might involve the use of force, if President Mohamed Bazoum is not reinstated to his position.

Why do you people, like spreading false news? Are guys this daft?

And it's coming from nonentity on Twitter.

panafrican:
Bringing Bazoum back to power in Niger

Mali and Burkina Faso said they would rescind their ECOWAS membership and get involved militarily against Ecowas
if the regional body invades Niger.
Follow the news on Burkina24.com

Mali and Burkina Faso are a joke both militarily and economically.

Horus:
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

Those shitholes combine won't last a month.

Stupidity on full display.

Bacteria8:
Only God knows how many people this guy have scammed with this "American" persona

Man, you are not making sense.

Shaytun:
The propaganda machine of Wagner is working on overdrive 😂

Dude made some valid point. But he is exaggerating the whole thing.

Exnavyboy62:


Su-75...?? NIBO!!! You go explain tire, no evidence.

Meanwhile, a funny news report on my dearest country where everything is used till Thy kingdom come...

I doubt this news.

AndroidAI:


You are a clown

Look into the mirror muppet.

AndroidAI:


You ended up saying nothing. Educate me then. I am always open to learning.

Until you tell me how the dollar rate is the best way to determine an economy.

Isobug:

Go back to school if you had had any

Ok, muppet

AndroidAI:


Did you go to school at all? That's literally the only genuine yardstick to measure the economy, as it cannot be manipulated via propaganda.

Lol this is very funny to start with. Telling me to go back to school when you are the actual illiterate who knows nothing about economics.



Like this is the first time I am hearing this

We all know the story of Mujahideen.
