There is no evidence of Wagner Group mercenaries being deployed in Niger. Despite this, several media outlets and social media users falsely claimed that Wagner forces were supposedly deployed to Niamey, through a misidentified video of a Russian Air Force Ilyushin Il-76 landing in what they claimed to be in Niamey International Airport. However, fact-checkers from the BBC later identified this video as footage from 2006 recorded in Khartoum, Sudan. Other videos posted on social media wrongly presented old footages of Wagner fighters in Africa as the first visual confirmation of their presence in Niger. An old photograph of Wagner fighters in Ukraine was also shared alongside claims that the group was planning to send its fighters to Niger. |

GodHatesBigots:Probably because of the fact it could lead to an African world war Because Algeria and Libya has warned ECOWAS not to invade and if they do they might intervene Mali and Burkina Faso will declare war on ECOWAS if they invade Niger Nigeria may be fighting another civil war Most of the ECOWAS fighters except from Senegal and Nigeria are pretty much weak 1 Like |
