French journalist Matteo Maillard says invasion of Niger on the table as "the survival of African Union and ECOWAS is on the line".

Both US and France are now really worried about"Democracy" and rule of law in an African country.

The fact that #Niger provides almost half the nuclear material for #france's nuclear plants has nothing to do wi their reaction.

They are just like in #Ukraine want to make sure peace, democracy, rule of law and national integrity of the country is respected and the flow of cheap supply to west is just an insignificant part in the reaction of these 2 freedom loving nations.

Vasily Filippov, an employee of the Institute for African Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, said it seems possible to view the Niger coup as a gift to Russian leader Vladimir Putin.

“The French are now paralyzed, they have a catastrophic economic situation. Imagine what a catastrophe will happen if we squeeze all 40% of the uranium they receive from Niger from the French,” Filippov said.
