New Niger coup and developments in relations between Niger and France after the detention of the French ambassador, presented by this episode of Samri Channel.

Starting with French President Emmanuel Macron, who announced to reporters that the French ambassador to Niger is being held by the coup council there, and that he is being treated like a hostage and is provided with only limited amounts of food. The coup plotters in Niamey, the capital of Niger, had asked the French ambassador to Niger to leave the country, but he refused based on the order of President Macron, who considered the decisions of the coup council in Niger illegal. This was followed by huge demonstrations in Niger near the French embassy, in addition to the siege of the embassy’s surroundings by Nigerien forces. It banned the entry of food and drink into the residence of the French ambassador to Niger.

Meanwhile, the coup plotters announced that France was preparing its forces inside Nigeria, Côte d'Ivoire, and Benin in preparation for storming Niger. The coup council confirmed that it had terminated bilateral security cooperation agreements with border neighbor Benin in response to the latter allowing France to use its territory to storm Niger’s territory.

In addition, the British Financial Times newspaper said that French extremism towards the Niger coup stems from Paris’s refusal to abandon its last bases in the Sahel and Sahara region, after losing its military positions and political influence in Mali and Burkina Faso. France is trying to rally European public opinion behind its cause, claiming that Russia and its armed arm, Wagner, intend to overthrow all French and Western influence from West Africa.

Finally, the episode denies reports of the coup council in Niger banning the export of uranium ore to France, confirming the continued monopoly of French companies on exporting the precious metal uranium to Europe.

They still need France

For too many things

At least they would need to Educate their Engineers and Scientists in France and in the French Language

Niger cannot even run an Ordinary Airport or a Single Train Service without outside expertise

They have been speaking french for a Hundred years and French is the Language of Science and Technology in Niger

They cannot expect their Engineers and Doctors to start doing things in the Russian and Chinese Languages that they don't understand a single Word of

Even the Army Officer that took power was trained in France
