Maybe France should just pull out of Niger? Ever thought about that?
The West aren’t pulling out of the Sahel until the mineral wealth has been extracted.
If you can read French, this article gives a great counterpoint on the situation https://contre-attaque.net/2023/09/15/niger-un-diplomate-francais-otage-de-macron/ Macron might very well be up to escalating the situation to the point he can engage Niger militarily.
With what military lol
Hasn’t the African Union already decided to not intervene in Niger?
France won’t cause an international incident… right?
