PRESIDENT TINUBU, NIGERIA AND NIGER REPUBLIC It is no longer news that Niger republic has witnessed a successful coup d'etat because any coup that is over 24 hours is a successful coup. It is also worthy of note that the era of coup is back in the Sahel and Africa as a whole. For good students of geopolitics, this scenario should not be surprising to us because many of us knew that Africa will be one of the theatres of brutal war going on in the world between the West and the Russia-China alliance. Niger republic is one of the most poorest countries on earth most richly endowed with Uranium, crude oil and other mineral resources. France has been getting cheap Uranium from Niger for over 40 years to power its nuclear stations for cheap electricity for the French people while the majority of the people of Niger have no access to stable electricity. We currently live in a multipolar world and it is unfortunate that many Africans and political pundits do not understand the meaning of multipolarity. We are gradually moving back into the 1950's and 1960's cold war era where coups, civil war and political assassination became a norm across Africa. Also, Niger republic is host to the following western military bases namely USA, France and Belgium, so what is the role of these military bases in Niger republic and their level of involvement in regime change in Niger republic? This question is a million dollar question ⁉️ France recently invested billions of dollars in the opening of one the biggest uranium mines in the world in Niger republic which was meant to supply Europe with cheap Uranium because cheap gas from Russia is no longer available for their electricity generation and other industrial uses. Let's even talk about the Sahel as it is currently. Sudan, Chad, Mali, Burkina Faso, Guinea and Mauritania are all under one form of dictatorship or the other. Many Francophone countries like Togo,Cameroon, Gabon , Congo etc are all under one form of democratic dictatorship to the other. I will be happy if anybody can prove to me that Paul Biya of Cameroon& Eyadema of Togo are not running a despotic regime in their countries under the sham banner of democracy. The Sahel is unstable&more non state actors are becoming regional warlords across ungovernable spaces with little or no government presence yet we think it's all about democracy. In Mali, Burkina Faso,Niger, Nigeria, Chad, Cameroon and Sudan full scale or low scale war is taking place within the borders of those countries which have taken ethnic, religious and tribal dimensions. At the root cause of these violence is the challenge on the colonial borders of 1884 and the narcissistic and despotic behaviours of African politicians/rulers who are looking for stability and peace when they have successfully impoverished their subjects for decades. Internal factors that make coups successful are always ethnic strives, poverty, youth restlessness and political instability. Instead of African political leaders to ensure that this internal issues are solved, we are boasting about going to war for the sake of democracy as if democracy is the reason why we don't have good roads, jobs, justice, rule of law and good standard of living.The emergence of China as an economic world power without democracy has made a lot of people in the African continent to give up on western democracy because it means western imperialism to them. My explanation thus far, is to lay the groundwork for the ideological reasons why the "Khaki boys" are back in the business of coups across Africa most especially West Africa. Why did the coup plotters wait for President Buhari to hand over power to Tinubu before orchestrating a coup in Niger republic?The west supported the overthrow of a democratically elected government in Ukraine in the name of revolution but the same west is condemning coups in West Africa because of their interests? Verdict:No Nigerian soldier must be sent to die for democracy in Niger!
