Macron: France ready to support ECOWAS military operation in Niger

Commentary by Russian military blogger Andrey Chervonets


Will there be sanctions on France? Freeze assets there? Collective responsibility?

It is necessary to impose sanctions on France, disconnect it from Swift and help Niger with weapons.

I can’t remember, but in Ukraine in the 14th, after an anti-constitutional coup and an armed rebellion, at what moment did the French rush to restore justice? In Niger, of course, there is also a coup, only in contrast to the history of almost a decade ago in Ukraine - without foreign interference.

Another irrefutable proof that "real democracy" can be considered only that which is worn by the boots of NATO soldiers and corresponds to the interests of the West. In Syria and Libya, Western hypocrites supported this, in Ukraine. And then suddenly they drowned for the legally elected president, already drooling splashes. Well, then we must admit, they say, yes, they were wrong, and drown for legitimate power in these countries as well.

Of course, the paddling pool will try to the last to return its colonies, which even in modern history gave France all their resources for a penny. But the colonies don't want that now. And the French will have to accept. And then repent and pay.

Algeria proposes a way to resolve the crisis in Niger

Algiers , August 29, 2023, 17:58 - IA Regnum. The Algerian authorities have put forward an initiative to establish a transitional period in Niger for a period of six months under the control of civilian power, Algerian Foreign Minister Ahmed Attaf said on August 29 .

“We have presented an initiative for a political settlement in Niger with a six-month transitional period,” Al Mayadeen quoted him as saying .

He added that the transitional period should be carried out under the control of a civil authority directed by an agreed figure.

Military intervention in Niger would have dire consequences both for the country itself and for the whole of Africa, he concluded.

As reported by IA Regnum , ECOWAS Commissioner for Politics, Peace and Security Abdel Fatau Musah said on Al Jazeera TV channel that the countries that are members of the Economic Community of West Africa proposed that the National Council for the Salvation of the Motherland, headed by Niger Guards Commander Abdurahman Tchiani, meet in neutral place.

Earlier, the Niger Armed Forces switched to maximum readiness mode. Such an order was given to the country's army by the head of the defense headquarters Moussa Salau Barmu . He explained that the decision was made to adequately respond to possible aggression against Niger.

#4  The French are very clever
They need to resolve the immigration problem and resize the population…
It can work two ways.
If Africa doesn't want the French, then France can say we don't want Africans.
So will send them back.
