That's how I see it. At risk of regretting my words (the new gov could be terrible and could e.g. be backed by or fall prey to another imperialist power), at least the future (for) now holds the possiblity of a fair election. That's not remote possibility while the French have their bloody fingers in the country.

Still likely have a long way to go for peace and prosperity. The French (and yanks) won't just roll over. Hopefully the day is not too far away when Nigerien workers can enjoy their national wealth and support other independent movements. Looking forward to seeing Niger become a socialist nuclear-solar power house (I'm assuming it's quite sunny in that part of the world), working with the Chinese to connect West Africa with HSR.
