Any long-term solution to Niger's issues has to come from within the people of Niger, of course.
I expect that a status quo change is likely only on a geopolitical scale and that once the excitement of a change in government dies down the military will run into and perpetuate much the same issues.
I only really trust China to be able to invest and trade with the Global South without being exploitative (even if they aren't doing so out of altruism).
