Hey just wanted to see if anybody had any news about Niger, it's been quiet in my circles and I hope things are going well. If anyone has any news sites they could share that touch on Niger that would be appreciated.

Edit: I accidentally typed in Nigeria instead of Niger. I changed the title and body to reflect that I'm trying to learn about the situation in Niger.

I could swear the post initially said Nigeria.

Edit: Oh i see, it was a typo and OP fixed it.

Well in that case then i don't know anything particularly interesting to report. Niger has been fairly quiet since the French started leaving. Seems the usual playbook of the imperialists (threats, bribery and blackmail) didn't work this time, the junta called their bluff. Whether things will stay quiet or start heating up again, idk, but i would say that the troublemakers are distracted right now dealing with the situation in the Middle East. There are only so many fires they can put out at once, and it's pretty evident that the empire is overstretched. An excellent opportunity for anti-imperialist forces to open up yet more fronts to stretch them even more, and to have more countries follow Niger's example and slip away from the West's grasp.
