The military junta has ruled the West African nation since seizing power in a 2023 coup, promising to crack down on Niger’s myriad security issues.
Juntas in Niger, neighbouring Burkina Faso and Mali have ramped up pressure on foreign mining companies in recent years, with Niger nationalising the local branch of French uranium giant Orano in June.
Full of hope and life and no civil liberty.
Mali’s dictatorship will straight up murder you if say something they don’t like.

I’m 100% on board with the popular anti-imperialist national liberation movement going on in the Sahel States. You’re functionally no-different from the liberal-Zionists that whine about Hamas and use that as justification for Israel’s genocide of Palestine. I disagree with they way you paint the Sahel States, and if you actually listened to the people living there you’d realize you’re parroting far-right imperialist propaganda uncritically.
