France is losing its hold on Africa. More imperial competition for Africa's strategic goodies is likely.

Reinforce the European border in the Mediterranean and say bye.

No more warmongering. No more humanitarian aid. Border shut.

Niger, Burkina Faso and Mali make a confederation and give ECOWAS the finger.

US is "in the process of leaving" a drone base in Niger.


The Niamey summit also came a day before the United States is set to complete its withdrawal (https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/4/20/us-agrees-to-withdraw-troops-from-niger-amid-sahel-regions-pivot-to-russia) from a key base in Niger, underscoring how the new military leaders have redrawn security relations that had defined the region in recent years.

Armed groups linked to al-Qaeda and ISIL (ISIS) have jockeyed for control of territory in all three countries, unleashing waves of violence and spurring concern in Western capitals.


But following the recent coups, the countries’ ties to Western governments have frayed.








French troops completed their withdrawal from Mali in 2022, and they left Niger (https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/12/22/last-set-of-french-troops-exit-niger-as-sahel-sheds-parisian-influence) and Burkina Faso last year.


Meanwhile, US Air Force Major General Kenneth Ekman said earlier this week that about 1,000 military personnel would complete their withdrawal from Niger’s Air Base 101 by Sunday.


The US is also in the process of leaving a separate, $100m drone base near Agadez in central Niger, which officials have described as essential to gathering intelligence about armed groups in the region.

Niger to nationalize French uranium plant



Niger’s military government has announced plans to nationalize Somair uranium, a local venture operated by French state-owned nuclear fuels company Orano, amid an escalating dispute between the miner and the West African nation.


The authorities cited alleged illegal actions by Orano as justification for their decision, adding that the most recent mining agreement between Niger and the French mining giant expired in December 2023. The Somair uranium mine in the northern Arlit region has been in operation since 1971.
