Burkina Faso and Mali have warned that any intervention in neighbouring Niger would be considered a “declaration of war” against their two countries, a signal of support for leaders of the recent coup there.
In a statement released on Monday, the governments of Mali and Burkina Faso also refused to implement what they called “illegal, illegitimate and inhumane sanctions” against the Nigerien people and authorities.
The message comes less than a week after soldiers guarding Nigerien President Mohamed Bazoum took the leader into custody on July 26, declaring they had “put an end” to his administration.

#Niger #NigerCoup #ECOWAS #AbdourahmaneTchiani #Tchiani #MohamedBazoum #BurkinaFaso #Mali
Support from Ethiopia 🇪🇹 victory for Niger 🇳🇪 and its people 💚💛❤️ africa needs wake up and fight neocolonialist’s .
Honestly uranium rich the country itself is poor in this 21century, brothers get united and fight for what is yours
Total decolinization in progress.
May God keep strengthen the coup leader
BRICS are with you! We will not allow Feance and the West to take away your freedom and soveirgnty! We will stop all foreign interference
Western version of living the so called democracy does not work everywhere. What African countries need is good dictators who love their people/county and use a large portion of their resources for development and steal only a small amount for themselves.
It is funny that America recognized the coup in Ukraine because it served american interest, but when it happens in Niger, America is not so fast to do the same.
I mean the ukranian president was democratically elected too, it was not a problem then but it is a problem now?
How interesting.
Or what
Stand up Africa ✊💪
Nigeria is next
The military leadears are democratically settled ❤❤❤
It’s good to see African leaders taking a stance against the imperialist/exploitive West however it will come at a steep price. One can only look at the suffering of Haiti and Cuba as examples of western (France and USA) revenge against those who rise up against their masters.
“Bright democratic examples” translates to corrupt and lets western interest guide their policy.
Stand with Mali, Niger & Burkina Faso
I do not support coups, usually, but in this context, getting rid of the cancer that is France’s grip on its former colonies through the france-Afrique scheme which was designed to continue the indirect exploitation of these countries while their people live in extreme poverty. Then I say God bless!
Using evil to get rid of a larger one must be good!
I hope other countries will follow.
Allah blees my brother in niger death to western
Why do they consider whether it is democratic or not the US
is ruled by the non democratic
Democrats.
Kick all western scum out of Africa!
France is after Uranium not democracy!!! Bazoum was serving their purpose and now that he is gone they are looking for an alternative but it is in vain niger people have already shown their side! supporting the junta!!
Leave us alone! How many leaders that you killed to serve your own benefits.
These Forces are not Juntas, they are Pan African Warriors who are ridding Africa of witches/wizards and Looters.
The plan of the islamist is to conqier West Africa.
Democracy with poverty while being mineral rich is WORTHLESS.
For the west to freeze their national assets after the coup shows that they were never free
I only pity the remaining puppets in so called ecowas
I believe that they still can earn 100x of what they lost
The American news muddies this issue. The Africans in the comment section make the truth clear. ✊🏿
Western media doesn’t give the people of Niger a voice. Biased reporting.
Chad has a military government
Yah
bazoum is a france puppet
Macky sall and alassane ouatara are france puppets and the Togolese president
The ECOWAS is a france puppet
France should attack Russia , rather we poor Africans ,and prove their powers
Next stop Nigeria, these puppet so called African ruling class is robbing the continent blind
Keep the “resources” AND the migrants, Africa….. Everybody wins.
Is this the uk london
i really hope that all over Africa countries to go along with independence from foreign chump change aid for our resources
Yeah, as if Globalist Oligarchs heed warnings.
Jamaica it is time freedum too rass zzzzzzzz
Afri it time time❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤time is knows
Let Africa have one country .no borders .
Longlive Africans
Freaking stupid idiots. Russian puppets, how Come Ask your self How after years they are Now Best friends, west thow these foolish people out.
Interesting. I wonder about the next move.
USA ain’t interested in a war ! Trust & believe! We’re pulling out to focus on USA issues like housing etc
So Niger is poor while they have so much natural resources. There is a lack of electricity, while France took the uranium to power their nuclear power plants. But, they can’t built a power plant in Niger to help the people. You can’t make this up.
Why should France build a power plant for any other country? How about Niger grow up and build their own?
South up
Democracy is the code word for stealing resources. The current president was placed in power but continues to steal from its people. I support this coup. All white people need to leave Africa
Wonderful people of Niger,they surely need total freedom
NATO out of africa
There is enough poverty in the USA,let them solve those problems first
Why is the country poor?…for how long should they live through Aid…?…they must emancipate themselves from slavery once and for all….
Constitutional elected leaders should rule in a constitutional manner or risk ouster. The sovereignty of the country should be respected by outside forces. If the people support the coup, other countries should too.
Shameless black colored peoples…
Eu cn show the power but africa deserve they natural ground france has suck black peoples blood its time return them black with interest
✊🏾
May Africans be freed from Western control and resource grabbing🙏
France is now passing clouds they have move away .as soon as possible black people has 8inchs long history 😊😂😂they will remind france soon
I stand with my west African brothers.
I cant wait until the revolution hits the US.
America and France has no moral compass to invade any country in the world because they are terror to their own people.. America who says they are practicing true democracy right is jailing or about jailing their own political opponents they should leave Africa alone. Nigeria doesn’t have the moral abrogation to invade another country because the man parading himself as the president is illegitimate because he rigged himself to power
Just like gaddafi the west strikes again and wants to maintain their colonial grips
I hope Cameroonian military can follow the same and remove the France puppet who has been in power propagating Western agendas
The lions of Africa its time to stand up
Africa is for africans!!
i’m from Chile and i support the fight of Burkina Faso, Niger and Mali against the neo colonialism, in latin America we have a very similar history
Toooooooz .
But when is the African Continent is going to stop being the world laughing stack? Everyone gets rich in Africa except the Africans
Puppet organization dis stupid organization must shut down deir failure to African
I feel that this situation in Niger poses a great opportunity for the Nigerian government. If I was Tinubu, with the assistance of the Britain and the French, we could conquer Niger. Tinubu should undertake this within the framework of safeguarding Nigeria’s social welfare, and if Burkina Faso and Mali decide to intervene, Nigeria will conquer them too. In the end, Ecowas will become a reality, meaning the whole of the West will be one county called Ecowas. After which, at this point, we wait for another uprising and then conquer the whole of Africa. Remember bring about money and invention of new technology.
Why would USA and France care about “democracy” in a place that isnt on their iwn continent??? Oh, we know why…
I have read that the Niger Junta has requested the presence of Wagner Group. Is this true?
Wakanda forever!
Englishman here. Good luck guys 🙏
get france out if africa
Wagner supports isis affiliates, putin is a liar, the poor and uneducated will be blinded by propaganda
EU stop giving money . Let Russia help Niger.
what a shame, they are stealing billion of dollar every year without paying almost nothing. yet they claim “democracy”. Be honest, saying “We the rich nation, we are here to steal the wealth”.
“Glory to our people, Dignity to our people, Victory to our people, Homeland or death.”- Africas youngest leader.
We are all with our people from Africa. Rise and take back what is ritefuly yours so someday your children will live in peace and prospirty and freedom. Africa take back what is yours. From your brother from Somalia, glory to africa and freedom to our people. Freedom from oppressors external or within.
the franchise has made Niger poor and enough is enough
You only talk about the millions the west give but you don’t talk about the Billions they take from us here.
Wtf are they gona do??? Iol….throw spears at america??
Africa, must rid itself of all Non-African sponsored organization. France is a terrorists nation. The UN is NATO sponsored terrorists organization. Lesotho. 🇷🇺🇷🇺🌹🇱🇸🇱🇸
The truth is, France and America are not representing themselves well in Africa. No one will be surprise to see another coup tomorrow.
Juntas must be punished
This guy is a clown. France and US can’t accept this coup for AFRICA’s sake? Please. They can’t allow themselves to lose control of Africa, France especially will be plunged into poverty.
Leave them alone
Against foreign intervention.but you want wagner russia interven your land.wake up😂😂😂
I can see Russia flag in the crowd…wow there is really a reward for courage
INDIA SHOULD SHOW ITS SUPPORT TO AFRICA . LOVE FROM INDIA AND CONGRATULATIONS FOR FREEDOM✌️
If Russian supports Africa in this, then American and Europe will be doomed and chased away for sure since Russian already demilitarised Europe and America in ukraine war so I advise Africa to get support from Russia at all cost .this will help.even russia to complete its war in ukraine since all nations has one enemy that is America and raging war with America in ukraine and Africa is divide and conquer ..if God is real he will be with russia and Africa for sure 🙏
¡VIVA AFRICA! EUROPE has to pay karma. The softer and amicably the better. For the sake of the world family.
Уједините се и протерајте колонијалисте, Французе, Енглезе, Португалије, Белгије.. Слобода Африци и свим њеним народима!!! Подршка из Србије!!!
ECOWAS and AU are anti-African unity. They are nothing but a bunch of lapdogs. Well done to Mali and Burkina Faso.
Having resided in this country for two years, there are plenty of valuable resources such as uranium, oil, and gold. However, it is disheartening to observe that despite its wealth, many people still endure a lack of access to basic necessities like adequate jobs and sufficient food, leading to a challenging and difficult life for them
Ongoing fluid situation …
These idiots countries seems to believe they can beat the west.hahaha
Just drop a nuke, take their access to internet away 😂😂😂
France must go out of Africa. Sooner or later we Africans do what we want on our African soil without their intervention. We need real partners not looters in form of humanitarian aids and democracy. We are the ones helping them, because without us their economy will definitely collapse.And I really know as generations change , the changes will definitely be achieved. I will not despair.
”A winner is a dreamer who never gives up” Nelson Mandela
No one saying it so let me say it . Niger plus those other two combined military is less then 100k troops . So militarily they stand no chance and should not try to negotiate as if france or the US couldn’t level their military in a day .
Am so happy this will make Biafra to come. Nigerian has no army or they have are terrorist, i was once in Nigerian 47 battalion army, i know what is talking about. Mali and Burkina faso has been working on this for long time now, they are going to kill all Nigerian zoo army in Niger. After this war Africans will be free. My joy is that RUSSIAN is with them. When are will going to stop savin our slave masters.
Foreign intervention is not happening. Other African countries, Nigers African neighbours! around Niger are joining together and intervening with this hostile army takeover, not outside forces.
