The French government says it will firmly support efforts by the West African regional group ECOWAS to reinstate Niger’s deposed President.
West African nations gave coup leaders until Sunday, to give up power and return to civilian rule.
The region’s military chiefs have drawn up a plan for possible military intervention.
Al Jazeera’s Charles Stratford reports from the Senegalese capital, Dakar.

Africa must unite against the france colonial terror
Well, If Nigeria and their ECOWAS want freedom for Niger why are they interfering to put Niger back in the hands of a French puppet, is it so that the French can come in again and exploit Niger of its natural resources and give its half-breed puppets a cut of the profit. And why does the U.S.A have such a great concern over whether or not France has enough resources to produce energy, when 70% of the population of Niger has no electricity.
France deal with defeat and if you guys what uranium pay for it.
ECOWAS is a toothless dog.
just love documentaries on the french revolution….the king lost his head…..
The end of French rule is finally coming to an end. Africa stand up!
We , Senegalese people , we do NOT agree to the proposed military intervention in Niger. Bazoum is a french Pupet. France has been exploting Niger Uranium for decades and for free
ecowas ! a waste of an organisation. there has been coups in our sub region but kept quiet. now masters are compeling them to do what exactly? puppets !!!
I pray for unity,the cause and foundations of the coup is Italy and France Paris and,America,Napolitano,Napoli,Taranto,Torino,sardinia,Rome “::;;,(&&:&;::
Africa-Niger, aren’t you all tired of war, death, poverty, exploitation, bad leadership, corruption, and poor quality of life for your people.
The US, France, China, Russia, and other nations want you all to fight and kill each other for your resources, in this case with Niger, Uranium.
African leaders come to your senses and stop allowing other nations to exploit your continent and sell your people out.
As rich as Africa is in resources, you all can do better!
Is Chad no longer a Central African State?
Chadian President is pushed around like a barefooted school boy because he, Mahamat Deby got in power through constitutional coup d’etat led by France against the wishes of Chadians , Africans and Global supporters of DEMOCRACY.
Thus, France is too filthy to preach clean DEMOCRACY in Niger
France, go and fight in Ukraine
ECOWAS never intervened militarily when coup d’etat happened in Mali, Borkina etc. it means they supported those actions but now that a darling friend of France has been outseated they are ready to interven.😂
FRENCH. WILL MAKE ALQAIDA IN THE NIGER. BE CAREFULL. FRENCH. ARMY. NEVER ECCEPT 😅 TO STAY IN NIGER
If Africa needs to stand against ECOWAS and Nigeria we shall…am from an African continent and we are absolutely tired of being taken advantage of with imperatives and leaders who think of there own selfish interests…
Is funny how the French want to see it there way because of there interest the truth is we don’t want the French trading in Africa with our minerals we don’t want your efforts put your efforts in your country.
Defiance?!?! That’s rubbish, just onother western media propaganda, too much bla bla bla bla…Nigerian parliament has rejected those crazy ideas of western Puppet Nigerian president.
All of Africa are with Niger 🇳🇪
Except all of their neighbors 😂😂😂
win to Mali and Burkina Faso for supporting Niger!
There is NO FEAR in Niger, stop lying.
I haven’t seen fear. I see empowered people standing strong in unity against ECOWAS and the French.😂😂😂
Sick
One coup too many ? So after 400 years France doesn’t think it is enough ?
Ecowas military intervention would not bring the lasting peace,I think they have to revisit their declaration and facilitate diplomacy and negotiation to resolve the issue
Here we go again western counterattack on international news media’s to gain poplic support around the world as usual but this time is different…
France 🇫🇷 why can’t you leave why why enough is enough just go is that too much to ask???
God bless .nigeria for not been stupid .to the west..niger.. and nigeria are.brothers..
Seems super simple. We pull out any US Troops … cut off aide … and allow the African continent to worry about and handle their children playing foolishly childish games.
If Nigeria attack Niger ,stoned Nigerian outside the country ,double standard western hv no moral to blame Russia on Ukraine war
It’s difficult to talk seriously with someone that is in power due to a tantrum and dresses in Decoflage and wears those sunglasses.
french are la vache qui pleure
Africa is finally awake and acknowledged that France is not welcomed in Africa anymore.
I am with the Nigerian people
More pro-NATO propagandas, Nigeriens re celebrating, they re not scared, liars
I remember how Aljazeera was making pro-western propagandas against Qaddaffi and degrading his image in 2012 before his assassination
Thank God Putin told US before now
JUST WAIT… WE AFRICANS ARE COMING FOR WE MONEY… ✊🏿❤
The French and others have not mentioned anything about the threat to democracy in Israel. Anyone who believes that these crooks actually care about the African people must be in need of a change in medication.
When they say the “international community”, what they really mean are the anglosphere nations headed by the United States.
Stay awa our African. We don’t need the European
No African blood has been shed yet in the military takeover. Ecowas will be responsible for every life lost if they attempt a military invasion to reinstate the puppet president, who was not even serving Niger interests.
Niger deserves freedom from dictator colonizer france, what did france doing there is to steal and control natural resources in niger.
Nigeria won’t invade Niger
Let the world attack now………
Ecowas will simply be crazy to intervene militarily in Niger. Its like killing your blood brother for a slave master…
All foreign bases in Africa must be removed!!!!
They should go and meet the wagner group
Unless all the African States united as one to fight against their colonial masters, they will continue to be colonised and short changed. If they dont join Burkiso and Mali to fight the west they will continue to remaind as poor as church mines
ECOWAS is the slave of the US
It’s amazing the world takes African leaders seriously.
He elected to serve France not his people shut up France
Why don’t you take action against Israel and India who have created open prison for the oppressed people
Why these Europeans who doesn’t like Africans but want to interfear in Africa’s internal affairs.
Apply diploma dissolution
France has no right to dictate terms to Niger. If France instigates the war, African nations should come together and impose sanctions on the EU and France. Lets see how they do without the raw materials from Africa.
Go Ecowas Take down all Russian ally ang all Communist party
I guess war is coming to Africa after Sudan 🇸🇩
I don’t remember the French having this reaction to the 2014 coup of a Ukrainian legitimate government… the only difference is that now in Niger the change is against French interests.
Foreigners interfering with an internal issue … When civilians are not being killed or terrorised.
this is why they will never be a united states of africa….a visitor cannot dictate how the home owner should live
Our Nigerian President mentally ill , by giving them an ultimatum, when you can’t provide your own people with the dividend of democracy you wanna export democracy to another country. Rubbish….
Africans do not want a war. France has done enough damage to our continent.
Is there something called ecowas?
How is this the business of France, is it because their exploitation of Africa is coming to an end?
Ecowas is jus a tick leaching of Africa
Ibrahim Traore stand strong, live long, fight for Africa.
French should leaves Africa Countries alone.
If it were before Russian military operation NATO would have intervened 😂😂
we know France will not shy away from funding the war to return their influence in Niger. The poor masses of Niger are in support of the military. They are tired of puppet governments serving their masters.
Leave them to it
Leave military intervations to NATO. Africa is pro negotiations
FREEDOM AND POWER TO ALL AFRICANS!!The world is watching you Ecowas and France! You cannot bully people forever tread lightly or you will face massive backlash from around the world!
We no longer want France in Africa to be sincere
🇳🇦plz stop war talk
We say no to Western influence
What is France business
Long live niger general as Africans we are tiered of being colonized day to day.see how that woman is decieving the world sijjui french prime minister.she needs to style up we are tied of guys.all people of Uganda are supporting the junta leadership in niger
The bots are working overtime to try and destabilize the region
What surprises me is the people they are fighting for want the military and are willing to follow it.
Part 1. So if the elites of Ecowas ( Wait quick thought why are they calling themselves elites? Their real role and titles that we deem them worthy of is Leader or some other words they create and use to be disingenuous, trick the people who trusted them hmmm… 🤔😐 ) Is For Ecowas and others calling Niger actions a coup I ask how so? Because the citizens deem the government worthy or not… It is not supposed to be the other way around or should I just say it should be reversed. The truth is an has always been the people pick. By the laws of math. Also on a moral scale for the most part.
How is it a war coup if the Citizens of Niger is kicking out the Niger president for not upholding his end of the agreement as they say. Also he didn’t just agree he vowed. It’s a difference. Hence why men and women vow in front of their loved ones. Also why armies vow to protect their country. Also it’s interesting how the government gets the soldiers to vow to the country and not the citizens. If you say well duh they have to protect the country okay 👏🏿 but its many layers of problems/loop holes with that type of mind set in a world with very deviant and wickedly cunning minds. For instance lets try to think multidimensional. The word government was once a idea and than it became a thing that can have massive physical effects on humans. Do to it steming from humans as a idea it’s very easy to reshape said thing do to the foundations we and/or our ancestors built. I mean look at how some countries just write insane laws and then they go on to get passed 🤔
France 🇫🇷 needs to mind their business
I am really disappointed with ECOWAS
I’m glad they have now been exposed as traitors, puppets, and hypocrites. The young people will now categorically reject this traitorous organization.
We want to hear from citizens
Wow, France looking pretty diabolical here. I’m afraid the EU has a France problem. They haven’t changed since the 20th Century. Or maybe Germany is using France as its blunt sword of neo colonialism.
Niger was just being used by the French as a colony and the US has sent Nuland to threaten them.
Yes. Nuland thinks that showing up to threaten Niger to put her puppet back in the chair, she will make them bend the knee. She is sorely mistaken. It now shows that the deposed president was just a puppet. The coup is justified.
France still living in the colonial era.
Africa, India and South America needs to cut down the chains that keeps them submissive and abused by the western empire.
Unlike the British Empire decolonized by progressive Atlee govt, Francophone West Africa never really got Decolonized.. never got full independence. This is a blot on Africa.
First Job is to eject the French & give full control of Africa to Africans.
First resolve this long standing historical shortcoming and defect.
*So, the Real Burning & Preeminent Issue in French West Africa is to Get Rid of Colonialism.*
Everything else is secondary. Everything else can be resolved later.
The US should not take sides in this War of Independence taking place in Niger. Especially why should they get involved in this fight on the side of a Colonial France & their ECOWAS & Bazoum puppets on one side and the people of Francophone Africa on the other side?
Point of correction, the people of Niger are not afraid. They are prepared for their freedom
By the way, the people of Niger are with the military (that is democracy)
If the government puts foreign interests ahead of their own then the people have every right to dispose that government. ECOWAS is wading into dangerous ground by holding up Frances’s interests. Look at the people reactions on the street. It’s Niger’s internal issue to resolve.
Exactly 💯 in addition, it’s the people who give the ruling party its power. They have demonstrated clearly that they want the military to take over.
Banakyemalila banalyawa
Abalala bayigilekwoyo
Anyone helping france are not africans allies.
so france is the boss of ecowas huh
Yup.did you see Macron holding hand with Tinubi and hugging.
The French have no position in ECOWAS and ECOWAS is not political where the coup is political and a coup cannot be undone, the undoing would be the new coup, what would be the point.
Another haitian revolution on the horizon?
Al quieda and ISIS?!?!?! Here we go again
This is enough. Is she addressing the French population ? The West will be be choke with two more this week. Is not coup d’État. Is a revolution for Master Morality.
So these countries from ECOWAS will attack their brother’s country in favor of France who is still exploiting their natural resources? No wonder why so many African nations are still poor even you’re rich in natural resources.
