    Niger is ditching ECOWAS for the security from other states that recently underwent coups. It’s hard to see how this is in the interest of the common person.

    Just because France is against the coup doesn’t mean it’s good for Nigeriens.

      It’s called a purge. They’ve tried working within the Western rules based order for decades. It’s not working to get the West out. So the coup is the next attempt at pushing out the West and the compradors in order to create the operating conditions for self-governance by the people for the people instead of these fake democracies that only exist to legitimize neocolonial dominance in a way that white people can’t feel guilty about.
