French and US troops were in Niger for more than 12 years promoting their own agenda. They never shared their military capacities with the locals. What is the difference now?
They "fighting"(creating) terrorists for more than 10 years in the Sahel and can't see the end.😎 ~Americans, true policeman of the world, always there to help the weaker instead of use him.😎
The Roman imperial system was all about maintaining business as usual: conquering new territories to tax and exploit economically, imprisoning slaves to maintain productive activities in Roman cities and rural estates, keeping soldiers active and plundering resources to pay for military campaigns and pay for public construction in Rome and conquered territories, preserve existing trade routes and create new trade routes. The American imperial system is a little different. It is all about keeping the dollar as the world's main currency to gain economic and political advantages from it. In addition to militarizing its currency, the USA insists on maintaining and expanding military bases around the world and mainly to surround Russia and China. No country spends so much money on the military, but the efficiency of American weapons and troops will be completely null in the event of a nuclear war. The problem is that the US needs to keep its military industries running, so Americans manufacture wars to be able to sell weapons. No one can stand the arrogance and violence of the American imperial power system anymore, not even Americans can stand living under a dictatorship of the military industrial complex disguised as democracy. A peaceful Roman empire was not possible. When it renounced military aggression or became unable to sustain it, Rome declined until it disappeared. The USA is dying precisely because it is no longer capable of living in peace and leaving other people in peace.
On point analysis. That said currently there is also a Russian Empire a Chinese Empire a Saudi Empire. Each does the Empire thing a bit differently. Can African countries navigate all these and still be independent? Be happy about booting the USA. The issue comes what "Empire" does Africa do business with next and will the same results happen?
agreed and well said.. bro.... america will fall as well... it doesnt last long... rome, russia were once great even france... they all fell, so america wont last.. that new world order mindset will shift from there.. they are so dictative and manipulative.
We are living in exciting times for change. The entire global system is changing. African nations are seeing how the west is exploiting its natural resources and the African people are seeing their value and are not scared of change. Guess there’s a panicking in the west as the BRICS nations are starting to take centre stage.
America force Niger republic to pay it security protection but America claims to be giving Niger republic aid, either way America not needed in Africa.
We also have the right to choose our enemies.. It makes no sense that we should want to be included or work with colonial organizations (imf/worldbank, eu, nato, etc.). They were all created before independence. Only crazy man think they are not still tools of colonization
I agree the Americans have no reason to be in Africa whatsoever, nor does the Russians Indians, French, definitely not the Chinese!! The Russians are in Niger, and other Sub-Saharan Africa countries, raping, children, and women… while the weak African leaders, look the other way for a few rubles. pathetic people letting others take advantage of you!’
They are not learning from their mistakes. You can’t impose your rules if you want to learn. The problem now is if the 2500 soldiers leave , which country will take them. In my opinion, no military base should exist abroad.
YES! and yet she's still my sista---but, what she hasn't understood yet, is that African geography is already known to the satellite topographic owning maps nations of USA, Russia, China and the west in general. The Sahel is mineral rich as heck, and it intersects the Rift and Nile Valleys precisely at the lower Nile origins of the Nubian and Egyptian civilizations .....
So wait, your bring in Russia how is that out with colonialism. You just trade one colonial master for another. You want out that means all western countries.
"Human rights, human rights human rights!" She is seeking Western funding for her organization. We know the trick! The Europeans who invaded Africa were terrorists also. "Europe is the most violent continent," [Nicolas Sarkozy, former French president]
Madam are you telling the whole that we can not take care of our own problems?. Please let them stay in their own country to take care of gun violence drug addict.. The western world is responsible for all lost of innocent lives.
She is a PUPPET of the West. I don't think any grown-up African "journalist" can be so IGNORANT of what is truly going on in this World. She is getting paid. That's one of the biggest problems we have in Africa...TRAITORS!!!
Nigeria is the main hub for insecurity in West Africa. What is this woman talking about? it's been 11 years since the US and France have been in the Sahel with the best equipment in the world and the security situation has not improved. Give the people a chance to fight their fight on their own terms. Let's not also forget that this part of Africa did not have a problem with terrorists until NATO decided to arm and create these terror groups. All the groups she mentioned came into existence under the watch of the Western countries and ECOWAS. Where did they dig this type of a woman from?? How do you side with France which has exploited these countries openly for over sixty years? She's an embarrassment to the entire African continent.
@arr8577YES! and yet she's still my sista---but, what she hasn't understood yet, is that African geography is already known to the satellite topographic owning maps nations of USA, Russia, China and the west in general.

All of them are talking like they are colonized. They probably have Western currency. They're talking about aid! How can you steal the resources and then try to publicly say you are giving aid? I break into your house and take everything and then I leave you some sneakers and I want you to thank me?!
Agree 100%! The west was in the Sahel for decades and didnt stop the jihadists, they didnt even stem them; these countries have taken their security into their own habds for less than 4 years and she wants to claim them failing! She is delusional.
The Yankees and EU allies have been able to oversee their "terrorism" in Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, Libya ... But did not succeed in eradicating Boko haram in Nigeria ... They don't want to fight terrorism, they feed it so it justifies their troops takeover the whole Guinea gulf. That has been the plan since Khadafi's death (and even before).
@@Desert-wolf.28 think!! This is common knowledge. The US create terrorists and instability to justify their presence in a region. They then exploit the people in the region by extracting/stealing their resources. It doesn’t take a brain to figure out that the US does this- An easy one for you is Iraq 2001 - “weapons of mass destruction”, the US made this up and stole Iraqi oil, and… kept its industrial military complex in business.
The US government prolongs conflicts so that weapon manufacturers can keep making their blood money. This is one of the key reasons why nothing ever seems to get solved
@@pradeep128 That’s because, the weak, American military dumbed down their militaries, to make sure they rely on them in the future. All of those countries are still occupied by the weak American military, and can’t fight a war without them.
A weak panel with slave mentality...I have faith in Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso. They need time to form themselves properly. The Americans and French has been there for years with little result combating the terrorist, which in fact they actually want the terrorist the strive, but they will fail and our African brothers will win or die trying. We need to do this without the USA, France etc.

Look at the Uncle Sam asking other countries to help Africa why don’t give us the technology and weapons for us to defend our own countries you guys are on the payroll for sure you don’t represent us black people what a disgrace
@@finetouch81So Israel....it costs American taxpayers 267mil a day to pay for their military. They often have to work multiple jobs to survive yet are one paycheck from homelessness. Israeli citizens get most vital services for free
U talking nonsense which countries you know in Africa that was colonized by Russia Russia is in Africa to get access to our mineral and how many African are willing to go in Russia to looks for better living
Africa was born to be slave why should you depends only on Russia for security guarantee the West and USA are in this battle for their own security reasons for the future and Russia is very far away from Africa they are in for minerals
This guy is funny, so to him the Americans and Europeans are not interested in their mineral resources? He thinks they love to sacrifice their soldiers for the love of Africans? Really!!!! What a load of BS.
He is a fool...Niger has the fastest growing economy in the world. France was buying their uranium for peanuts...than God their dummy president in Niger is gone
@@lookforward2lifeno you're right. Most americans can't tell you where half the bases are because there are so many you will run out of fingers to count on
Sadly 99 pct of Americans are completely unaware and to be blunt don't care one way or the other. There is a massive disconnect between the populace and the leadership.
Not everyone is gonna be in the same side. If you believe the west have no supporters in Africa you’re naive. Not everyone wants communism taking over.
@bennygarcia7786YES! and yet she's still my sista---but, what she hasn't understood yet, is that African geography is already known to the satellite topographic owning maps nations of USA, Russia, China and the west in general.

@@joeb134 Theres only 1 group of slavers that roam the earth for the last 3 centuries and thankfully this group is being kicked out from many parts of the world as we speak. You re not happy are you? 🤣🤣
@joeb134 which one?Russia has more resources than all of africa and are better at extraction and self export russia just like markets and controlling supply with other supplirs like in opec+
The US will try to harm Niger. The French army left some weaponry behind them for the terrorists and for their mercenaries in Niger. The German ambassador was prevented from leaving Niger since she had connection with the French army who left the weapons behind. One thing is sure,Russian military will be invited to provide security.. Ever since Niger booted France they are now able to control their Uranium and gold and are set to have double digit growth in 2024
The US would not fully recognize the coup leaders. It’s geopolitics. In addition no resource business so no big loss per se for Niger. Except for droning militants.
All these commentators not understanding what’s going and they lack the dynamics of the situation. The Americans and French have been there for a longtime without any success. Unlike Ukraine the didn’t these countries army to fight for themselves but the USA and France are only interested in establishing bases in those countries instead of engaging and eliminating these Jihadists. These countries military leaders reviewed continuous presence of West as part of neocolonial agendas. They realized that coming together as a single unit they can defeat these enemies. The problem is that these military leaders resent the behavior and attitudes of the West. They have also concluded that the West is exploiting them and the West is partly responsible for non development and supportive of their corrupt leaders. There’s no problem here they want to control their own destiny
I cannot express enough my congratulations to my homeland. The states that have terrorized my people will terrorize them no more. Not there. It's a start.
Good, one less the country to babysit. At least a thank you for build up your country so much that you feel you can stand on your own lol Well good luck. Just remember why you left your country in the first place. I'm pretty it was all flowers and sunshine every day. Hopeful your country will enjoy communism and fighting Russia's and China's battles for them.
No America recognizes diplomacy and democracy! Not rogue military! America was the only country that was bringing stabilization to the Seoul! Don't you understand that?
This time it will not be easy. The corrupt politicians are gone and the country of Niger Mali and Burkina are planning on having their own currency and joining the BRICS block. The US and the West like to be subtle , they either bribe politicians, force them to take loans with the IMF or use terrorists to mine gold for them. This time around the Russian army will be close.
Idayat Hassan - A Senior Associate, Non-Resident, at the Centre for Strategic and International Studies in Abuja has just gained a place on my shallow list of reliable sources for issues regarding Niger. The other two guests and the uninformed host, and the silly person who produced this segment should be immediately replaced with a competent persons who loves Africa and is willing to travel to the Sahel. Not one word about the military alliance and anti terror coalition of Mali, Bukeima Faso and Niger? No mention of them having to threaten ECOWAS against invasion by western proxies in Africa. These are huge factors in the decision not mentioned.
Peace coming to Africa with no Western interference. It's about time that Africa starts to wake up and take control over their resources and educate themselves to get rid of corruption and poverty in Africa.UBUNTU
All these analysts are clowns, no troops leave their bases beside training purposes. They’re talking as if these forces are fighting insurgents with their guns lmao
Al Jazeera should, in the future, constitute a better quality panel than this. These African countries are not looking for 'Superior European Masters', whether from East or West. They are looking for a strengthened internal AGENCY to deal with the crises of Araboids, under the smokescreen of Islamic Jihads, invading to steal Bantu African lands and mineral resources. Definitely taking agency has helped the indigenous peoples of the Sahel to take better, strategically, control their situation. The situation in Mali where the Dogon, Mandika etc, have organized to fight off Fulani and Tuarreg invaders illustrates the point. Historically the West, for racist and imperialist reasons, has allied with these Araboids against indigenous Black African peoples. Now Songhai, Hausa and other indigenous peoples in Niger are taking agency in their fight against normal Western imperialist Araboid allies, like Bazoum etc. There is no way they will not win, long term. Their decision to disengage with the West is the most, geopolitically prudent to do. And that's what they are doing.
This lady has no idea what she is talking about, but I would like to add a point that has not been mentioned. France's behaviour in this whole episode has been a disgrace, refusing to leave, to releasing terrorist prisoners when they did not get their way, to making assassination attempts, to discoveries France has been secretly assisting the terrorist groups all this time and not trying to help end their presence, to France's colonial attitude towards these countries and the battle between France and these countries to end disgraceful and illegal old colonial contracts. All these disgraceful French actions have undermined and brought distrust in the relationship between America and these countries because France is clearly a strong partner of the United States and shows and shares information with the United States. France ignored all this and continued its behaviour, in a way prepared, or doing so unknowingly, to selfishly take the United States down with them in terms of the states of the relationships with these countries, creating a bigger and bigger chasm that was becoming more and more impossible to repair and still is with every strong French action. Peace and love
These countries will need their own currencies if they wish to break away from France economically. They pretty much all use a version of the CFA franc.
African dose not need protection from USA we are not children we are father and mother we know how to protect ourselves we are not slave we free freedom for Africa a slave will say we are wrong but we are not
You're telling me the whole of Niger does not have 2500 men to replace those Americans? People who think like these panelists are part of our problem in Africa. Especially this lady from Nigeria
After 20 years in Afghanistan the US left the country’s economy no existence,with over one million afghan addicted to drug,with afghanistan the world drug supplier, with crime , killing and kidnapping at its highest. The us and its military is the problem not the solution
That's not all the way true the us trained the Afghan army and left military equipment to defend itself but they turned and ran and did not defend that of what you are speaking of so who is really at fault?
@@user-wn5go9no5n over last 30 years , the US cause the destruction of Irak , Afghanistan and contributed in the destruction of Libya , and now it is directly complicit in the genocide happening in Gaza
She should be worried about her country, Nigerian. US is only and only interested in their interests. They could careless about the africans, for that matter...
AMERICA is a continent with over 1 billion people and 34 sovereign nations like Argentina, Brazil, Cuba etc ...are all American countries. The military you speak about are the UNITEDSTADIANS ... USA these are the ones you speak of overstaying their occupation of many nations like Iraq, Niger, Syria and who knows where else? I live in USA, and I love the history and many of the traditions of respect, law and equality it was founded on. Most people of the United States are ignorant of this exclusive representation... the people of the United States are not the only Americans and they do not represent the interests of all American countries. The people and army of UNITED STATES are UNITEDSTADIANS! l and many Americans from throughout North and South America, call on the world to be respectful of all AMERICANS... north
This is really upsetting to Americans. Now we have to go and find out where all these countries we're occupying are located. Most of us can't even find the country of Alaska on a map.
The issue reminds me of the story about The Rat Catchers of Delli in India. Despite constant killing of the rats the local authorities realised that the rat population was not being iradicated. So they decided to hire commercial companies to get the job done. The rat catchers objected to this and rioted against the use of others. The reason was because if this company got rid of the rats it would kill all the rats which would affect their livelihoods. The Americans and the French forces were helping to destroy the islamic fundamentalists who were terrorising the population. After over 20 years the people realised that the terrorists were not being destroyed. Instead the American and french were protecting them because they realised that if they destroyed them they wouldn't have the excuses to stay in their country. Rat Catchers BEWARE !
Where are terrorists getting their ammunition from? They are the same people who provide these weapons, and when people are being terrorized. They come to rescue just like they are doing in Gaza. They supply ammunition to Israel to starve and kill civilians, and later they can come with aid and sea drop like they really care about civilians slaughter. I was traveling through the mali Sahara region from Gao to kidal . I saw a French helicopter landed unluckly i was detiend in one of the terrorist camps. I saw the french soldiers given supplies to terrorism groups idk what actual it was. And these people are forming all this wars to extract African resources.
If you really believe yurugu (the demolition crew) is helping Afrika, you are very naive! Read about the history of the Native Indians after the white man landed on their shores!
