  1. The United States and Europe are the looters of the country. Also how is it that the United States is supposed to be a "superpower" with all this technology drones etc but they still have terrorist problems? Tells me the United are the problem

  2. Good news Africa will never develop as long we work with the west because western development is based on getting cheap or not paying for resources and create war in the global south so that thr western army will be deployed in these countries and apse force these countries to pay for it in the name of keeping them safe. Thr partnership is fuck and turn over and fuck what ever is missing

  3. They American landed in Niger like Aliens without Nigerial Approval and try to lecture Nigerian leaders that is rubbish

    We don't care how much that based cost, the american should go
    Their present doesn't help in tye interrest of the Nigerian people

  4. OKAY WE'RE HERE TO GET AWAY FROM THE USA

    Nigeriens prefer to see investors rather than foreign soldiers.

    In accordance with the aspirations of its people and the following information:

    Denunciation with immediate effect of the agreement relating to the status of military personnel and US civilian employees

    Reasons:

    Observation of the overflight of the territory by US aircraft which questions the sincerity and relevance of maintaining cooperation.

    Since July 26, 2023, decision to suspend unilateral military cooperation invoking article 70-08 of the "Consolidate Appropriation Act" without however withdrawing its troops

    No obligation to grant the request for support against terrorist groups

    No information on military activities carried out from US military bases and on the equipment deployed nor the civil and military effects

    Forced to pay taxes on US military aircraft which cost the Nigerien taxpayer billions of CFA francs;

    Illegal, unconstitutional and anti-democratic military presence since the verbal note of July 6, 2012 without consultation of the national representation

    Failure to respect the three principles of governance of the country: respect for sovereignty, the choice of partners and the interests of the people

    Willingness to cooperate with peace-loving, justice-loving peoples in accordance with the rules of international law

    During the second Iraq war, false accusations of having sold uranium to Iraq, the exploitation of which was totally controlled by France with everyone's knowledge, were brought against the government of President Tanja.

    Before 2010, there was not a single foreign soldier, nor a single terrorist on the territory, hence the establishment of the correlation between these presences.
