MODERATORS
A few days ago someone said France was planning an attack to Niger after the coup. I'm not defending the coup but that's how colonialism used to work: I conquered you, your sources (uranium) are mine. And nobody ever thought about using it locally for elecricy production.
Ecowas said that they would intervene, now they backed down. I have never heard the intention of Frances military to go in
