No, you misread the news article.. Niger is removing the terrorist army from their lands.

Like Israel is going to give a fuck. Stupid decision making an athlete defect to another country for no reason. Complete shoot yourself in the foot move.

The 2021 National Defense Act gives the gov. power to exclude funding to Universities that host even the most simple of organizations like the Confucius Institute, so.. Desperately clinging to convince people China is bad by doing whatever they can. Frustrating for sure.

Here is primarily where Mr. Norton is sourcing everything from if you are all interested.

Some other interesting notes:

  • Majority support Russia as the most 'trustworthy foreign actor', this includes China
  • Majority support military junta staying in power, separate pluralities for 'an extended period' and 'until new elections are held'. 54% do not want military intervention from ECOWAS
  • Data is from 'Premise data'. a crowdsourced (??) polling aggregate from users in various countries. https://www.premise.com/why-premise/
  • Typical 'new and amazing breakthrough company' bullshit lingo aside, they seem to just have a ready crowd of 'volunteers' in various places that they can send questions to at any time, idk if they posted anything about demographics or specific polling data as I can't find the poll itself.

https://tass.com/world/1658013 This outlet claims that 'The poll was conducted among highly educated male citizens, 62% of whom were residents of the capital.'

On reddit, the article received a few comments about how Africans dont want democracy and then was deleted on /r/worldnews.

That's essentially what I've found on this specific topic.
