Russia Appoints New Ambassador to Niger as French Influence Wanes | Firstpost Africa | N18G
In a significant geopolitical shift, Russia has appointed Viktor Voropayev as its first permanent ambassador to Niger in over three decades, cementing Moscow’s growing influence in the Sahel. The move follows the 2023 coup that ousted President Mohamed Bazoum and brought General Abdourahamane Tiani’s junta to power. Since then, Niamey has pivoted sharply away from its former colonial ruler, France, expelling Western troops and forging closer security ties with the Kremlin. The rivalry has extended to the economic front, specifically regarding Niger’s vast uranium reserves.

Amid this, Russia has stepped in with an offer to develop Niger’s civil nuclear power infrastructure.---
