Sahel Vs West: Niger's Tchiani Slams France & EU Over Niamey Airport Attack | Firstpost Africa

Watch this video as Firstpost explains how Niger’s military leader General Abdourahamane Tchiani accuses France of supporting an attack on Niamey’s main international airport, claiming the West is waging a broader campaign against the Sahel. While the allegations have not been independently verified and France denies interfering in Niger’s affairs, the accusations highlight a much deeper geopolitical struggle. As Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso move further away from Western influence, the Alliance of Sahel States is reshaping its security, economic and diplomatic ties. From expelling French forces to strengthening links with Russia, the region is entering a new era of strategic competition. Alyson Le Grange brings you more on this story on Firstpost Africa.
