Niger Accuses France, EU of 'Sponsoring' Failed Coup; Support Grows For Tiani | Firstpost Africa
Watch this video as Firstpost explains how Niger has launched a new verbal attack on former colonial ruler France and the European Union. Thousands of demonstrators flooded the Place de la Concertation in Niamey to rally behind General Abdourahamane Tiani following a failed military mutiny that triggered violent clashes across the capital. The uprising targeted strategic infrastructure, including Air Base 101 and areas around the presidential palace, before loyalist forces put down the assault with critical support from Russia's Africa Corps. Organised by pro-junta civil society groups, the rally saw crowds waving Nigerien and Russian flags while chanting anti-imperialist slogans. Speakers and demonstrators directed widespread anger outwards, publicly accusing France, the European Union, and regional allies within ECOWAS of orchestrating the unrest to overthrow the government. Since taking power in July 2023, Tiani’s government has systematically severed ties with traditional Western partners, aligning with Russia alongside neighbouring Sahel states. The latest unrest underscores Niger's deepening reliance on Moscow amid lingering internal instability and shifting regional alliances.
