France hasn't threatened anyone. It states that it would défend its citizen and assets, should they be attacked. CDAO announced they would intervene if the elected president is not freed and reinstated.
Defend it's asset huh?
But isnt it weird that nigers uranium produces 40% of Frances electricity while only 11% of nigers citizens even have access to electricity?
Disinformation. France sources 10% of its uranium supply from Niger. It has companies doing business with Niger, as many other countries do. But of course you can blame France for every issue in every African country. It is a really bad country with horrible people in it.
imagine being this user, and looking at a neo-colonized country that has suffered from appalling resource extraction by the french for decades and then saying
It is a really bad country with horrible people in it.
please stfu
I'm pretty sure the user is referring to France there.
