Good on them for sticking to an Africa for Africans. Get the west out, let the people govern themselves.

Niger is ditching ECOWAS for the security from other states that recently underwent coups. It’s hard to see how this is in the interest of the common person.

Just because France is against the coup doesn’t mean it’s good for Nigeriens.

From the media coming from Niger and other countries it definitely seems to me that the people are fully supportive of the coup. The other nations that underwent coups also were deposing west-installed leaders.
