It's good that Niger is trying to unshackle themselves from French influence. But it did not need to be in exchange for another imperialist that is just as bad if not worse.
As I said in another thread, Niger is replacing the somewat flawed influence of a Western democracy with the fatal influence of a full out dictatorship. But in the end, it's their choice, or that of their military rulers at least.
