Niger Accuses France of Backing Airport Attack as Russia Expands Influence | Firstpost Africa | N18G

Описание: Niger’s military leader, General Abdourahamane Tiani, has accused France and neighbouring African states of supporting a terrorist attack on a Niger airport, though no evidence has been provided and the accused countries have not responded. The attack comes amid ongoing instability in the Sahel, where Niger’s junta is fighting jihadist groups linked to ISIS and al-Qaeda. Tiani praised Russian security forces for their support as Niger distances itself from its former colonial ruler, France. Rising tensions are also tied to uranium, following a legal dispute that saw French nuclear firm Orano lose control of key mining operations. Uncertainty continues to surround the incident and Niger’s next move.
