Niger’s democratically elected former President Mohamed Bazoum and his wife Hadiza have spent more than 20 months in detention by a military that seized power in 2023 and this week cemented its grip on the country.
A former high school philosophy teacher who went on to become Niger’s interior minister, Bazoum represented a break with the past: His presidential inauguration in 2021 was hailed as the first peaceful democratic transition in the West African nation since it gained independence from France in 1960.
But he was ousted only two years later as Niger followed in the footsteps of neighboring Mali, Guinea, and Burkina Faso in returning to military rule. On Wednesday, coup leader General Abdourahamane Tchiani was sworn in as Niger’s president for a “transitional” five years.
edit: downvotes from spineless coward Putin removed. maybe if you’re a cunt hard enough your daddy dictator will anal you softly.
I was reading about General Abdourahamane Tchiani. Dude is a Russian backed economic hitman. I guess it’s not just my shitty country doing that coup to healthy democracies bullshit.
Western imperialists crying about their puppet being removed.
“wEsTeRn ImPeRiLiSt…”
I guess that makes killing innocent people and fucking a functioning government over OK to you. lol. jfc… you people are fucking SPECIAL.
How’s it going now with your downvotes?
-4 LOL
I guess people see through your US fascist regime propaganda.
And what a vulgar and vile hate filled POS you must be to write such deranged comments.Lol. Oh you mad. And all because you can’t read. Your parents really hooked you up in the life success department.
Poor US AFRICOM colonial occupation force getting kicked out.
Oh nooo, the poor people!
I bet you are also crying about the violence and coups you cause almost every day in the world.
Hypocrite.
The US colonial power is finished. CopeIf your stupid troll ass looked over my post history you’d see a pattern but then again… that requires honesty, a spine in your back, no bullshit troll intent, and no bad faith bullshit. I think the projection is strong with your… type. Keep huffing the glue in your lice carpet wall covered soviet bloc room. Things will look up for you.
O look at the little butthurt Russophobic racist.
His shithole country losing all over the world and seething about it, hahahahaaaaa
Him and his little propaganda post about a country he couldn’t find on a map and doesn’t know anything about, like most of the ignorant US morons.
I’m from western Europe you idiot, far superior and educated.
Glad we can dump your banana republic.
Now go cry somewhere else, no need for your moronic american neanderthal level remarks.
Get back to your trailer and your meth and go jerk off to your stars and stripes rag you all love so much or whatever it is you do there.Here’s the sad part of this whole exchange. I’m over here, a random cunt using the last dying breaths of my shithole country’s freedom to criticise my piece of shit government, while noting there are, in fact, other piece of shit governments too.
Meanwhile, you’re out there being an absolutely spineless and convictionless arselicker; doing all you can to please the portrait of whatever whack dictator you have hanging on your sucio walls and you’re all pissed off because someone that’s clearly not you, has the fucking audacity to not be a spineless dictator groveling crotch pheasant.
Yea, I might be somewhere that sucks and has trash elites but so do you.
The difference between you and I is, I have a day job that’s not being an autocrat’s bitch online and am willing to see the wrongs of my people and call for change. Meanwhile, here you are… jUsT fOlLoWiNg OrDeRs to defend autocracy on every social media you’re assigned to - and are angry someone out there isn’t cowering like you.
You could be working towards your and your people’s own freedom to criticize own dickhole leaders but instead, here you are… proving your pathetic allegiance to an effort towards the world’s enslavement.
Bravo clownrade. 🤡
the sad part for you is that you for some reason think I am Russian.
I am a much more advanced and civilised educated knowledgeable European that understands geopolitics at a level you can never achieve.
You make ridiculous assumptions fueled by your propaganda not even close to reality.
It is sad that you can’t even understand most of the world doesn’t like the US shithole.
My ‘leaders’ as you call them are sell-out US bootlickers, the people however think differently.
You cant even grasp the beginning of the spectrum that is out there.
A good thing actually, it’s best the enemy is completely ignorant. Couldn’t hope for more.
The fact you think I am paid to ridicule your awful cancer country says a lot more about you than me.
And it’s been a constant here. None of you clowns have even the least knowledge of the world.
All the more reason you will lose, whatever you try.
Fascist lose in the end.You called yourself Russian above, Borat. Lol! Fucking halfwit. You write like your mom drank too much while you were in the womb. You read like a cishet white dude who mentally never figured out how to articulate above the 10th grad. Defo, you wouldn’t know wtf intelligence was if it bit you in the clown ass. If you’re not being paid to be a coward and you’re just this complete spineless twat on lemmy for nothing… lmfao that proves the point.
So mentally fucked up on your glue fumes you’re calling yourself Russo in one breath, forgetting you did that and whining about it, and then vomiting out autocrat talking points like a Trump/Biden/Putin/Duterte/Bukele loving bitch. Then getting confused wtf fascism even is.
No one is this fucking stupid. If you’re not getting paid to be this shitty of a troll, you should consider it.
