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.

    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 grade*. 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.

        You’re insande, drunk or simply american dumb. You must’ve done too much meth in your trailer/car/tent or wherever you cockroaches live.
        It really brings me so much joy your dimwit president (a perfect US representative) is accelerating the demise of your shithole.
        All of you clowns crying online and having total meltdowns LOL
        Enjoy the sanctions, luckily all you vulgar corn syrup filled peasants have enough fat to last a few months but it’s not going to go well for you scum.
        And nobody in the world will care.
        Bye POS. Enjoy your food stamps 😂

          Donde es insande? Is that a glue name you don’t like? Lol estupida cabron.

          Anyway. I guess you would know what too much meth looks like. Though, judging from our boring ass exchange here and how much you’re DRAMATICALLY lacking, meth and trailers might be too rich for you at this time. Sorry about your luck, Borat. I can’t relate.

          Not sure why you’re being a cunt about people’s housing and inability to buy food, btw. Trailers and food stamps is an insult to you? Still can’t relate. Just dumb right wing cunt things? Definitely FOX news, IRA, and Hasbara talking points. Again, if you’re not getting paid by one of them you are truly an idiot. Lol

          I’m glad you enjoy watching people suffer. You’ve made that crystal clear in every exchange, bud. Probably due to the fetal alcohol syndrome in your frontal lobe. Sad, really. But, cheer up fashy. It makes you an excellent candidate for your daddy Trump’s cabinet selects. You should tweet him or something. I bet he’d make you director of meth and glue huffing. Right up there with RFK. You’d finally have an actual purpose in your sad little life.

            I’m from Belgium, unlike your pathetic country it’s not a junkie and homeless infested shithole, I have never encountered a meth addict in my life.
            I only see them in videos from the US.
            And now you, the Russophobic US regime propaganda posting racist cunt wants to pretend to have the high grond? LOL.
            Get fucked

                You’re repeating your same lame attempts at insults

                t I’d be willing to put cash down you aren’t a lick of what you claim on lemmy
                I bet you don’t have cash since you’re from the US shithole.
                Also it doesn’t matter what you think does it?
                Nobody listens to dumb americunts.
                Like your fat mom didn’t listen when they told her she shouldn’t fuck a monkey and got you.
