Colonial powers are colonial powers. USA and France try to control Niger using subserviant regimes and the people of Niger say NO by showing massive support for Niger's Armed Forces.
It is self-evident that the people of Niger have had enough of politicians and welcome the military takeover. This is not new. It has happened elsewhere and it goes to show that democracy that only exists by name, but not by substance is bound to be replaced from time to time.
As always, outsiders that go by titles and empty labels fail to recognize that representatives are not the people. When we say power to the people, by the people and for the people, we are not referring to elected politicians but to the citizens themselves that, disilusioned with politicians and the political system, decide to take matters into their own hands.
As it is usually the case, USA, France, the UN are controlled by the elites that believe that they know more than ordinary citizens who have to live or die because of decisions made by the elites. Suddenly, somebody based in Washington, Paris or New York believes that he or she knows more than the people of Niger what serves Niger. First step, they threaten Niger with financial sanctions. Second step, they threaten Niger with armed intervention. But they don't want to do it themselves. They use other countries that they control to do their dirty work. They will use African blood to bring Niger under control. This is modern slavery. The white masters will use black Africans to exert control.
The Marikana Massacre in South Africa is a typical example of colonial domination, even under the ANC administration. When African miners asked for a salary rise, black South African Police killed black miners shooting them in the back to protect foreign interests. Even British journalists publicly called Niger a French colony and part of the French Empire. Any rebellion will be soaked in blood so that the colonial powers can continue exerting their power over Africa. This is the real example of racist domination. Not the fake protests carried out by fake protesters in the Developed World.
