Nice try. Avoiding the question and distracting with colonialism. But Niger was not a colony anymore, and you provided no example of a military coup that ended well in recent africa history. You are also avoiding the very obvious Russian imperialism of this coup. When a protest shows more Russian flags than Nigerian ones, I hardly believe it’s going to be independent…

It’s now a military dictature. Which one of those went well in the last 50 years in Africa?

While I don’t endorse colonialism, I’m not quite sure they’ll get it better with Russia.
