The military coup in Niger has raised concerns about uranium mining in the country by the French group Orano, and the consequences for France's energy independence.

        A few days ago someone said France was planning an attack to Niger after the coup. I’m not defending the coup but that’s how colonialism used to work: I conquered you, your sources (uranium) are mine. And nobody ever thought about using it locally for elecricy production.

          Ecowas said that they would intervene, now they backed down. I have never heard the intention of Frances military to go in

              France, the former colonial power, did not specify whether its backing would entail military support for an ECOWAS intervention in Niger
