The recent coup d‘état in Niger has propelled the nation into one of the most intricate and challenging situations it has faced, not only within its own
However, the pertinent question arises: will Western powers permit Niger to align itself with Russia? Given the existing global scenario, where the United States and its Western allies have united against Russia, does Niger possess the necessary economic and military prowess to engage in a confrontation and challenge the dominance of Western European influence on its soil?
The soldiers who have taken charge in Niger have inadvertently plunged the nation into disarray, wedged uncomfortably between two opposing forces. The situation presents a grim dichotomy: either ECOWAS intervenes militarily to reinstate the ousted government, potentially sparking an interminable conflict, or the pressure exerted by ECOWAS member parliaments dissuades the use of military action, leading to ECOWAS abandoning the impending war altogether.
In every conceivable manner, a faction of soldiers has propelled Niger into a precarious abyss, the repercussions of which are felt not only within West Africa but across the entire global stage.
