Reasons Behind the Coup Detat In Niger

Why coup d'état in Niger? Will the junta hand back power to ousted President Mohamed Bazoum? Some people blame the military to destroy democracy and others support them to take out some corrupt leaders who betrayed their nation. The commanders of the army accused many politicians to be bought by France and USA and supported terrorists in sahel region. Why these strong accusations? Whenever Niger military traced the terrorists and found their allocations,  they were obliged to report to USA and France before they could attack the terrorists. They could receive the orders from abroad after six to seven hours And the terrorists could hide in the western military bases. Niger soldiers were frustrated by being played by some corrupt politicians and they wished to clean terrorists who destabilised peace.   It was a well - known game  of some westerners in their country. A moral army hated to continue witnessing multiple  bloodshed of their innocent African compatriots who were killed because of some selfish politicians. Nigeria and Niger share strong ethnic, economic and cultural ties and any military intervention against Niger would affect northern Nigeria, already facing serious security challenges of its own. Imagine if it was China or Russia that put its military bases in USA or France and organised some terrorists to destabilise those countries? some world leaders don't think about the future of their people.
