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.
