I embrace #research & #facts; #STEM#data & #innovation. True life experiences are more factual than nebulous defensive dispositions. Unapologetically Afrikan.
@MikaelCBernard Indeed, Article 9(1) and (2) of the Vienna Convention on diplomatic relations should be observed by all and sundry. Niger’s sovereignty is inviolable!

France in Negotiation with Níger 🇳🇪 for troops withdrawal!!!
Following 4 days of protests by thousands of Nigeriens against the French troops and ambassador, Emmanuel Macron has finally swallowed his pride and began negotiating a withdrawal with the Nigerien military govt.
The prime minister Ali Mahaman Lamine Zeine confirmed this during a press conference.
They also spoke about their recent talks with Ecowas, and downplayed the chances of Ecowas deploying troops to Níger, claiming it was very very unlikely, and that Níger had enough to defend itself.
At the time of writing this tweet, Nigeriens are still camped outside the French embassy and military base, demanding the total withdrawal of French troops and the outlawed ambassador.

From Algeria to Madagascar, France is implicated in numerous assassinations, coups, and regime change operations since its former colonies gained flag independence. In the case of anti-colonial politician Barthélemy Boganda in the Central African Republic, just before the country gained its 'freedom', he was taken out allegedly by the French Secret Service, who planted explosives on his plane. But it wasn't until 1963 that Paris killed the first African head of state, Sylvanus Olympio, of Togo. He'd famously once said: "I will do my best to ensure my country can thrive without France." Since then, Paris has had a hand in the deaths of presidents and politicians of over a dozen nations on the continent, including Burkina Faso's Thomas Sankara. There were also several revolutionaries from Cameroon, such as Ruben Um Nyobe, Félix Moumié and Ernest Ouandié. Much of these covert operations throughout the late 20th century were orchestrated by Jacques Foccart, a chief advisor to French presidents on African affairs. He was the head of secret intelligence missions across the continent. The most recent name on the death list is Libya's Muammar Gaddafi, following the French-backed NATO-led bombing of his country in 2011.

@dijoni Africans/black communities need to appreciate the originality of the legit scriptures. Of course skin colour/tone does matter!
We certainly owe no one any apologies! The greatest delusion ever has finally been exposed.
@Who_Lee718@dijoni Revelation 2:9 know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan
Magnificent Timbuktu the capital of the Mail ,in the reign of Mansa musa. Paris did not even exist then. Someone need to school Macron on this .It’s France 🇫🇷 that needs Africa,not the other way round.

King Leopold of Belgium often gets conveniently forgotten by historians as the man responsible for - by some estimates - the deaths 20-million Congolese. The Congo was ‘given’ to him at the Berlin Conference and he regarded its people as his property - to do with as he liked.
The atrocities carried out under his misrule include the mass-maiming of Congolese. He also opened human zoos in Belgium and put Africans on display. Yet, for some reason, his brutal campaign of slavery and genocide is hardly discussed by Eurocentric academia, politicians and media.
It’s something that angers motivational speaker Joshua Maponga. He asks why Hitler, who also killed millions, is rightly regraded as a monster - but Leopold not.
To be clear in his numbers are off as Hitler Killed a lot more than 2 million white people during the Second World War but still not as many as King Leopold II. Of course, comparing one people’s suffering with another’s is, of course, crass. But comparing how differently the villains who inflicted that suffering are treated is, perhaps, revelatory. Watch and let us know what you think about Maponga’s points.

Niger increases the price of uranium from now Niger can quietly enjoy its uranium and undertake major projects for the country.
France imposes its price on Niger before 1 kg of uranium is 4000 Fr (€0.80cent)now 1 kg of uranium at Niger is 137,000 Fr (€200 )the same price of Cannada 🇨🇦
That is the reason why France want to commit genocide and suicide in Niger 🇳🇪. Vive #Niger 🇳🇪 vive #Afrique
THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS of Nigerien protesters have surrounded the French military base in Niamey, the nation’s capital, demanding that the French leave immediately. Remember that the new administration in the country had given French soldiers till today, September 3 to get out of the country, as should be. But rather than get out, they stayed put on the orders of Macron’s France.
I was careful to advise that we avoid using force but use civil action against not just the army but the stubborn French Ambassador who has refused to leave the country also, even after his visas was cancelled and he was stripped of all his diplomatic immunities - something that we haven’t seen happen anywhere before. And you would think that a body like ECOWAS and AU that say they’re seeking solution, would step in at this time and tell France that what they’re doing is very childish and unacceptable, but no! Everyone let’s France have its way with such gross violations of a sovereign nation’s territorial integrity. Macron, who obviously lives in the rusted, fading colonial past, keeps boasting that without France, Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger would be no more, and that France won’t just let go! Talk about being high on some cheap drugs from Nigeria’s OJUELEGBA.
Shortly after I got the intelligence on what they were planning to do - how they want to use that stubborn Itte guy (the Ambassador) as a set up to initiate military action in Niger, I made a post advising our people in Niger to go slow on physical altercation with these enemies of the African continent. I advised civil action on a scale that the country hasn’t seen before and I advised that it be sustained till they get out. In fact a comment under that post suggested loud music and noise around the occupied locations to smoke out the “stubborn flies.” And what I’m seeing today shows they heeded that advise. Im delighted. And guess what? Shortly after I made that tweet, France went on record to say that any attempt to endanger the life of their “stubborn” diplomat will be met with a strong French military response, in other words, the 1,500 French soldiers now illegally stationed in Niger will start a war in defense of France’s illegal diplomat with zero diplomatic immunity or coloration. What a time to be alive! I knew it and that’s why I warned. That has always been the plan, because they know what they’re doing doesn’t make any sense in the world. But we will still win this and win it big.
Now that our Nigerien people have started the protest action on ground in Niger, I’m urging all Africans on social media to channel their energies to ensuring Macron and his cronies don’t have any rest until they PACK and GO! That’s what the owners of the land are saying and that’s what has to happen. Niger belongs to Nigeriens, not France. Niger is on the continent of AFRICA, not Europe. Somebody please wake Macron up from this bad dream and whisper this into his ears: “Monsieur, le Niger est parti !” (Mister, Niger is gone!)
Those of you who know how to create trending hashtags, come up with them. Let’s start an online version of what our people are doing on site in Niger. It’s gonna be operation #OccupyFrenchEmbassy and operation #OccupyFrenchArmyBase or whatever you can come up with. I’ll help to promote it. Let’s see how Macron will deal with this army of angry and patriotic citizens of Niger who want their country back at all costs, from the stifling grip of generational colonial enslavement.
Viva Mother AFRICA!
@Plugxox@BeertjeBrown@HansSling63 @Sprinter99800 Then worry not; just hang around and wait for a big serving of boiled yams coming soon to a table near you. Best of luck,too, to the millions of people who voted him in 👏🏿👏🏿
FRENCH FINANCIAL ENSLAVEMENT
If you need a reminder of France’s oppressive actions in Africa, this clip is as good as any. The former African Union representative to the United States, Arikana Chihombori-Quao, lays out what the former colonial power has done and still does. From coups and assassinations to continued acts of financial tyranny. Think we’re kidding? In order to get their independence, French colonies had to agree to use the CFA franc and transfer huge amounts of their reserves to the French Central Bank. Oh, and if they want any of it back - they have to withdraw it as a ‘loan’ and pay interest.
Take a listen.
