Yesterday the coup junta ask France to get the hell out and some citizens have attacked the French embassy.
Bear in mind France gets a huge chunk of its uranium for its nuclear power plants from Niger etc while Niger remains one of the poorest countries in the world. Anyway..
The coup regime has been offered an ultimatum by a block of West African countries to restore the democratically elected gov't or face consequences including sanctions or use of force. I don't know if that threat will work given the nonchalant attitude toward the key players like Russia and the United States.
