Our party has spoken out against supporting a war in Niger and has expressed support for whoever is in charge right now.
Unsurprisingly, the BUT PUTIN NIGER WAGNER IMPERIALISM comments quickly found their way towards the posts.
The media makes it out to be of great importance that our allies and the West intervene in Niger, when two weeks ago most people couldn't locate Niger on a map if their life depended on it.
So, how important does your media think Niger is?
I read an article in the Seattle Times about the Niger coup a few days ago. Talks about how they're hostile to France (ostensibly presented as a bad thing, no mention of French misadventures in West Africa) and pro Russia (scary! bad!)
Some talk about how it will affect the fight against islamic insurgents as well with the absence of French troops, they talked about how attacks from insurgents increased after the coups in Mali and Burkina Faso but in typical western journalism fashion left the reader to draw their own conclusions on that
