      If you can read French, this article gives a great counterpoint on the situation https://contre-attaque.net/2023/09/15/niger-un-diplomate-francais-otage-de-macron/ Macron might very well be up to escalating the situation to the point he can engage Niger militarily.

        Hasn't the African Union already decided to not intervene in Niger?
