The French held massive protests over raising retirement age but kept silent on their country exploitation and sufferings of people in Niger.
Lol, French people want the human rights protector badge but dont want the responsibilities that comes with it.
No one ever blames the local leaders. That allows corruption to continue
@@rerun374Stop making these unnecessary points!!! This is 2023 and everyone knows how these corrupt leaders stay in power. Leaders seeking equity all get assassinated with support of these phantom corporate interests. Middle East countries sell only resources and make tons of money, so why not African countries? These lands need peace and responsibility to stop unnecessary immigration out to Europe… even EU would agree on this
@@rerun374yes. It's clear we won't blame because we know they are puppies of the colonial powers. So let's wait for more military intervention in few places in west Africa,
@@hayfordsomuah1134 And you will never move forward until you blame your leaders. Enjoy subjugation.
Wow! Atleast someone explained our concerns as Africans so precisely. Some news platforms are trying to downplay the French exploitation problem as the contributor to these millitary coups in West Africa. It is what it is.
Neocolonial World Order imposed to enslave mankind.
That's because the Leftist Media has a love affair with France. They also rip off everyone who goes to France with Excessively high prices of everything that is unjustifiable. The Media has assisted them greatly over the decades in doing this. So it is not just Africa they 'steal' from, but all that go to France as well. They are notoriously rude to all foreigners as well. This is simply France's modus operandi in seemingly everything that has anything to do with business or $$$.
Why do your leaders allow this
This guy is a Russian bot, Russia is behind all of this, they want to stop the West from functioning
Sure keep ignoring the fact that Africa got a gigantic overpopulation and high birth rate problem.
Keep blaming others brother.
It’s incredible how the mainstream media here in Europe totally ignores this, it’s absolute crickets.
Not even one television Station in germany has ever said any of this bzc of her relationship with france🤮👿
@@joankarla-dinga5831 Same here in Portugal. Disgusting.
French colonialism never ended
Their actions can be justified. All these coins have been bloodless with no loss of life. Well done to them.
The West is in denial of their atrocious behaviour on the African continent. They keep their citizens ignorant of their past and present dark deeds in Africa.
Africans are quite tired of the West, to put it simply.
Now this is news reporting. Bravo 👏
Naigeer is Planet Arrakis :)
Totally biased. Even the figures cited don't support the narrative.
@@alainpannetier2543 the only thing biased is Francafrique and France's continued exploitation of it's African colonies. Before lecturing others, come clean yourself.
@@Ranjan_Mohanty I thought Indians were good at math. How do you justify the purported "1 light bulb out of 3" ratio when France imports only 16% of its Uranium from Niger (and nuclear power is only 60% of France power generation). To me looks closer to one out of 10. There are a lot more inaccuracies.
are you joking !!!!!
This is the most sincere news I've ever listened to on this channel 👏. Tusan takk.
This lady is perfect in her anaysis❤
Yes. She nailed it, but she didn't mention about accumulated resources that they knew they will be kicked out of Africa.
most of what she said was right but she add a lot of lies, like the 5%, it is 25%, and the DRC problem is because of cobalt 71% in 2021 of the global production, this is BS, looks like control opposition

This is the truth.
Really sad such a mindbuggling reality in Niger.
If African countries can find the means to extract and sell their precious natural resources to anyone they want, then prosperity will begin to thrive in those countries.
The gold dinar was a gold currency that Gadaffi believed would free Africa from the shackles of the global economic system and bring about greater prosperity for all. He wanted to create independent African currency. Gaddafi's plan would indeed have changed the current status quo and shifted power to the countries with the most resources, and which continent is being exploited the most for resources? You guessed it, Africa. The goal of this new currency was to stop using the dollar for oil transactions. Nigeria, Egypt, Tunisia and Angola were all prepared to change their currencies. Under Gadaffi, Libyans had access to free water, nearly free gasoline, a free healthcare system and free education. The attack on Libya like the attack on Iraq is about power and control of resources, including not only oil but also gold. Nato went to Libya to loot 144 tons of gold. Gaddafi had advocated for Africa to use the abundant gold in Libya and South Africa to create an African currency based on a gold dinar for all foreign exchange..in other words, if countries wanted to buy resources from Africa they would have to do so in gold dinars not dollars. The dinar has a much higher value than the dollar, hence making Africa richer by default. This gold was accumulated and was intended to be used to establish a Pan African currency based on the Libyan gold dinar. This provided an alternative to the French franc for francophone African countries. France discovered this plan.
@@cleopatra7377 Exactly but these african leaders don't think like him, there just obtuse stupid selfish leaders lining their own pockets and sell out their own country. Africa needs another gadaffi willing to unite and unifty Africa as a powerhouse continent free from global exploitation .
@@cleopatra7377 These African Nations have the leverage with the Gold resources for example....Scenarios: The French want uranium, these African nations should demand Gold back from them....The United States need cobalt, uranium and coltan etc., demand back Gold...China wants uranium, cobalt, and coltan etc., demand back Gold ....And so on....That's the strategy....
The dont have the survival intellect of the chinese or the indians , the europeans will have them fighting each other to the last African . When intellegence was giving away the were at the back of the line. The african Americans call themselves Dogs
Welcome to a multipolar world
Years ago, I read a book called " the bottom Billion" by British economist Paul collier. The book was published 2007, and it was a big eye opening about African countries complicated economic and other problems. Interesting book to read.
Thus why Africans leaders are so afraid to hear about this truth story because they are benefiting from this exploitation, above all they are new colonialists exploiting they're own people
You won't hear this on US mainstream news, so I tune in to WION.
That's because it's a bullshit story, there is nothing nefarious going on
Of course not because US buys Uranium from the world's cheapest seller Russia 😂
This is at least the RIGHT narrative of what is really happening in Niger and Africa. Thank you for doing your research and using your common sense to find the reality instead of repeating the same Western wrong narrative!!!
Attaching only diamond to the Congo is like crediting Lionel Messi only for his speed. Apologize to them 😂
LOL!.......Lionel who?
They seem to have no idea what Congo has.
@@harrism8047 yet u can't do anything about it even in 2023 😅
At least this channel is mentioning Congo, other channels don’t give a shit , please enlighten us as to what else Congo has and how they should not let themselves be exploited by the west . At least this channel is exposing others.Most people probably aren’t aware of what’s happening to them.
Drc natural resources worth at least 23 trillion dollar
Thank you wion....this level of truth/detailing is what most western median will never do👍👍👍
Beautiful reporting! Welldone
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT IT IS
Let me print in black capital, THIS IS THE MOST HONEST NEWS I EVER WATCHED FROM NION PODCAST. News that the entire world should see and listen . In fact sending to every living being i know for them to send to others . You have done your homework, The entire news is FACTS.. Thank you for this one . No biasness. Just FACTS .
Basta basta basta con questi sfruttamento , è di una vergogna approfittare di queste persone così povere , una povertà indotta per continuare lo sfruttamento. Non se ne può più .
E xche non ti informi?
@@alainpannetier2543Go away colonizers, nobody needs your opinion.
Kudos to you and your program for seeking solutions and answers to the problems and consequences suffered by these countries.
Wow this is why.. This is my number 1 news station 🎉🎉
Good journalism!! You"ve made your research and gave a professional analysis.. Congrat!
Thanks for your contribution to African liberation
In my country Tanzania we have almost everything from uranium,Gold,diamond,natural gas you name it and all are mined by foreigners

Why are you guys not doing a military coup already?
Their government is to blame. They sell out get rich and forget their constituents.
Well that’s why a new government has taken over
Those who didn't sell out got killed too
@ruzimabonieck6908 True
France also exports electricity and make money on that!
Rise Africa ✊🏾
They need to leave Africa alone! There’s no other country I would like to see doing better than France and US put together! Hope all African nations will unite now and build wealth and education for their people!
❤
It's such a sweet thought, but the Russians and Chinese are standing in line to take over the mines. If Africa does not change itself, they'll never get out of this exploitative situation.
You said it very well and every western media is ignoring it. But Africa is up right now!
No the bulk of the African Nations are quite as a mouse, same as when the west went after Ghadaffi. Africa is a doomed continent its people will go the way of the North american and Australian Natives. Neither Russia nor China can save them their level of intellegence is not on par with the Europeans or Asians.
Yep👍
Poor People😢
Wake up call
Not for long
Greed is all
U said it all good news
I love WION. This is one of the few news channels I've found that tells the hard, bold truth. I wish other sources would be just as honest. Thanks Molly for your transparent reporting.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR CLEARLY EXPLAINING TO WESTERN CITIZENS THE REALITY BEHIND THE EXPLORATION OF AFRICAN COUNTRIES. BY DOING SO, WESTERN COUNTRIES TREAD UNDERFOOT HUMAN RIGHTS AND DIGNITY OF THE EXPLOITED COUNTRIES WITH THE COMPLICITY OF IRRESPONSIBLE PRESIDENTS WHO CARE ABOUT THEMSELVES AND THEIR FAMILIES.
Please mention Ghana we have everything but poor
Ghana 🇬🇭 chose to join the francophone association meaning poverty and more exploitation in the country.

Molly Ma'am Has Taken Gravitas Plus to Another Level...
Keep it Up......❤
Yes it has been!
One must stand your ground when you realize the value you have in your hands
Thank you for this info and btw we are seeking complete decolonization & complete control of our own resources, period.
Finally you understand the reason of military coups 😂😂😂. Good job!
You misspelled "pretext".
Well said .
God bless you. Keep being truthful❤
This was an awesome report.
Also France is fourth place in gold reserves , but they dont have a gold mine in their territory , however, Mali has 800 gold mines, and not a kilo of gold in its reserves , and guess what, French companies are the ones with the main extraction contracts.
Exactly.
They lie. They don't have anything under their ground. All they do is extract from Africa and refine them abroad and act like the minerals came from their ground
That is really @#$% up. This shit needs to end today.
They have gold mines in France and France has no presence in Mali anymore.
@@FarsightAEwhich part of France has gold ? No longer being in Mali doesn’t take away the fact that all France gold reserves were stolen from Africa
Why didn't African countries mine their own resources the last couple of centuries? Who in their countries profited from deals with foreign countries?
Their leaders got chosen by the west to continue the exploitation. They never got elected by the people.
That's why we want the French gone . Soon, other Western countries. We are the richest continent on earth, we shouldn't be travelling
because each time a leader (president, minister, etc.) is offended by this, they neutralize him and create the k.o until someone is found who will follow their will (generally, coming from institutions such as ena de paris, IMF, World Bank, etc.).
The technolgy and know how is always in hands of west as it is olso massively expensive, builing a mine cost foryunes and it takes even up to 20y before you start to make a profit , Not only but these are third world country the average education is 2 year basic sholling (no ill inttended) Without west or any other leading tech country they just gionna ruin all for there own people
You said couple of centuries. When was slavery abolished? And colonization. And we are still in neo colonization
GOD will bless this woman for saying the truth ❤️🇳🇬✌🏾
"Finally you're, speaking truth to power "
Thanks for provide the right information ❤
5% of the world Uranium... and they think they're going to have any impact on the market?
Australia recently halved Uranium production, yet still makes 10% of worlds Uranium from just 2 mines. At one point it exported 90% of worlds Uraniumand still holds 40% of planets total Uranium reserves.
@@mashelalnaar Agreed. The second-ranking Oz Uranium mine is actually mining copper ore (with gold, silver and uranium being more like byproducts).
It pays to have some of the oldest rocks on the planet.
Thank god, the juntas will now bring wealth and prosperity to its ppl. We'll see it soon, I'm sure. 😂
You know what they say about sarcasm?
The Junta will destroy whatever is left of their economy. How do I know? History.
Show us where that's happened yet in Africa. S. Africa is a basket case, ruined by their own hands.
There'll be another coup led by another captain in another couple of years, same old Africa.
God is our Strength. Niger we All in Afrika will keep you in prayers👐👏🙏
You have studiiusly avoided any mention of the corruption and incompetence if the ruling african governments
Angola is not a poor country.its one of the most expensive country and well built .
Best news ever!!!
Congo has more then diamonds it is the richest country with it's mineral wealth in the world!
Diamonds are a poor source of wealth, DeBeers artificially inflated prices and is now fighting a losing battle trying to keep superior man made diamonds off the market. (If you expose a man made diamond to UV light, the atomic lattice of the man made diamond is so perfect the it traps light and will glow for a second or two after the light is removed).
The heading 😂😂😂 is that even a question?
Brava, straight to the point...Bull's Eye...
Why is it even a question?
Sincerely speaking WION has been the best news broadcast station keep the good work up 🆙

True
I was going to meet col Gaddafi but i was told it was illegal to meet him by our uk government
Yes, but the African countries refused to help Gadaffi, Libyans. Today SOME Africans Countries are ganging with the French and Americans to fight Niger for their resources. What is Indias response . tHEY CAME FOR MY NEIGHBOUR AND I SAID NOTHING , ONE DAY THEY CAME FOR ME
How come Rusia did not Help Kaddaffi
@@LegaLegaTV it happened too quickly and I think the Russians were deceived too, but then afterwards Russia really helped the Assad government in Syria after seeing what happened in Libya
I lv this média they are simply unbaise keep up the good job kodos!

Excellent news analysis from the WION team of journalists. Your hard work behind the scenes are very much appreciated. Deep news analysis and balanced reporting have become the hallmark of WION journalism standards.
I also like the credit you have given to the team at the end of the footage but it is too short. I suggest you let the names run on the screen for at least the last minute or two in order for viewers to achieve acquaintance with the team. Here are the names of the team who deserve special appreciation (and probably many others not mentioned here but working behind the scenes on other reports):
Presenter: Molly Gambhir; Editorial: Jibran Khan; Producer: Nancy Kapoor; Camera Ajit Thakur.
Thank you and greetings from Windhoek, Namibia. Keep up the good work.
I listened for the word corruption but never heard it.
Reporters present the facts, and as viewers we make our conclusion. Their government made legal pacts with other countries. That’s what make news reports legitimate from unbiased sources.
I looked to see how Niger ranked in corruption and it was not good. If the elephant in the room isn't addressed, how do you think this with change the lives of the people?
@@apextroll Part of getting rid of corruption, involves getting rid of leaders who are corrupted by the West.
@@curious-mind7265 That may be true, but not acknowledging that corruption exists will not help. The culture dictates that it will not go away if Europeans are not there. That said, if aid and resource revenue goes away, so does the corruption. 🤔
@@apextroll It will, there have been leaders who stood up for what's right, guess what? The West took them out because they weren't corruptible. Yes aid is used as a tool of corruption to buy the already puppet leaders so the they can turn a blind eye as the majority of the resource revenue is looted by Western countries. So the two are linked. Its like someone taking bread from your house and giving you the crumbs. But the crumbs go to one person, the one in bed with the imperialists, the general populous don't benefit.
This was beautifully explained
Thanks for the eyeopening analysis 🙏
Excellent! Not at all afraid to dig into the heart of the matter.
One thing, the US military base would not bring Niger any prosperity because its a military base! What do you expect it to do other then serve US geopolitcal interests? Other then that it was a good report, but come on! If you're gonna hurl blame, at least throw it at France who maintains the CFA franc to enforce its neocolonialism on its former colony.
France is ending the CFA and isnt forcing anyone to use it.
Wion is an Indian channel. India has to go easy on France because India has strategic agreements with France which involves buying French defense equipment.
I am saying this as an Indian. Everyone has their reasons. It's not a perfect world.
Gravitas the best news reporters thank you for such good journalism
Well done WION…. you are beginning to tell the truth on this matter.
I agree with you 👍☺️🌹 so needless to hear 🙏🌹
She said their actions cannot be justified by any means. 😂
They are poor because they do not have a stable government that allow investments into such countries. No big company would invest into a country that has militant groups running around with weapons and replacing governments forcefully every few years to enrich themselves. And since none of the big international companieis would invest in such countries and these countries do not have any significant infrastructure or the technologies to build up an industry on their own all they can do is to dig up resources (because that is the easy job which does not require deep knowledge and high-tech) and sell these resources to foreign nations.
If such countries would have stable political systems they also could attract investments and companies would establish factories and pump money into these countries.
These countries have what the industrial countries need, they are just to stupid to provide the conditions for better business relations. That is why no investment will go further than "give us your resources, we will do the rest". And as a matter of fact, there are countries which did it better and established non-exploitive business relations with international companies because they created a foundation of a stable political system.
You could also see it from a different perspective. IF they think the business relations are unfair they could simply stop them and instead of selling resources they could out of nowhere use the resources to build up their own industry. Ridiculous, yes I know. But that is the situation... these countries have no other options and never will have such because they over and over are cutting the branch they are sitting on. To expect different results is ridiculous.
Oh and btw. if you think that India is not exploiting other nations you must be very naive.
Exactly.
Which are the countries India is exploiting?
@@msdolly6101981A large variety actually. Every rising nation with growing industry is exploiting others. India is no exception to this or do you think the resources for the increasing numbers of high-tech products have been falling out of the sky? Most of such products in India are even significantly cheaper than in other developed countries which is impossible without exploiting others.
And why thy dont have a stable government ? Guess what...
@@guyver-9717Because every f-ing military leader can start a coup because he thinks to be the strong man who got weapons (primarily from Russia).
Tq
How is that possible?
Because raw resources don’t = shit if you have nobody that can do anything useful with it
URANIUM IS A MERCHANDISE
True but you're wrong in that case
😭😭✊🏾🔥🔥 freedom
zambia too
Very detailed news. Thank you.
Correction their actions are completely justified. That's western thinking. If an oppressor using the parents to continue to offer up their sons and daughters to be used and abused by the oppressor, who said those Son and Daughters don't have the right and aren't justified in cutting the oppressors throats if they choose to and to disobey their parents aswell in any way they see fit inorder to attain their freedom and control their own destiny. Children aren't expected to honor thy mother and father, if thy mother and father have sided with the enemy of their children's potential. Besides that great report.
The reason why primary resources exporting countries are poorer than the others, is because most added value comes from industry and services. Now, foreign countries might have had untold deals here, but trading elected leaders for military dictators will not help develop an industry and services. It'll only change in whose pockets the money goes.🙄
Excellent report. Simply the truth. Pure wickedness
Hats off to you for offering a true perspective on the realities and motives behind the poverty and insurrection which when the military joins the game becomes volatile or explosive. It would be interesting if you would further investigate as to who are the terrorists or the jihadists or the rebels or the mercenaries, the third stakeholders in this conflict. What are their claims and demands? Where do they get their arms and weapons? That is the one missing piece in the puzzle.
Westners talks about humanitarian acts n humanity, equality, peace and all that bookish words to world in a presentable way........do these people have a bit of conscience!
Thank You for the perspective!
...yes
The USA, France and UK are the three major countries who are directly responsible for poverty in Africa, Venezuela ... etc. But it is a shame that big country like India is remaining silent to the issue and watching the injustice silently.
Venezuela screwed itself via Chavez and his Socialist idiocy. He fired petroleum managers and installed cronies. America has pretty much been hands off as far as African resources. So, you're not nearly correct.
yeah surely Venezuela is poor because of USA or whatever.. not because this is a regime with deep corruption problems and wasting cash on everyone in close ties to government to keep the ship afloat and keep people quiet. Are you serious? money management in VE is a big joke
You have enough injustice in your own country, along with occupation of Kashmir, and rampant poverty where people still go to the washroom in the street.
I will tell you why. India has strategic partnerships with France. We procured Rafale from them and will be buying much more from them. If the Indian Govt speaks up for Niger, it risks jeopardising all those deals.
It's a selfish world. We each have to stand up for ourselves. What Kissinger said about America is true for every country.
Any country doesn't have permanent friends or enemies, only interests.
No, US has no colonial history , US is a young country … Educate yourself before speaking stupid stuff. Big European countries owned lands in africa , not US. Venezuela was and is socialist communist country , in country like that you dont need an enemy to colapse because socialist communism allways fails and falls apart on its own . Lets go back to european imperial colonists , they will get out of africa and russians will jump in , so basically africa will change its master and remain in slave position ! Even if they manage to beccome finaly free ,there will be a chaos and civil war because africans dont know how to run a country , manage its resources and prosper . Things will be the the same if not worse. Im telling that because southeastern europeans are the same as africans and are in same position as africans . French and brits are exploiting weaker europeans too
Thanks for covering this. The focus should be on "secretive" (exploitative) deals of the French in that region. France is the worst paraia state in the world and must be forced to change its business practices.
"By the year AD 802,701, humanity has evolved into two separate species: the Eloi and the Morlocks. The Eloi live a banal life of ease on the surface of the Earth while the Morlocks live underground, tending machinery and providing food, clothing, and inventory for the Eloi."
This was from H.G. Well's book, _The Time Machine_ and it definitely defines our societies today.
The wealthy are the Eloi and we the working class are the Morlocks. We are the workers, living in squalor while they, the privileged, live in luxury.
Wonderful explanation
Everything she said is correct i can because i am from Niger
These issues could have been dealt with legislatively by these countries. 1) You raise the taxes on the companies who operate the mines, or 2) take control of the natural resources and distribute the profit to the people through direct payments or social welfare programs. In either case there is no need to do away with a democratic government. It's a shame the democratic government is not given a chance to develop.
This video poorly argues its point. How are these not all policy failures of the states? Seems like there's a reason the states haven't abandoned the CFA - it's a stable currency. Also, trying to equivocate Venezuela with Niger makes me question all the information presented. Venezuela's problems are entirely self-made.
@@NinjaXryho ye its easy to throw shade on West, because african countries have no idea how to run a country, not to mention tackling corruption problems, oh boy..
@@NinjaXryho Have you heard about Francafrique ? Read and educate yourself and then talk.
You are ignorant about Francafrique too. Read on how France effectively controls all of it's former African colonies by dictating their economic, foreign and defense policies for them. Any leader who tried to be independent and break off was brutally murdered. I will give you three names : Thomas Sankara, Patrice Lumumba and Bouganda.
Read and then you will understand where's the problem.
While they have rich mineral resources, they don't have technology requires to mine those resources.
They have no choice but to sell the right to mine those resources to foreign entity.
And since they can't do it themselves, they have to sell those right at petty price offer by foreign enterprise and sign contract for sole right to mine.
Now you see the problem.
It doesn't matter at all how rich resources one country are, if they can't mine it themselves and rely on others, they're ought to be exploited.
If they jack up the concession price, foreign entity won't come and those resources become useless. low the price and they remain poor.
Vicious cycle continues...
China does it across Africa on a fifty fifty basis, while the Europe and west exploits.
For Gods sake how can they build such an important drone base in niger but they can't build roads for them.?.
That is a high level of disrespect and selfishness
In Africa we have millionaires they can invest in those sectors if only their politicians are not greedy and also if the west do not fuel War in those countries.
The problem is the thieving greed of the Collective West
When was Africa left alone to develop their countries? From slavery to colonialism and neo colonialism? It's easier said than done, it seems Africa's beauty and natural resources is a curse rather than blessing. The west obsession with Africa is toxic. But every thing that has a beginning has an end. Long live the MAJESTIC continent of Africa
Africans are educated, if let alone, they can buy and develop those technologies you are talking about. We have African skilled professionals working abroad, we are not dumb as the west makes u think. They only force dumb leaders on us
Yes
Sick and tired of the corrupt collective west. Stand strong, Afrika. Respect and support from a miserable western EU citizen
Russia 🇷🇺 will help 👏🏾👏🏾
Nobody can help , they themselves have to learn how things work
SUNNY ☀️DAY that's why we want the western countries out
Russia will never be different with their western brothers. They're all exploitative. They're only pretending to be good now because their western brothers have been exposed. In the long run, they'll show their colours too
Non African Troll Alert

Real talk
Russian wagner group is responsible
The point you GLARINGLY fail to make is the political corruption that facilitates the exploitation. A local political regime is making these deals for their personal benefit!
Seems like another one who knows nothing about what's happening in these couped countries..
Are you American
And you're forgetting who is responsible for putting those politicians in charge.

Thinking is important before commenting. Puppet leaders have puppeteers, have a guess who they are. Then revisit your comment.
