Join me as I dive into the surprising turn of events in Niger and see how Macron reacts to this unexpected shake-up! The Sahel is transforming, and Niger is at the forefront of a movement that has left France—and much of the West—reeling. This isn’t just a political story; it’s the tale of a nation shaking off the remnants of colonialism, declaring its independence, and challenging the status quo in a way that’s catching everyone’s attention. Niger, along with its neighbors Mali and Burkina Faso, is rewriting the rules of its relationship with France. These countries, known collectively as the Alliance of Sahel States (AES), are determined to sever ties with neo-colonialism and reclaim their sovereignty. From expelling French troops to renaming streets once dedicated to French leaders, Niger’s actions are sending shockwaves across the region, with President Macron watching nervously from Paris. The question is: How did we get here, and what’s driving these drastic moves?
