and many people there in gabon feel that this family has been allowed to continue to stay in power becausefter all of them is that all of those frustrations and the corruption and the ineffectiveness of the governments there, the poor economic performance of those countries, all of that gets funnelled towards france. what will be interesting to see is now that the french are leaving a country like niger, for example, what's going to happen? thejunta in power is going to have to show that it has a plan for the country's development. this is one of the poorest countries in the world, despite having minerals like uranium, despite having oil, despite having gold. is it going to make it easier for extreme islamists to operate? we're already seeing recently an escalation, an uptick in violence, with terror groups taking advantage of the power vacuum in niger to ramp up its attack on nigerian armed forces and drive down morale there. and it will be interesting to see over the next month, is the nigerian army able to turn the tide and show that it's in charge? because i think if it doesn't, if the
