you've got burkina faso and mali represented there. so, clearly the russians are always looking for opportunity. mr. pprishogan has announced he will continue to focus on africa, and he is clearly doing that today in st. petersburg. whether the incoming military putschists will reach out to russia, let's see. but they will certainly find that the russians are knocking on their door. the russians were knocking very loudly on the door of the burkina faso junta. but up to now, they have said, we don't want russia to be involved with us. sohail: we are coming very closely to the end of our program. nicholas norbrook, very quickly, there is such a thing as civil society in most countries, and one assumes there is such a society in niger as well who tried to support the president and faced gunfire. where do you think the public stand now in niger? is there a voice or has it been silenced? nicholas: i don't think there is the site of middle class that you see. but as you can see from the pictures yesterday, there were crowds who came out imme

there are jihadist threats and pressures, particularly from mali and burkina faso and spilling over into border areas, but i don't think these are the main drivers of the present offense of today. >> of course, there is concern internationally for a number of reasons, but for that very reason as well because france has been using niger as part of its strategy against jihadists in the region. there is concern, is in there, that if this coup were to develop, niger could go the way of mali and burkina faso and france could find itself without a place to base its troops at all. >> it is less about france. niger is a critical member of the whole west africa security structure that is attempting to contain the spread of jihadism because it hosts not only french troops, but it hosts a lot of american troops. there are also troops from a number of other eu countries involved in training programs and support programs within the country, so niger occupies a critical position in that structure, but it has also been a very vocal defender of the democratic principles of the economic community of, the

you can see where it's located in west africa, between chad, nigeria, burkina faso and mali.een as a big blow for western leaders. we know of a number of armed groups and extremist groups operating regionally. and, of course, concerns over their growing influence. just a few weeks ago, we were speaking about un forces departing from mali and also last year, an unpopular french force departing burkina faso and mali. and we know there is a presence of the wagner mercenary group there. so there will be concerns about russia's growing influence and whether they may continue to expand on that influence in the region. so this will be a big blow for western leaders. you can see the soldiers behind this coup here. they have warned of any foreign intervention, adding that they will respect president bazoum's wellbeing. though should it succeed, this will further complicate western efforts in the sahel. let's talk a little bit about that final comment that the western influence is waning in the say hello. our security correspondent frank gardner says the influence of western government

niger's neighbours, burkina faso and mali, have both pivoted towards russia since their own coups.ick westcott was the british ambassador for niger between 2008 and 2011. i spoke to him earlier and asked him what his thoughts were on the current situation there. the last coup that took place in 2010 was a relatively good coup. it removed a president who had decided he wanted to stay on for a third term, probably indefinitely in the military, intervened, removed him, and then managed a transition to civilian rule. this coup is exactly the opposite. there was a duly elected, democratically, popularly chosen president who has been removed by the military, it seems primarily for their own individual interest. so the reaction from both african countries and western countries is not entirely surprising. but there's a dilemma because, if western countries come down very heavily on the new regime, there is a risk that they will turn to moscow. they will look to wagner to come in and protect them. but not to do that encourages further coups in other countries. and the key factor is what afr

before this , france was also expelled from mali and burkina faso. the french military stationed in niger must leave this country in a hurry. dunami mohammad baz , who is one of france's allies, has become a new powerful man of niger. last night, abdurrahman kiani , the new powerful man of niger, appeared in public for the first time . case of any intervention at the same time, french president emmanuel macron condemned the money in a spear that condemns the president who was democratically elected. it turns out that a number of nigerians protested in the parliament square holding russian flags, their number was small, but the new crisis shows the decline of france's population in this region. in the last 18 months , french soldiers from mali and then burkina faso , france's military withdrawal as a result suspension the income and presence in the chart is also the result of the upcoming elections of this country. the special escheator for the dutch wedding, especially for france, also has a strategic role in terms of industry. niger's largest uraniu

the fifth military coup in this country since 2020 until now, after mali and burkina faso, it is thethird country in the sahel region of africa that has been involved in a coup. the niger coup coincides with the heightening of the competition between world powers in the west african region . we are seeing a report about these competitions. as a result, the fire was not extinguished the anger of the people spoke volumes and the office of the president's party was arrested and the united flag was raised from france in the name of the country . this is a dangerous action for democracy in that region. the governments of china and russia also demanded the return of order and security to the race, and the negative reaction in this regard is closely following the situation of ninja . we ask the current rulers of this country to uphold the opinion and peace and stability were the protectors of the day before, from the commanders of the guard the presidency of niger changed the government of this country by arresting the president, the people of niger also supported this action by organizing

world, france is printing colonial money for burkina faso, which is the gold mine., the french government demands 50% of the country's total exports. all this goes to the french treasury, this is the same gold, that this child extracts in the tunnels , mines over the past few years, france has turned against itself algeria morocco and tunisia , accusing these countries of not wanting to take back the refugees that the fifth republic sends out all its failures. the same french explain the intrigues of moscow and beijing whose positions on the continent are really strengthening, and all because in return for the help of the people of africa and in return. growing trade is not russia's not the chinese do not demand from the american. countries of political concessions and obedience russian companies work there them, the mining industry and supply minerals such as hmm coal or oil. uh, in south africa, mineral fertilizers are also supplied to south africa, uh, the second direction is consumer goods, the third direction is various it and hentech companies during his big t

countries like mauritania, mali, burkina faso, chad and niger. 0nly last year, the french basically gavebad relations with the new power there. they withdrew their forces, the un withdrew and the french chose to make their base in niger. there is $800 million drone base operating out of niger. —— $100 million. now niger is up for grabs, as it were. this will be welcomed by two lots of people, thejihad list insurgencies, they absolutely love this kind of instability and feed off it. they will almost certainly be looking for ways to profit from this. and quite possibly the wagner group which has close relations with the central african republic, burkina faso and other countries. this is a real setback for the west and a potential gain for moscow and the jihadists, even though those two are on different sides. i5 even though those two are on different sides.— even though those two are on different sides. is it clear, frank, whether the _ different sides. is it clear, frank, whether the military _ different sides. is it clear, frank, whether the military will - different sides. is it clear,

africa said hello region which is seen numerous power gaps in recent years including in mali and burkinaunday to discuss what is happening in niger. we've also heard earlier in the day from president micron who said that he had spoken to the ousted president who said he was in good health but it remains to be seen on what will happen with him and with the mutineers who have staged this coup. —— the french president. we will bring the latest as we get it here on bbc news. you are watching verified by. hello. friday was a pleasant enough day for most of us. just a few showers here and there. but how about the weekend? it is looking a little on the unsettled side but i don't think it is going to be as bad as last weekend. last weekend, at least saturday for some of us was an absolute write—off without persistent rain and the strong winds. but on the satellite picture, low pressure is close by — and a fair amount of cloud and low pressures are heading our way. in fact, over the next few days, we will see a succession of lows sweeping across the country. here is the picture early in the morni

that is the part of northwest africa that borders the sahara, so countries like mauritania, mali, burkinave up on mali, because they had very bad relations with the newjunta that seized power there. so they withdrew their forces. the un withdrew and the french chose to make their base in niger. there is a $100 million us drone base operating out of niger. this was supposed to be their safe place for monitoring and trying to spot the jihadist insurgencies across the region. and now, niger is up for grabs, as it were. this will be welcomed by two lots of people — the jihadist insurgencies, that is al-qaeda and isis. they absolutely love this kind of instability. they feed off it. they will almost certainly be looking for ways to profit from this, and quite possibly, the wagner group, which has got very close relations now with the central african republic, with mali, with burkina faso and other countries. so, this is a real setback for the west, and a potential gain for moscow and the jihadists, even though those two are on different sides. and is it clear, frank, whether the military will

and i think that what we've seen in mali and burkina faso, both of which experienced two coups in thea as well, that there's definitely a sense that the west africa region, that there's not really any serious kind of costs to staging a coup in terms of the kind of regional diplomatic response or the international response. what we've seen, though, unfortunately, in mali and burkina faso especially, is that the military regimes that have come to power have been very ill equipped to handle the insecurity in their states, the prevailing insecurity primarily in the form ofjihadist insurgency. but i think, unfortunately for the putschists in niger, their primary concern is not necessarily about the kind of status of the jihadist insurgency there. their primary concern has more to do with their own kind of political and financial power within niger, within the security sector in niger. kenya says it's ready to lead a multinationalforce in haiti where clashes between security forces and criminal gangs have displaced tens of thousands of people. kenya's foreign minister says nairobi would dep

democracy. nature has been invited to the west and ally, an anchor of stability. neighboring molly and burkina faso have had 4 goals in 3 years. and the struggling to find out is lemmings militants that so make me share the focus of less than a to contain both that growing militancy and political instability. a decade long and for the wednesdays people were, has for landed out and elsewhere, rushes president of vladimir putin, his hosting african leaders for a summit, and that enhancing cooperation with the continent. it comes just days after moscow pulled out of the ukraine. grain export deal further threatening food security and parts of africa. leaders arrived in st. petersburg ahead of the 2 day summit taking place just 10 days after the deal was canceled. russia says that it's expecting 49 african delegations, but only 17 has of state. sharply down from the kremlin 1st russia africa summit in 2019 attended by more than 40 heads of state to dw corresponded funding to char is following the russian advocate summit. you joins us now from reger where dw has been reporting since it was banned f

, i’ll add, i’ll say that we will be ready in the next month, in the next 3-4 months , to provide burkinau zimbab moth somalia of the central african republic free of charge. here are 25-50.000 tons of grain provided and free delivery of these products to consumers. this is really called global public goods. and this is the role that russia plays in the world, the emerging multipolar world. prior to this , vladimir putin held bilateral talks with the president of the african union, this presidency is ratified in this organization. now, uh, it's chaired by the union of the comoros. and after the plenary. vladimir putin met with the chief bazambikas and burundians. and bilateral talks are scheduled for today with the leaders of zimbabwe, uganda and, by the way, these countries, with the exception of the comoros the islands have never voted for a single anti-russian resolution in the united nations and there are 19 such countries in africa, and among them, in addition to those already mentioned , our strategic partners are the republic of south africa and algeria, as well as burkina faso gui

and burkina faso what is the relationship between niger and paris?ar that there's some anti-french sentiment in nigeria and there are people who say it's not too much paris-bound. especially after france was thrown out of the moth and burkinofos after the coup d'état. these people are wondering. why is niger france's only ally in the region? rebel authorities hit western countries after similar moth and burkina -style coups are french american military bases and this is the last stronghold of washington and paris in their fight against islamist jihadists in the region. there are fears that if the coup in nigeria is successful , events in the country will develop in the same way. wherever russia comes or plants and factories appeared in the soviet union, and the united states made up only falling planes of people after itself , and other trouble was started by the official representative of the ministry of foreign affairs, maria zakharova, and we are now seeing protests in iraq in the country, the causes of which are the rapid fall in the value of the
