Russian military instructors have arrived in Niger with an air defence system and other equipment as part of the West African nation’s deepening security ties with Moscow, state television announced late on Thursday. Niger’s military government agreed in January to step up security cooperation with Russia, after expelling French forces that were helping fight jihadist rebellions in several Sahel nations.

  1. French, EU, British and USA have been a poisonous elements in Africa and have put regimes to serve their own national interests.
    Africa need to wake and and take control of the own destiny – The US-EU-British have raped Africa long enough – Time to work work with Global south, India , Russia.

  2. Gilbril,me too.This is good news for Niger Burkina and Mali.Am from ghana and I hope my usless president plus that one in Nigeria will wake-up and learn from these 3french speaking countries. Ghana Nigeria are the ones sabotaging the unification of our precious beautiful mega rich continent. What a shame,still licking looting billions signing stupid contracts with the devil to continue exploit both nations. I hope am making sense People.

  4. 🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

  6. Russia Loves Africa and Africa Loves Russia, The two truly respect and care for each other, the other group is just opportunistic

  7. Will the Russian air defense be able to stop commercial drones and Cessna airplanes from flying a thousand kilometers into the country?

  9. ISIS and Boko Haram aren't exactly known for possessing advanced aircraft technology, why do they need anti-air defenses

  13. This attitude of Russia is definitely enraging France.
    I think France has already deployed troops to Ukraine to fight against Russia.😂😂😂

  18. Who ever thought of touching the Russian sleeping bear since 2008 and 2014. As far as I know history, in all wars they go to the end. They ended up in Paris and Berlin at one time. There is no agreement when the Russian bear wakes up.

  23. The Sahel region is… actually Frances's biggest cash cow in the world. It's where a huge amount of its gold reserves come from. Where not only did they exploit the Uranium, for 5% of the market price to power their nuclear plants but also to sell at a 70-80% profit to other customers! This will seriously weaken France, and with a domino effect collapse the neo-colonialism of the other Western and Central African countries. It really exposes the self-entitlement and inhumane exploitation that they have continued to enforce. It cannot be underestimated what a blow this is for the Frogs. Even worse these nations will publicly expose, and give evidence of this with the diplomatic help of the BRICS countries. They may even claim back some of the Gold reserves. France are in for a hard time!

  26. The real question is whether the west can cooperate with developing countries via a win-win partnership like China does across the globe (and it works!)!, or continue the old habit of mafia-boss like relationships, trickery, exploitation, interference and supremacist, and colonialist mentality. One of these methods is sustainable, and one is not. China chose wisely.

  27. Russia never colonized nobody. They are seen partners in Africa. On the other hand, France is a colonizer. A nasty one at that

  33. It's way more better withRussian. Let westerners go hug transformer if they like. Russian federation is very much better than the other criminals at least Russian will tell you what they want face to face and have a win win agreements for the both parties, no double standard behind closedoor.
