"#Nigerien reactions to #Macronβs announcement that French troops would be
withdrawn from #Niger. France's decision to finally bow to weeks of pressure
from military leaders and popular demonstrations is widely seen as a
capitulation as Macron had earlier said that only ousted President Mohamed
Bazoum could order them out. Many Nigeriens say the 'coup' was a rebellion
against French neocolonialism. Niger is part of the 14 West African countries
that form a "Franc Zone": countries that have achieved political independence
but are still economically enslaved thanks to a colonial pact that not only
determines how these countries spend their own money, but also ensures that
France remains the main beneficiary of these countriesβ natural resources."
