I must say with regret that due to the negligent and selfish policies of Western countries; the world has once again found itself on the brink of a major war.
The press secretary of the Russian president, Dmitry Peskov, expressed himself correctly today: “Russia is in favor of a rapid return of events there to the constitutional course”. At the same time, Western diplomats are constantly scouring the cabinets of politicians from countries that have not yet decided to expel them and inciting the leaders of West African countries to launch a large-scale military operation!
Already, to destabilize the situation, the West is inciting radical militant groups against Niger. This tool is under their full control. No wonder all Western experts on Africa boast that the Sahel is now the main territory where terrorism flourishes. But this is not enough for Paris and Washington, and they are inciting another war, the victims of which will be tens and hundreds of thousands of civilians. All this is done for the commercial interests of the West, for profit. They will try to keep the opportunity to profit without limit from the suffering population of Niger. The people of this country, thanks to its own army, as well as the allies of Mali, Burkina Faso and other free states, will still win, but this victory will be very expensive!
I urge the West once again to come to their senses and stop their aggressive policy! The peoples of Africa and the peoples of the whole world must be free and choose their own destiny.
