France Is Furious - Niger Signs Uranium Deal With Russia Worth Billions of Dollars

France Is Furious - Niger Signs Uranium Deal With Russia Worth Billions of Dollars

Stopping European Stealing Of Africa's Wealth

Africa Reloaded

France is in shock. Just a year ago, Paris called the shots in Niger's uranium sector, controlling one of the world's most critical resources. For decades, France mined Niger's uranium, powering its nuclear plants, lighting its cities, and keeping its energy empire alive.

Even when General Abdourahmane Tiani came to power, France still enjoyed unrestricted access to Niger's uranium wealth. It seemed untouchable.
But then… everything changed.

Today, France has been thrown out, completely stripped of its monopoly. And in its place? Russia.

Yes, the Kremlin has stepped in and signed a deal that could reshape not just Niger, but the entire Sahel.

So here's the big question: What exactly is this uranium deal between Russia and Niger? Is it better than the one France had? Will it finally benefit the people of Niger, or is this just a new empire wearing a different mask?

And most importantly, what will France do now? Will it walk away quietly? Or fight to reclaim the resource that powered its dominance for decades?

Stay with us, because the answers might shock you.

Just days ago, a major shift unfolded in Niamey. Russia's Energy Minister, Sergei Tsivilev, landed in Niger's capital for a high-stakes meeting with Mines Minister Ousmane Abarchi.

But this wasn't just a diplomatic courtesy call, it was a power play. A meeting that signals something far bigger than military cooperation. Tsivilev outlined Russia's ambitions in clear terms: joint initiatives across key sectors, energy, water resources, infrastructure, agriculture. And then came the game changer, plans to deepen military and technical cooperation to strengthen regional stability and accelerate the creation of a united Sahel defense force.

In his own words:

"We see great potential for joint projects in energy, water, infrastructure, and agriculture. Russia is ready to build transport and logistics infrastructure for the Sahel Confederation, leveraging access to the sea through neighboring states."

This is a bold vision. It's not just about mining uranium. It's about reshaping the economic and security architecture of indigenous West Africa, with Russia at the center.
