Citizens in Niger are now protesting a futile democracy

  • International appeals have been made for the leaders of the military coup in Niger.
  • West African nations have seen military coups before, and the majority of Niger’s population.
  • Western powers should end the economic rape of African countries and allow African countries to assume their rightful place.

International appeals have been made for the leaders of the military coup in Niger to hand up control to the ousted civilian President Bazoum as a result of the coup, which was orchestrated by Presidential guards. Poor governance, economic deterioration, insecurity, widespread poverty, corruption, and resource exploitation by foreign powers are problems in the region.

Although West African nations have seen military coups before, the majority of Niger’s population is currently rejoicing and protesting in support of the military government.

Fruitless Democracy

The people of Niger are aware that the sanctions imposed on their nation would have absolutely no positive effects on them individually. Since the military dictatorship won’t have access to necessary resources, the withdrawal of foreign aid will hurt various aspects of their lives.

The people of Niger, however, appear to prefer to bear the cross of the military over continuing to endure a democratic system of government that does not meet their demands.

Democracy is described as a kind of governance that is run by, for, and by the people. People may turn against democracy to support a military administration in their desire for better governance when a democratic government fails to meet its requirements.

Whatever the leadership style, the people of Niger deserve a government those functions and meets their demands. Additionally, the selfish actions and influence of foreign powers in African nations are being denounced by the people of Niger.

While Kenyan pan-Africanist professor PLO Lumumba has spoken out against foreign forces’ ongoing economic colonization of African nations, the people of the Niger Republic take action in opposition to it.

Western powers should end the economic rape of African countries and allow African countries to assume their rightful place in the world in the interest of justice and the spirit of democracy that Western powers aim to foster in Niger.

The situation that is developing in the Niger Republic requires thoughtful consideration of the standard of democratic governance in Africa and the impact of external powers on domestic economic and political concerns.

More so than the ECOWAS military being mobilized against the junta or sanctions being imposed on the Niger people, such introspection would solidify democratic ideals and values across West Africa.
