Niger’s democratically elected former President Mohamed Bazoum and his wife Hadiza have spent more than 20 months in detention by a military that seized power in 2023 and this week cemented its grip on the country.

A former high school philosophy teacher who went on to become Niger’s interior minister, Bazoum represented a break with the past: His presidential inauguration in 2021 was hailed as the first peaceful democratic transition in the West African nation since it gained independence from France in 1960.

But he was ousted only two years later as Niger followed in the footsteps of neighboring Mali, Guinea, and Burkina Faso in returning to military rule. On Wednesday, coup leader General Abdourahamane Tchiani was sworn in as Niger’s president for a “transitional” five years.

    If your stupid troll ass looked over my post history you’d see a pattern but then again… that requires honesty, a spine in your back, no bullshit troll intent, and no bad faith bullshit. I think the projection is strong with your… type. Keep huffing the glue in your lice carpet wall covered soviet bloc room. Things will look up for you.

        Here’s the sad part of this whole exchange. I’m over here, a random cunt using the last dying breaths of my shithole country’s freedom to criticise my piece of shit government, while noting there are, in fact, other piece of shit governments too.

        Meanwhile, you’re out there being an absolutely spineless and convictionless arselicker; doing all you can to please the portrait of whatever whack dictator you have hanging on your sucio walls and you’re all pissed off because someone that’s clearly not you, has the fucking audacity to not be a spineless dictator groveling crotch pheasant.

        Yea, I might be somewhere that sucks and has trash elites but so do you.

        The difference between you and I is, I have a day job that’s not being an autocrat’s bitch online and am willing to see the wrongs of my people and call for change. Meanwhile, here you are… jUsT fOlLoWiNg OrDeRs to defend autocracy on every social media you’re assigned to - and are angry someone out there isn’t cowering like you.

        You could be working towards your and your people’s own freedom to criticize own dickhole leaders but instead, here you are… proving your pathetic allegiance to an effort towards the world’s enslavement.

        Bravo clownrade. 🤡

            You called yourself Russian above, Borat. Lol! Fucking halfwit. You write like your mom drank too much while you were in the womb. You read like a cishet white dude who mentally never figured out how to articulate above the 10th grade*. Defo, you wouldn’t know wtf intelligence was if it bit you in the clown ass. If you’re not being paid to be a coward and you’re just this complete spineless twat on lemmy for nothing… lmfao that proves the point.

            So mentally fucked up on your glue fumes you’re calling yourself Russo in one breath, forgetting you did that and whining about it, and then vomiting out autocrat talking points like a Trump/Biden/Putin/Duterte/Bukele loving bitch. Then getting confused wtf fascism even is.

            No one is this fucking stupid. If you’re not getting paid to be this shitty of a troll, you should consider it.

                Donde es insande? Is that a glue name you don’t like? Lol estupida cabron.

                Anyway. I guess you would know what too much meth looks like. Though, judging from our boring ass exchange here and how much you’re DRAMATICALLY lacking, meth and trailers might be too rich for you at this time. Sorry about your luck, Borat. I can’t relate.

                Not sure why you’re being a cunt about people’s housing and inability to buy food, btw. Trailers and food stamps is an insult to you? Still can’t relate. Just dumb right wing cunt things? Definitely FOX news, IRA, and Hasbara talking points. Again, if you’re not getting paid by one of them you are truly an idiot. Lol

                I’m glad you enjoy watching people suffer. You’ve made that crystal clear in every exchange, bud. Probably due to the fetal alcohol syndrome in your frontal lobe. Sad, really. But, cheer up fashy. It makes you an excellent candidate for your daddy Trump’s cabinet selects. You should tweet him or something. I bet he’d make you director of meth and glue huffing. Right up there with RFK. You’d finally have an actual purpose in your sad little life.

                    I honestly don’t care where you’re from, Borat. But I’d be willing to put cash down you aren’t a lick of what you claim on lemmy. So whatever. One thing is defo clear. You aren’t sober and you your mom drank A LOT when she had you in womb. To bad so sad. Anyway.
