« Recolonisation of the Sahel »: What Niger's Explosive UN Speech Means for Senegal

Niger's Prime Minister Ali Mahaman Lamine Zeine accused France and Ukraine of destabilizing the Sahel at the UN General Assembly, claiming this is now documented. He described a conspiracy aimed at recolonizing the region, with proxies led by France and supported by Ukraine and other countries preparing to attack Niger's military and oil facilities. This speech bolsters the Sahel States Alliance and may impact Senegal, which is trying to sustain dialogue with Sahel countries.
