At its peak, Niger provided up to 15% of France’s uranium needs, supporting the backbone of French energy security. But today, that long-standing relationship has collapsed — and a new geopolitical struggle is taking shape across the Sahel, Russia, China, India, Turkey, and the Gulf. What’s happening in Niger is much bigger than one uranium deal. It’s a case study of how multipolarity is redrawing global power structures. A major turning point came when Niger’s post-coup authorities reportedly negotiated a $170 million uranium sale to Russia’s Rosatom, involving stockpiles previously controlled by the French nuclear giant Orano. After the 2023 coup, French influence crumbled, troops withdrew, Orano halted operations, and Niger turned decisively toward new global partners. Since then, Niger, Mali, and Burkina Faso have rejected Paris’ political and economic dominance and embraced a new model of cooperation — one defined by sovereignty, strategic diversification, and partnerships with BRICS nations and other Global South players. Meanwhile, France faces a painful reality: losing access to Niger’s uranium increases its energy costs, reduces leverage, and exposes its declining influence across Africa. Niger is now in talks with India, China, Turkey, and the UAE, not just for uranium exports but for co-investment in conversion facilities that would finally allow the country to process its own raw materials — capturing more value and building economic independence. This shift is reinforced by the Alliance of Sahel States, which is creating joint mining policies, a sovereign wealth fund, and a regional minerals exchange to strengthen bargaining power and secure long-term development. This video breaks down: • Why Niger’s uranium mattered so much to France • How the 2023 coup dismantled decades of post-colonial influence • The rise of multipolar competition in Africa’s resource markets • Russia, China, India, and Gulf states’ strategic interests in the Sahel • Why Western development models are losing ground • How the Sahel is becoming a linchpin of the new global economic order The balance of power in Africa has already shifted — the only question now is how far this transformation will spread and how the West will respond. #Niger, #Uranium, #SahelCrisis, #Geopolitics, #FranceAfrica, #BRICS, #MultipolarWorld, #RussiaAfrica, #ChinaAfrica, #IndiaEnergy, #GlobalSouth, #NuclearEnergy, #UraniumMarket, #SahelAlliance, #AfricaRising, #FranceCrisis, #ResourcePolitics, #AfricaGeopolitics, #EnergySecurity, #UraniumMining
