Africa
……Says it’s good riddance to western colonisers
By Tennyson Sampson
WAGNER mercenary boss Yevgeny Prigozhin, who led a failed mutiny against the Russian Army’s top brass last month, has hailed Niger Republic‘s coup as good news.
Wagner is said to have described the event as a moment of long overdue liberation from Western colonizers according to a Telegram app channels.
Prigozhin had told an African news outlet in an interview published online, days earlier that Wagner was ready to increase its Africa presence in Africa and that a fresh batch of its fighters had arrived in Central African Republic, CAR, where they have a security contact, ahead of a constitutional referendum.
Niger Republic, a country which is one of the poorest in the world but which also holds some of its biggest uranium deposits, declared full independence from colonial ruler France in 19960.
‘’what happened in Niger is nothing other than the struggle of the People of Niger with their colonizers who are trying to foist their rules of life on them and their conditions and keep them in the state that africa was in hundreds of years ago’’. Said Prigozhin.
