 Africa, continent of coups d'état. Now Niger, a coup or some |
 |
The Republic of Niger, a former French colony, presents some political instability as a result of several coups d'état after its independence. Overpopulated country (with 23 million inhabitants), with a Muslim majority (95% Sunni and 5% Shiite), with northern and central desert areas (Sahara and Sahel) covering nearly two thirds of the country, which, affected by the change climate, harsh droughts and famines, with precarious agriculture and livestock and, consequently, extreme poverty (despite its mining wealth in uranium, gold and oil, it is the poorest country in Africa), has caused the population to flee to the neighboring countries at the most critical moments; Likewise, the country with an annual population growth of 4%, has a high illiteracy rate, greater than 70%; situation to which must be added some tribal tensions between the Zarma (long supported by the French) and the rest ( Hausa - the majority ethnic group -, Fulani , Kanuri , Tubu , Gurma and Tuareg Kel Denneg or Kel Dinnik - peoples of the east-), some of ancient origin such as those between sedentary farmers and Peul shepherds and ranchers , to which are joined other more current ones, caused by the damage caused by climate change and the consequent social frustrations.
Country that has a poor health situation (suffered from malaria, malnutrition, high infant mortality and short life expectancy) has also been affected by the coronavirus pandemic (in 2020 decreasing in intensity, although there is difficulty in providing reliable data due to the lack of tests to identify the sick); pandemic that, despite being BTC Users Number Data somewhat slowed by government intervention through closures of schools and mosques, borders, as well as limitations on mobility, and thanks to international aid given the lack of specialized personnel for treatments and vaccination (Doctors Without Borders opened a treatment center for patients with COVID-19 symptoms), has produced an economic disaster to add to the high social impoverishment.
All of these weaknesses have allowed the jihadists to act on two open fronts, to the east and to the west, in full expansion, fronts in which Boko Haram and the Islamic State (IS) of West Africa (with bases in Nigeria) operate in the east, and the IS of the Great Sahara (with bases in Mali) and the Group and Support of Islam and Muslims in the west (to add in the south the violence of various groups of Nigerien bandits); situation that is turning Niger into a new war front along with Mali and Burkina Faso. Terrorist violence, at the moment unstoppable, which was initially directed against the traditional authorities to destabilize the territory, and then against the military and security forces to prevent its expansion, and even against the forces and military bases of the G5 Sahel in the country, and Finally, applying terror against all civilians who resist them.
