Thanx Kukeh for sharing. Niger has been a powder-keg for a long time. Indeed, no surprise. It is greedy, selfish, and know-it-all leaders like Tandja who destabilize their countries. I have belived that coups are a violent manifestation of discontent and strife. If you oppress your people and suffocate peaceful demonstration, your days are numbered. That is not to say that if you oppress your people and allow peaceful demonstrations, you friggin days are not numbered. Whether the coup is successful or not today, it marks the beginning of the peoples' efforts to rid themselves of you. And now the country hopes whoever replaces you is not another clueless idiot.

 

Haruna.
