Can anyone direct me to an article that summarizes the relevant history in West Africa (in an unbiased fashion) and how it relates to the present coup in Niger? I don’t feel like I have enough knowledge of the region to make an informed judgment about which side to support (if any) in this conflict.
This article covers a bit of the background.
You’re asking for a lot here. I promise you that anyone who answers this is going to have a bias. The obvious one is Niger is a strategic interest in the area for the US, and Russia is the reason for the coupe. The history goes back thousands of years, and you’re not going to get one little happy link to wrap it all up for you with a bow on top.
There’s no such thing as an unbiased source. It’s called critical thinking and you have to do it in your own.
