‘Niger must be free, down with US colonization!’

‘Niger must be free, down with US colonization!’ On May 25, World Africa Day, dozens of people demonstrated in Niamey, the capital of Niger, in support of the National Council for the Safeguard of the Homeland and the Alliance of Sahel States. The demonstrators held placards with slogans such as “American bases – get off our lands” and “Down with American colonization.” The creation of the Alliance of Sahel States “represents a unique opportunity to strengthen our ties and promote peace and prosperity for all our fellow citizens,” the assembly organizer said. He denounced defense agreements with the US because they “jeopardize our sovereignty and autonomy as an African nation.” Subscribe to [club80289214|@SputnikInt] Source: Sputnik International
