The fuck is this article? What are the differences in ideologies between the military and the government? Is there any history of this conflict? How long has this president been in office? Most BBC readers probably have no idea about anything in Niger, myself included. The article should supply at least a little of this info.
Bbc breaking news stories like this often start as a very small article and are updated rapidly to give more information
There are only 3 actual sources of world news these days, the BBC is not one of them. They’re probably waiting on AP to send the details from boots on the ground.
Considering this is 16 minutes old and a currently happen situation, it’s very likely BBC doesn’t keep that information on hand, and likely has to go source that.
I doubt the soldiers put out a press release as the first thing they did detailing the ideological differences, and more focused on consolidating power right now.
This should give you some idea:
Niger President Mohamed Bazoum has been held by troops from the presidential guard since early on Wednesday. … Mr Bazoum is a key Western ally in the fight against Islamist militancy in West Africa.
Oh great, more religious zealots. Organized religion was a mistake.
right there is no explanation at all
There is no conjecture or supposition ftfy
BBC has to wait until they have facts
They should have delayed reporting
Anyone want to take bets on whether Wagner is involved?
5th largest exporter of Uranium, huh?
The root cause of this is Islamic jihadism sprawling out of control across the Sahel. it’s causing a ton of instability and governments are struggling to withstand it.
The cause for internal conflict? Absolutely The cause of international interest? Absolutely not
It’s the reason Wagner is in the region to begin with, and why Western militaries have a presence in the region. Definitely plays an important role in international interest as well.
Islam is by itself jihad.
Guess the revolution WILL be televised.
Whew, had to do a triple-take on that post title lmao.

You can just say you’re black, right?
That sentence demanded reading comprehension XD
And the category is “Soldiers who annoy you”.
I’m sorry, the answer was “Naggers”.
I’m stoned as all fuck and read “ninja soldiers” several times >_> I was trying to figure out the joke. I’m going to hell.
Better than my initial read so… yeah.
