Niger's PM Accuses France and Ukraine of Sahel Plot at UN

Original: Niger's PM Accuses France and Ukraine of Sahel Destabilization Plot at UN

Niger's Prime Minister told the UN General Assembly that France and Ukraine are working to destabilize the Sahel region. The accusation escalates an already tense standoff between Niger's military-led government and Western powers following the 2023 coup, and reflects growing alliances with Russia as former French influence in the region wanes.

Why now: The public accusation at the UN marks a sharp diplomatic escalation that draws attention to shifting power dynamics in the Sahel.
