Our party has spoken out against supporting a war in Niger and has expressed support for whoever is in charge right now.

Unsurprisingly, the BUT PUTIN NIGER WAGNER IMPERIALISM comments quickly found their way towards the posts.

The media makes it out to be of great importance that our allies and the West intervene in Niger, when two weeks ago most people couldn’t locate Niger on a map if their life depended on it.

So, how important does your media think Niger is?

    In Sweden it is cast as a Russian/Wagner takeover snce we’re unable to comprehend anything outside of an colonial framework, instead of a struggle for self determination. That being said any counter narrative is portrayed as pro Russian propaganda being spread on pro Russian social media. Nothing is said about the French colonial bullshit, the unfair and exremely exploitative extraction of natural reaources, or even any attempt to correctly historically contextualize the “coup”.
