America’s Negotiation with Niger, Disguised as Threats
A delegation from America went to Niger. They went there to negotiate with the Niger government. This negotiation from the Americans was claimed to be in the form of a threat from the Americans. The Niger Government still maintained its stance, that the Americans should leave the country. They are no longer welcome. One general said the repercussion could be drastic if the Niger government refuse to allow the Americans to remain in Niger.
The question is this. By repercussion, does the general mean that there will be more terrorist attack in Niger. Due to the absence of the Americans. Or are there going to be more problems for Niger. Problems such are an orchestrated regime change by the Americans.
