Russia has warned that military intervention in Niger would lead to a "protracted confrontation" after regional bloc Ecowas said it would assemble a standby force.

Such an intervention would destabilise the Sahel region as a whole, the Russian foreign ministry said.

Russia does not formally back the coup.

But the US, which backs efforts to restore deposed leader Mohamed Bazoum, says its Wagner mercenary group is taking advantage of the instability.

On Friday coup ers, some waving Russian flags, protested at a French military base near the capital NIamey, some chanting "down with , down with Ecowas".

Both and the US operate military bases in Niger and they have been used to launch operations against jihadist groups in the wider region.

Military officials from Ecowas countries are reportedly set to meet on Saturday to draft plans for a military intervention.

The bloc has said it remains open to finding a diplomatic solution to the crisis, but Nigeria's President Bola Tinubu said on Thursday that "No option is taken off the table, including the use of force as a last resort".

The US has not explicitly backed military action but has called on the junta to step aside and allow the restoration of the country's democratic constitution.

The Niger junta has not responded to the latest statements from Ecowas leaders.

ECOWAS shouldn't fire a shot in Niger. We need Africa solutiosn to Africa problems. No more bloodshed instigated by the West.

🤣🤣🤣🤣


Same Russia that is still struggling in Ukraine 🤣🤣🤣

Putin should be thinking of how to revive the Ruble as it keeps tanking against the dollar! Economy in ruins, and still wants to delve into issues that’s none of his business!

It’s good at some point! May be that will finally nail his coffin and make Russians revolt!

Struggling in Ukraine ?

You watch too much western propaganda western news…

If Putin wants to blow up the entire Ukraine in one day he can surely do it …

You don’t know they were USSR before ? It’s like killing his own people if he decides to use brute force…

It would have been different if Putin was fighting against some western or Asian countries …

I am just hearing this for the first time

Stop giving excuses for failure!

We are not in a war on two fronts
We have western !

It’s not expensive to go into war with Niger cos we share land boarders and Niger has small and incompetent military.

No country is small and can easily be defeated in a war because there will be an ally, Now I'm beginning to believe the next proxy war between Russia and western/USA will be fought in west Africa if our leaders are not careful and this will destabilized the west Africa and most Africa countries.

The issue is rubble tanking and I reminded you that the naira is tanking also. Which is a fact. If you can advice Puttin based on that I think also our inec president need that advice too based on tanking economy/currency.

Every war is expensive, I don't know who is telling contrary.

Abi nah.

Despite Wagner mercenaries in Mali, Jihadists and terrorists have taken over half of Mali. I wonder which Sahel country is next. Most likely Niger republic.

This same scenario will play out in Niger if at all this war will start. It is very unlikely that the northern soldiers which are probably from Niger will be killing their kits and kin in Niger. They will sabotage the Nigerian military. We need to be careful.

Russia cannot go into war again! The economy is tired and already stretched. The West is very flexible as it is a combo of powerful nations.

That was the foolishness that befell Putin, thinking he could wage a war on a combination of economically strong nation. How far can he go? Same mistake Hitler made!

What exactly will Nigeria gain by going to war with Niger republic?

Obidient Russia on the beat. Oya Obidients come and start dancing Surugede oo. ECOWAS will hit Niger hard and Nothing you guys (Obidients) can do

Nothing!!, only more troubles and more economic problems. There are usually two sides to a conflict and no matter who
strikes first, eventually both sides are wounded.

Bro you know wetin dey tire person ?

WETIN CONCERN US WITH NIGER NI? WE GET TOO MANY PROBLEMS HERE OF OUR OWN WEN GO TAKE US YEARS TO FIX, BUT OUR OGA DEM ARE FOCUSING ON NIGER ? All because they are afraid a coup will happen here . What they don't realize is good leadership doesn't fear coup . It is only when you are corrupt and stealing then you should fear a coup.

It just fills one with total disappointment ni. Shows how insincere our leaders are

This is not about Russia or western country, this is about destabilizing the west African region because if their own gain, when ever this people show interest, something should tell us they are in for some game, first and second quarter was bad for Russia but they made growth economically and are advancing to kharkiv region in Ukraine as we speak. There is no air defense in the whole west Africa yet we are clamoring for war. Did you know that zelensky just fired all the head military, accusing them of corrupt.

Nigeria has an interest to protect also. We have a gas pipeline Harding to Europe and Russia cannot be using Niger has a blockade!

War is not new to humanity, it has always been that way and will continue to be that way. Let’s teach Niger a lesson.

Why should they use nuke you in small country? Russia hasn't captured half of the territory

What we stand to loose overweight what we stand to gain and more over, we can't even refined our oil, Any country that want to grow first start with it's inter affair, solving it. We still have a long way to go not war. No one knows the impact it will cause to most of us.

Failure ?

Putin has 4 Ukrainian territories captured already… and annexed to Russia.

That’s 30% of Ukraine gone since the war started…

Stop watching CNN bro

It’s like watching NTA and expecting to get anything but goodnews from the Nigerian government.

I don't Russia but believe me, Russia is not struggling with Ukraine. That's exactly how it wanted the rift to look like. Ukraine is no match for Russia at all, chief.

Tinubu's should retract his steps

Very gooooood!
Enter China!😎

Tilibu used as a puppet to do the bidding of the west

The north voted massively for him and they are going to be his first casualty of poor decision making

What was the use of the so called Muslim Muslim ticket

Niger and Nigeria would be the new Ukraine and Libya

Finally no wonder those zombie west African countries are backing out of their military invasion. Democracy has lost the trust of the people. #SAYNOTODEMOCRACY

There will be no war but the military will not step down. I see d same happening in other countries including our neighbors.
