Most people want wealth because it means they won’t need to think at how to survive the next month.

Nice try. Avoiding the question and distracting with colonialism. But Niger was not a colony anymore, and you provided no example of a military coup that ended well in recent africa history. You are also avoiding the very obvious Russian imperialism of this coup. When a protest shows more Russian flags than Nigerian ones, I hardly believe it’s going to be independent…

It’s now a military dictature. Which one of those went well in the last 50 years in Africa?

While I don’t endorse colonialism, I’m not quite sure they’ll get it better with Russia.
