⁣Welcome back to ABIBITUMI TV, your trusted source for unfiltered news and analysis on African affairs.
I'm your host, and today we are discussing on bold move that underscores Niger's determination and sovereignty , as Niger refused to renew Orano's mining license for the Imouraren mines in June 2024. But that was just the beginning. While Orano managed to retain control of the smaller Somair uranium mine, it has now lost operational control of this last stronghold to Niger's military administration. The tide has clearly turned against Orano, marking a series of significant setbacks for the French nuclear giant. This historic move not only shifts the balance of power in the nuclear energy industry but also signifies a bold step towards self-determination for Niger. But what does this mean for France, Africa, and the broader global energy landscape? Today, we dive into the details of this dramatic development and its far-reaching implications. This decisive move by Niger’s military government marks the culmination of a broader strategy to reclaim sovereignty over its natural resources. For decades, Niger has been a significant uranium supplier, particularly to France, where uranium fuels a substantial portion of its nuclear energy sector. Before the coup in Niger last year, the country provided 15–20% of France’s uranium needs. However, this era of dependency is now over. #captaineibrahimtraore #burkinafaso #capitaineibrahimtraoré #ibrahimtraoré

In Burkina Faso, there are reports that 200 soldiers have been killed in attacks by an Al Qaeda affiliate.
It happened in the northern province of Loroum. The attacks follow an earlier assault in which 60 soldiers were killed at a military post in the same province.
Nearly half of Burkina Faso is not under government control.
Attacks from armed groups linked to al Qaeda are on the rise, not only in Burkina Faso but other African countries in the Sahel.
