France LOSES Grip on Niger's Uranium as Power Shifts!
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
