Niger Exposes France & Ukraine Backing Terrorism at UN

Speaking before the 2026 United Nations General Assembly, Niger’s Prime Minister Ali Lamine Zeine delivered a powerful defense of his country’s sovereignty and called out France and Ukraine for supporting terrorists seeking to destabilize Niger and the Alliance of Sahel States (AES).

He pointed out that France and Ukraine have provided intelligence, training, financing and equipment to terrorists as a part of a plot by the old colonial power to maintain control over natural resources and crush the independence of African people. Niger, along with Burkina Faso and Mali, have aligned with Russia and China and are engaging in vast economic development projects to raise up their people. WATCH!
