It was gathered that hours after signing a defense agreement with Niger Republic’s new military government, the head of Wagner PMC, Yevgeny Prigozhin express his view on the situation in Niger and the subregion. 

He said that he sees all these struggles as “liberating,” saying that France and the collective west are “thieves.” On the major problems that led to the coup in Niger, Prigozhin said, “I will answer what the basis for the change of power in Niger is. The basis is the economy. The population of Niger has been driven to poverty for a long time. For example, a French company that mines uranium sold it in the market for $218 while paying Niger only $11 out of every $218 for it.”

He further explained how France and the west are the problem, “You can work with investors on a 50-50 or 30-70% basis, but it is impossible to return to the natives of the country, who were born in this country, who live in this country and who expect that the natural resources of this country belong to them, and which according to the constitution belong to them, only 5% of the wealth you receive from their land.” he said,

 “To cover up these financial crimes, the country has been infiltrated by huge number of terrorists. This huge number of terrorists, in theory, should be controlled by a huge number of different troops, funded by the UN (United Nations), the European Union, the Americans, the British and others. As a result, the population of Niger, who should be free and happy because of the economic opportunities that existed, was robbed, and kept in fear for decades to keep them silent.”

“To show that these thieves and looters are necessary on the territory of the state, I mean the western countries like France, the USA and so on, they sent their crowds of soldiers who did nothing but receive big budgets which were also misused in various levels. That is why the transformation (coup) in Niger was simply necessary,” he added. Stressing further he said “The power that was in alliance with Bazoum (the ousted Nigerien president) and his followers, simply covered up, allowing the coalition of people who looted the nation to be present on Niger soil. That’s all. So this is a liberation struggle, a liberation movement for the independence of this country, and May God grant them success,” he concluded.

It should be noted that few days before the exclusive interview, Prigozhin had acknowledged that Wagner PMC fighters were all set to help the local government in Niger, and report has it that they’ve positioned themselves in multiple locations within the country and beyond. So far, Prigozhin is prepared and ready for business. It’s a fight for liberation, one which he is undoubtedly passionate about. It seems right now that it’s taken on a very dangerous dimension because all items will most definitely be on the table. This war should not be taken for granted, if it happens, it will definitely be the type which we cannot do without it. The wave of freedom is already in full force and is unstoppable.
