VIDEO: Niger is Ready to Fight, Over 50,000 Mobilized to Defend the Country, Prigozhin

Niger is ready to fight. This is stated by Yevgeny Prigozhin, head of the Wagner private military company. There are queues at military recruitment centers in Niger. Men are enlisting in the army to defend the country in case of an ECOWAS invasion.

More than 50,000 people have joined Niger's popular militia. Due to the huge influx of recruits, authorities have been forced to temporarily suspend recruitment. “With all our calculations and expectations, we never thought we could mobilize so many people,” admitted representatives of the ‘Youth Mobilization for the Homeland’ organization.

“Africa must be liberated from colonial conditions. We fought for its independence in the last century. We lost in the Cold War, and the Black continent remained under Western bondage for decades. Living calmly, knowing that there are people nearby who oppress others, who feel like their ‘supermen’, is not good. And secondly, this is a matter for us. While American-European colonizers try to twist our arms, Africa has the opportunity to send the French back ten steps. The colonial regime will be defeated. We must finish our African affairs,” declared Wagner.

Meanwhile, oil exploration continues in Niger. Earlier, an Algerian company discovered oil fields in Niger's Al Qafra region. By early next year, the expected volume of oil production is projected to exceed 100,000 barrels per day, compared to the current 20,000. African Telegram channels report that by 2025, claims of reaching 200,000 barrels are realistic.
