Claude IkangaSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
That is why, uh, the Comrade President of the Republic of Niger, Abdourahmane Tchiani, took care when the offensive took place from August 28th to 29th to secure among the most important institutions the national television.
Claude IkangaSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Because he knew that the small cast of utter thugs who had been sent by you-know-who to overthrow the power in Niamey had planned to use the media, to use communication, the national television, the public service to propagate and convey their ideology.
Claude IkangaSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
That is the casus belli.
Claude IkangaSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
We are here for the interests of the imperialists, but obviously we have to embellish the narrative, we have to give it a pleasant dressing and thus make it accepted by the population.

In
Qiao ShihuiSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
the capital Niamey, I was responsible for about 40 beds, and they were almost always full.
Qiao ShihuiSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Afterwards round, I saw outpatients and dispensed the medicine myself.
Qiao ShihuiSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
There could be 50 to 100 patients a day, sometimes even more.
Qiao ShihuiSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
At first, I performed the examinations, then I watched them do the procedures, and afterward, I checked again in case they had missed anything.
Qiao ShihuiSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Over about a year and a half, we established gastroscopy, colonoscopy, and electrocardiography services.

and whom we speak to when we try to prevent and manage also conflict and stabilization.
Antje HerrbergHOST
So are we talking to the right people? And the article begins on a terrace in Niamey, the capital of Niger.

Antje HerrbergHOST
I returned finally to that evening in Niamey, where we had this beautiful moment of different representatives standing on that terrace.
Jornice Gaddy AlausoGUEST
And this is, I think, a lesson that we have to draw from the AES.
Jornice Gaddy AlausoGUEST
Because as much as they are following in the earlier footsteps of the Pan-Africanists, It was the expulsion of French forces from Niamey.
Jornice Gaddy AlausoGUEST
I was in Niamey in 2024.
Jornice Gaddy AlausoGUEST
And I was shown where it is that many women and young people camped for four months.
Jornice Gaddy AlausoGUEST
They stood outside the French barracks and demanded that the French leave.
Viviane BautersGUEST
At that time, well, Africa was really underdeveloped.
Viviane BautersGUEST
And they didn't send me to Niamey, which is the capital.
Viviane BautersGUEST
They sent me to Ngigmi.
Viviane BautersGUEST
And Ngigmi at that time was the city, the town at the border, the border of Lake Chad, because there was still water in the Lake Chad, which was on the Let's say the frontier between Niger, Nigeria, and Chad.
Viviane BautersGUEST
Gikwi was more than two days' drive from Niamey.
Viviane BautersGUEST
