Foreign Policy
Niger's post-coup foreign policy mirrors the broader Sahelian pivot. The junta has severed the French and American military partnerships that had made Niger a hub for Western counterterrorism operations in the Sahel. It has turned toward Russia for military support and joined the Alliance of Sahel States.
Niger's uranium and oil resources give it some economic leverage despite extreme poverty. The junta has sought to renegotiate resource extraction contracts to retain more revenue domestically.
