LIVE: US vs Russia vs France: Niger’s Uranium Triggers a Global Showdown | Firstpost Africa

Watch this video as Firstpost explores the escalating geopolitical showdown playing out in the Sahara, where a high-stakes battle for Niger's nuclear gold is redrawing the map of West Africa. Deep beneath the desert lies uranium—a resource powerful enough to dictate global politics, and for decades, the key to this treasure was held by France under Macron. But following a military takeover, the nationalization of the Somair mine, and the dramatic exit of Western troops, the landscape has completely fractured. In this report, we break down the aggressive return of the Trump administration through multi-million-dollar investments in the Dasa project, Vladimir Putin’s strategic entry via Rosatom, and Macron's fierce pushback amid legal battles and accusations of destabilization. As Niger navigates landlocked supply corridors through Algeria and fights for true resource sovereignty, we examine what this global scramble means for African independence. Alyson Le Grange brings you more on this story on Firstpost Africa.
