Don’t leave out the Belgians and Portuguese. The Brits got in on the action too.

So let the Nigers form up and go get reparations if they can. To the victors go the spoils. The media can cover the fight but they may get shot doing so too. Their choice, stand up or stfu with the bitching and moaning.

Meanwhile, Niger is actively defaulting on its international loans.

I forgive your ignorance since I understand you've never heard of Mansa Musa( ruled this region) pilgrimage to Mecca & the vast amounts of gold he brought. Ask the metallurgist in West Africa going back to the the 6th century b.c. Salt, Gum, copper, gold, timber,


In other words, just read a book or 2 & you won't have to ask ignorant arse questions like this.
