Italy warns Western military intervention in Niger

Italy warns Western military intervention in Niger would be seen as 'colonization'

Italy's foreign minister has warned against any military intervention by the West in Niger against the newly-formed junta in the African country, saying this would be seen as "new colonization."

This comes after the United States of Africa warned ECOWAS that any foreign invasion could destabilize West African Region for decades to come 

It's clear that the West has been piling pressure on ECOWAS to lead them in invading Niger to protect their neocolonial interests in Niger resources.

“I think we must put pressure on democracy to be restored, but any Western military initiative should be excluded because it would be seen as a new colonization,” Antonio Tajani told RaiNews on Wednesday.
