Niger Coup: Prigozhin Accuses West, Soldiers Declare General as Head of State
Yevgeny Prigozhin, leader of the Wagner Group, has expressed support for the ongoing coup in Niger, accusing Western powers of colonizing African nations and fostering terrorism to maintain control. Prigozhin offered his services to the rebels, claiming that his private military company, Wagner, could establish order and combat terrorists. This comes after Prigozhin's failed coup attempt in Russia and his plans to expand into Africa.
