Rally: Hands Off Niger! US and EU Imperialism Out of Africa!
August 26 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm CDT
Free
The U.S. and France are threatening military intervention on Niger to re-install their puppet, neo-colonial government. The recent coup, led by National Council for the Safeguard of the Homeland (CNSP), has been accompanied by a popular uprising, demanding the end of the French military presence and imperialist economic policies. Niger also hosts strategic U.S. military bases with around 1000 U.S. troops and a massive air base currently in development.
