Western governments have demonized the coup in Niger and threatened intervention, but polls show that 78% of Nigeriens support the military government's anti-colonial policies. France is extremely unpopular due to its neocolonial practices, whereas Russia is widely seen as an ally. The new nationalist junta pledges to pursue true independence and sovereignty.
