    It’s “Nigerien”, and given that this decision was made by a unelected coup leader, I’d doubt you’d have much say in the matter as a Nigerien.

      Well yes, but a coup needs popular support. If France paid a fair price for the nigerien uranium, the coup could maybe have been avoided in the first place and the chance of it succeeding would have been lower.
