Nu izskatās, ka Francijai, lai tiktu galā Nigeru ir Nigērija, kurai uzbrūk Islama teroristi.

What troops does ECOWAS have available?
An intervention in Niger would rely heavily on Nigeria, which has 223,000 personnel as well as modern fighter jets and armed helicopters.
Not only does Nigeria have the largest army in the region, experts say it makes logistical sense to rely on Nigeria, which shares a 1,600 kilometer (1,000 mile) long border with Niger.
Senegal said on Thursday that it would participate if ECOWAS decides to intervene militarily in Niger. The country's Foreign Minister Aissata Tall Sall told journalists in the capital Dakar that "Senegalese soldiers have to go. these coups d'etat must be stopped," she said.
Several other ECOWAS member states, however, already stated that they would not support the use of force in Niger.
"Aside from our Nigerian neighbor, I don't think there's another force because Mauritania doesn't agree, Algeria doesn't agree, Mali and Burkina don't agree either. And Benin isn't going to attack [Niger]," said Abdoul Moumouni Abass, an expert in the prevention of radicalization.
However, analyst Eguegu pointed out that Nigeria's army is "bogged down at home" fighting the militant Islamist movement Boko Haram and armed bandits, running operations in 30 of Nigeria's 36 states. 
This presents a major challenge for Nigerian forces to assemble their true power for such an intervention, he said.
