India is now taking part in the Uranium exploitation in Niger. A new pact has been signed between the two countries.
India has just signed a contract with the Niger Government in Niamey to mine some of its Uranium in the North of the Country in the Tuareg area where the MNJ of the Tuareg and Berber has been fighting the Government over the ongoing discrimination of the Tuareg people and the destruction of their land.http://my.nowpublic.com/world/end-tuaregs-niger-chad-mali-and-cameroon-algeria-and-libya
India along with China, Canada, France and the USA are taking part in a never ending bid over the control of the Uranium mines and Oil fields in Niger, this to the detriment of the local populations.http://my.nowpublic.com/world/chinas-cnpc-now-building-mega-refineries-niger-and-chad
The war for the control of the world fossil fuels is well underway for some time now, and this on the back of the poorest and most helpless of all. The USA, Canada, China, Great Britain, The Netherlands, France and now India, are targeting all uranium, Oil, Gold, Iron, Silver, and Gas as well.http://www.hindu.com/2008/12/03/stories/2008120355471400.htm
The Indian Company Earth stone will invest $50 Million over the next 5 years in the new Uranium exploitation in Niger. The permit given to India is for 2000 scare Kilometre of Tuareg Land around Arlit. This is the heard of the Tuareg land in Niger and close to Agades the largest city in that area.http://www.ft.com/world
Further Niger will provide added security with its armed force and the purchase of new military equipment from the USA that do already provide the training of the Niger Army as well as Weapon supply and some mercenaries.http://my.nowpublic.com/world/uranium-next-energy-crisis-may-cripple-western-nations-and-it-has-all-ready-started
There seems to be no hope for the Tuaregs and other minorities of Niger any longer and with the latest attempt of the Government to change the constitution in order to remain in power it does not look good for the future of Human rights and freedom nor democracy.
This in large part thanks to the ever growing hunger for cheep fossil fuels by the powers of the World that seem to have not regards them self for Human rights nor justice in countries they exploit.http://my.nowpublic.com/world/democracy-under-fire-within-niger-demonstration
