flag Niger plans to sell uranium globally after nationalizing French-owned mines and cutting ties with France.

flag Niger’s military junta announced it will sell uranium from the state-owned Somair mine on the global market, asserting sovereignty over its resources after nationalizing French-owned operations in 2024. flag The move follows severed ties with France, accused of backing separatists, and growing alignment with Russia, which has shown interest in mining. flag Despite Orano, a French state-linked company, retaining a 60% stake and ongoing arbitration, Niger aims to control its uranium exports, a key energy resource that supplied about a quarter of Europe’s needs in 2022.
