I’m not certain that the USA would obviously support France. Who can blame France for wanting to hold on to Niger, Mali, Gabon and all their other “territories” in Africa. For France to cede these “territories” would be the equivalent of a human being donating their heart, kidney and lungs whilst still having a pulse. France will always remain an economic power whilst it has a presence in Africa. Should France depart from Africa, you would see her economy tank. It would become nothing more than a second/third class economy.
The armies of both France and the USA are supposed to be defending these countries against Muslim militants. They appear to be doing a terrible job and we all know why.
France has lost the PR battle. It cannot justify removing Gabon’s coup leader. France presence in Gabon is simply to exploit the wealth of that country. The whole world knows this. I would advice President Macron to collaborate with the coup leader to ensure that the people of Gabon and the country itself develops a strong infrastructure. Macron should be told that half-a-loaf; is better than no loaf at all!
Should France and the USA get their way, expect to see China, Russia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and all the other wannabees expanding their influence in Africa.
The presence of USA army bases throughout Africa is untenable. What will it take for them to repatriate these bases back to America?

It is not so simple in Niger. French forces have been instrumental in preventing warring factions. It is a two edged sword.

The following excerpt was taken from VOA News:
‘US Threatens to Pull All Aid for Niger,’ written by Jeff Seldin
Last updated on: July 29, 2023 9:15 PM
“The United States is warning mutineers who have seized control of Niger that U.S. support for the Western African nation will dry up unless President Mohamed Bazoum is released and returned to power.”
“The threat Saturday by Secretary of State Antony Blinken to pull hundreds of millions of dollars in aid followed Friday’s announcement by General Abdourahamane Tchiani, the head of the presidential guard, that he is Niger’s new leader.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~If that isn’t ‘support,’ then I’ll admit not knowing its meaning.
And, please note, I was CAREFUL to ‘say’ the US would render its support, CAUTIOUSLY.
