I know enough about the history of colonization & exploitation of Africa, and Nuland, to get why Niger officials shun the US and bring her into it. To me, as an observer, and catching odd bits of info from the net, it seem that the situation in Niger is not quite as simple as it is portrayed. From what I understand, their top military echelons were trained in the US. The US is keen to get France out of Africa. I posted the link elsewhere on TLN. And this is not just Niger, it's also applicable to a number of Francophone Sahel countries. It’s the way they choose to do it that bothers me. Of all the things they could have used, they choose her body. In my view it could have been a man that was the US rep in Niger, and if the same thing was said about him, nobody would have batted an eye, but an observer would have understood it was an insult. Personally, I don't think it was misogyny in this case. I don’t expect you to understand .. If you say so.
