Niger drops French place names to honour local heroes
Niger drops French place names to honour local heroes
Cikk tartalma röviden
Niger's military leaders have renamed streets and monuments to sever ties with France, the former colonial power. Notable changes include Avenue Charles de Gaulle, now Avenue Djibo Bakary, honoring a key independence figure. The junta's spokesman emphasized the painful reminders of colonization in the country's street names. Following a coup that ousted President Mohamed Bazoum, Niger has sought military support from Russia, joining Mali and Burkina Faso in the Alliance of Sahel States. A ceremony in Niamey marked these changes, including a war memorial now honoring all victims of colonization.
