Description
Summary:The analysis of the post-colonial history of Niger has made it possible to single out two national separatist revolutionary episodes and two Islamist ones, along with one revolution analogue (which can be considered as part of the Fifth revolutionary wave of the twentieth century) and one “coupvolution” (2009–2010). The latter is a rather specific type of revolutionary process when the revolutionary mass mobilization in the first phase of the revolutionary process is accompanied by a military coup in the second phase; during the latter, many of the demands of the participants of the first phase of the evolutionary process are fulfilled. In addition, the quasi-revolutionary episode (with a pronounced influence of the center-peripheral dissonance effect) of February 2021 and the military coup attempt of March 2021 are analyzed as indicators of the possibility of new coup-volutionary and other destabilizing events. Finally, against this background, authors analyze the 2023 coup in Niger.
