La France paralysée réagit à la suspension de livraison d'uranium par le Niger.

Allo Trends World

Cette décision soulève des questions importantes sur l'impact de l'exploitation minière sur les communautés locales et l'environnement, ainsi que sur la dépendance de la France à l'égard de l'uranium étranger pour sa production d'électricité. Le Niger représente environ 70% des exportations du pays, et l'arrêt des exportations vers la France pourrait avoir un impact significatif sur l'économie du pays. L'impact environnemental de l'exploitation minière au Niger est également une préoccupation croissante, et les communautés locales s'opposent de plus en plus à l'exploitation minière. Les entreprises étrangères qui exploitent les ressources naturelles du Niger sont également soumises à des exigences en matière de responsabilité sociale et environnementale. #Niger #France #uranium #or #exportation #énergie #politique #rebelles #militaires #président #couvre_feu #économie #environnement #responsabilité #sociale #communautés #entreprises #exploitationminière #UnionEuropéenne #électricité #frt  ________________________________________       '     .

00:09 While the new Niger authorities have announced the ban

00:12 on all gold and uranium exports to France,

00:15 Paris reacted by saying that this decision

00:17 would have no impact on the energy sector in France.

00:20 An announcement that raised a lot of questions

00:23 about the implications of this decision.

00:25 Niger, the 7th largest producer of uranium in the world,

00:29 is a strategic country in the production of uranium

00:32 used in French nuclear power plants.

00:34 According to French media,

00:36 Niger provides 15% to 17% of the uranium

00:39 used by nuclear power plants in France.

00:42 The decision of the new Nigerian authorities

00:44 to ban the export of uranium and gold

00:46 has therefore aroused concerns

00:48 about the supply of energy to France.

00:51 However, the French Diplomacy Press Service

00:54 has indicated that no French company

00:56 exploits gold mines in Niger

00:58 and that the uranium supplies in France

01:00 are extremely diversified.

01:02 Niger only represents 4% of the world's uranium production,

01:06 which means that the decision of the new Nigerian authorities

01:09 will not have a major impact

01:11 on the energy supplies in France.

01:13 This decision to ban the export of gold and uranium from Niger

01:17 comes after the military coup in Niger in February 2021

01:20 which overthrew President Elhuma Hamadou Issoufou.

01:23 The new Nigerian authorities

01:25 made this decision to put an end to what they consider

01:28 as unfair exploitation of the country's natural resources

01:31 by foreign companies.

01:33 Local communities have long denounced

01:36 the environmental and social impact

01:38 of mining exploitation in the country.

01:40 They claim that foreign companies

01:42 have taken advantage of political instability

01:44 and widespread corruption to exploit

01:46 the country's natural resources without taking into account

01:48 the long-term consequences for local communities

01:50 and the environment.

01:52 The Nigerian government has therefore decided

01:54 to take measures to reduce the impact

01:56 of mining exploitation on local communities

01:58 and the environment.

02:00 The ban on exporting gold and uranium

02:02 is one of these measures.

02:04 Other measures include the revision of mining contracts

02:06 with foreign companies to ensure

02:08 that local communities benefit

02:10 more from mining exploitation

02:12 and that companies respect environmental standards.

02:15 The Nigerian government's decision

02:17 was saluted by environmental activists

02:19 and civil society organizations

02:21 who have long denounced the negative impact

02:23 of mining exploitation on local communities

02:25 and the environment.

02:27 However, foreign companies

02:29 that exploit Niger's natural resources

02:31 have expressed their concerns

02:33 about the impact of this decision

02:35 on their activities.
