Abstract:

A number of foreign companies, including Russia's Rosatom, are becoming increasingly interested in the uranium deposits and stocks in Niger, which the French company Orano lost access to as a consequence of the 2023 coup. It is not certain, however, whether the military authorities of Niger will be willing to cede control of them to Russia. The requisitions, apart from the populist aspect, are part of a changing approach to resource management, one modelled on Mali, which increased the state's share of foreign investment and budget revenues, to which Western industry will be forced to adapt.
