Niger's military government has survived a serious internal challenge after soldiers staged a mutiny in the capital, Niamey.

The uprising involved fighting around strategic locations, including a military base and areas near the presidential complex. Russia's Africa Corps reportedly assisted Niger's authorities in suppressing the mutiny.

The episode is significant because Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso have increasingly turned away from traditional Western security partnerships and towards Russia.

The uncomfortable question

Does reliance on Russia strengthen these governments' independence—or simply replace one external security relationship with another?

That debate is likely to continue.
