@ugomavlog1: BREAKING NEWS: “Niger’s uranium is becoming a major geopolitical prize — and Romania has made its move.” Niger’s uranium industry is entering a major new chapter as Romania’s nuclear energy company, Nuclearelectrica, negotiates to acquire around 300 tonnes of uranium concentrate from a stockpile previously controlled by French company Orano. The development comes amid Niger’s escalating dispute with France and the nationalization of the Somaïr uranium mine, which was previously operated largely by Orano. If completed, the deal could mark a significant shift in Niger’s uranium trade, opening the door to a new European buyer while reducing France’s traditional influence over one of Niger’s most strategic resources. But with more than 1,000 tonnes of uranium reportedly stored in Niamey and legal and political disputes surrounding the stockpile, the situation could have major geopolitical implications for Niger, France, Romania and Europe. Who will ultimately control Niger’s uranium wealth? #Niger #Uranium #Romania #France #Nuclearelectrica
