Description: | This claim, made by propagandists citing African media, is false – mainly because Defence Minister Rustem Umerov did not visit Niger in November 2023. Moreover, by the end of 2024, the French company Orano had lost control of uranium mining in Niger, and the country’s main uranium buyers are now Russia and China. |
