why align with a country that cant even protect its own borders.

ironically, Australia is now doing a security alliance with France, we are one step dumber than the Africans.

The Sahel countries were previously French satrapies. Now they have contracted with Russia for defense and mining. Huge loss in tribute and raw materials for France.

The loss of uranium from Niger is prominent, as France’ power grid is highly nuclear.

yes, like everyone else they watched France/EU be scared of upsetting Russia and saw they had picked the wrong partner.
