2. Elin: military coups in africa always feel like a script for a bad hollywood thriller
3. Talia: this is exactly what happens when you meddle in local affairs and think you can control everything
4. Liam: I'm not sure what to make of this situation - seems like there's still a lot of unease between Niger and France. Did they ever investigate the claims thoroughly?
5. Nina: This is what I don't get - if there's no evidence of French involvement, why are officials in both countries still at each other's throats?
6. Petrovfreya: i'm surprised they're still trying to spin this
7. Kiana: apparently that's not enough to clear the air between them yet
