France Earned Billions From Niger’s Uranium While Niger Received a Fraction in Return
France reportedly generated an estimated $74 billion from electricity exports produced using uranium sourced from Niger, highlighting a stark imbalance in the long standing resource relationship between the two countries.

Despite Niger being one of the world’s key uranium suppliers, the country is said to have received only about €100 million in return from France, a figure many critics describe as disproportionately low compared to the value extracted.
