West Africa: Niger Oil for China Blocked Amid Border Dispute with Benin | Firstpost Africa

West Africa: Niger Oil for China Blocked Amid Border Dispute with Benin | Firstpost Africa
In West Africa, neighbours Benin and Niger are at loggerheads over a border feud. China's first shipment of crude from Niger was blocked due to the ongoing crisis between the two African neighbours. Benin is preventing Niger from using its port to export its first crude oil. Benin is demanding that landlocked Niger re-open its border if it wants to use Benin's port to export crude. Benin says Niger is treating it like an enemy and is not cooperating to restore ties or normalise trade. ECOWAS, which also includes Benin as a member, levied sanctions against Niger's junta last year. So Niger closed its borders. But over time, Benin softened its stance, opened its border with Niger and began exporting staples. Junta-led Niger however refused to open its side of the border. Watch this video for details.

    Or the country wants Niger to open its borders for trade. Why should Niger use Benins port but then block Benin exports to their country.

    Nope. You cannot block trade and expect your pipeline to run through their country: that is 100% stupidity. A land locked country must integrate with its neighbours if it wants access to the coast. It’s called bilateral relations. If Niger doesn’t want it then it has no rights to expect to send its oil through Benin. Niger also blocked access to Nigeria’s pipelines through its country because it wasn’t happy about something. It works both ways and must be ironed out in a discussion of leaders or it can fly its oil out of its country and avoid ECOWAS territories. Africa will unite, our incompetent leaders will all be removed eventually, while we support Niger’s freedom as that is what we all want for ourselves, we will not support its isolation indefinitely. One way or another when there are no evil Caucasian over lords controlling west Africa it will return to the fold after a negotiation. For now we respect its positions. If it wants its back scratched, it must scratch that of others. Benin is not saying Nigeria asked her to block it for France. Benin is saying open trade relations for your trade to come through our lands as we need each other. Niger is saying we don’t need you. Then it should forget about oil exploration. It’s land locked. That alone can limit its destiny, it needs is sinking in the coast to survive: if it’s too stupid to see that then it should return the Chinese claim or face Chinese debt trap. If you guys have ever seen a pipeline built before you will need basic knowledge of the type of destruction that goes through land and ecosystems and a possible displacement of people and the violation of their sacred places just for the ground to be used for the purpose of the pipeline passing through. It might pass through roads, villages, city streets and centres then conditions will then apply to those roads and affect the people who live there. In some places the pipes will be exposed and buried in most. All that for Niger and their country gets nothing in return? Do you have the intelligence to understand how many miles that pipe will go through? Land state laws will be used to impose on the people of Benin and for what?To please an unreasonable bunch of soldiers using emotions instead of basic common sense to govern? If you are ignorant about these issues learn and educate yourselves. Study pipelines in places like Nigeria from the Niger delta to Lagos and to Kaduna. View issues arising from it within one nation alone let alone two. Only for China to enjoy the benefits? Sherpa will also need a port or loading area for these oil and a Benin navy to police those waters from theft of oil like happens in Nigeria where 1/3 of the oil produced everyday is stolen free by the West and even dime stolen by Ghanaians to Ghana. I don’t think that Benin understands what it is getting itself into and are prepared for it. Some roads remain undeveloped in Lagos 40 years after a pipeline passed through them and in other parts of Nigeria and they get worse and unusable over time and no one cares. They only care about the oil revenue. Can those citizens complain to Niger or Benin in 30 years time? Or you imagine African leaders will become competent enough to look after the people, how many roads have Niger built since the soldiers too over? It’s not that easy either. It rages to me r and resources they don’t have. You are left behind with no access to modern road passing over that pipeline if you are in Benin in a hot climate if you live there. In Lagos I was born on the Island and city folk don’t care about rural folks. They wave fuel and energy. They post for it. Rural folks can suffer. It’s called selfishness. It will happen in Benin too. You need to travel to see how decisions impact the lives of ordinary people. That will happen in Benin too. They already have hardship because a few idiots don’t want trade and they want own trade passing under your feet as an inconvenience to you? Why will you not dig it up and blow it up after 10 years? But if you understand your sacrifices is for the greater good you ignore it. Niger is very young in this game with zero chance experience. It must be brought to the table and educated about how the word of development works. Or it can depend on other resources and remain land locked. No African nation must be allowed to remain an island indefinitely. Benin has made the right choice. I support Benin’s position just as I supported Niger for blocking Nigerian oil pipeline to Morocco despite knowing how much money it costs my country and I come from Nigeria’s oil producing Niger delta region. Africa will not benefit from Nigerian oil to the west. That was why I supported Niger. Benin must at least maintain an open border with Niger. I understand how open borders are important to Benin’s survival: I went there a lot in my teenage years to shop.

For those criticising Benin’s position in blind loyalty to Niger’s revolution. If you are ignorant about these issues learn and educate yourselves. Study pipelines in places like Nigeria from the Niger delta to Lagos and to Kaduna. View issues arising from it within one nation alone let alone two. Only for China to enjoy the benefits? China will also need a port or loading area on the Atlantic Ocean coastline or rural rainforests leading to the ocean deep enough to hold super tankers berth for pumping the oil. No Chinese warships in west African waters for trade. Benin needs a navy to police those waters from theft of oil like happens in Nigeria where 1/3 of the oil produced everyday is stolen free by the West and even some stolen by Ghanaians to Ghana. Nigeria can sell made in Nigeria naval gun boats at a cheaper price to Benin. I don’t think that Benin understands what it is getting itself into and are prepared for it. Some roads remain undeveloped in Lagos 40 years after a pipeline passed through them and in other parts of Nigeria and they get worse and unusable over time and no one cares. They only care about the oil revenue. Can those citizens complain to Niger or Benin in 30 years time? Or you imagine African leaders will become competent enough to look after the people, how many roads have Niger built since the soldiers took over? It’s not that easy either. It requires money and financial resources they don’t have. You are left behind with no access to modern road passing over that pipeline if you are in Benin in a hot climate if you live there. In Lagos I was born on the Island and city folk don’t care about rural folks. They need fuel and energy. They pay for it. Rural folks can suffer. It’s called selfishness. It will happen in Benin too.

They already have hardship because a few idiots don’t want trade and they want their own trade passing under your feet as an inconvenience to you? Why will you not dig it up and blow it up after 10 years if you are a patriotic Benin citizen? But if you understand your sacrifices is for the greater good you ignore it. Niger is very young in this game with zero experience. It must be brought to the table and educated about how the world of development works. Or it can depend on other resources and remain land locked. No African nation must be allowed to remain an island indefinitely. Benin has made the right choice. I support Benin’s position just as I supported Niger for blocking Nigerian oil pipeline to Morocco despite knowing how much money it costs my country and I come from Nigeria’s oil producing Niger delta region. Africa will not benefit from Nigerian oil to the west in pipelines designed to avoid supplying African nations. It must never be built, let the West loose their investment out of their economic racist policies and greedy selfishness hosting on wickedness for a change. That was why I supported Niger as a Pan African. Benin must at least maintain an open border with Niger. I understand how open borders are important to Benin’s survival: I went there a lot in my teenage years and I my university years to shop. Beautiful little country.

    *The people of the Africa have been "divided and ruled" over by outsiders for centuries.* Because it is easier to divide people based on personal differences, than it is to unite them, based on what they have in common. Strategically ambiguous rulers make use of this, for own advantages. In the era of empires, first Rome/Constantinople in North Africa, then during the era of Western imperialism the seat of POWER playing these games changed to the USA/Europe, then after the 1950's as European colonialism's power decreased, Africa was the "playground" during the Cold War. Moscow was taking on the role of arming the resistance. *Now the intention is simply to avoid unity in Africa and the ME, in order to "rule" over the dissent which is classical "divide and rule".* Today, all African dissenters, including some of Africa's own greedy corrupt leaders, are ALL tools. Endless wars, constant dissent. Insert "levers" of lies, mistrust... Create favorites: favoratism... Point the finger, everywhere else... *Divide and Rule.* Oldest trick in the book... Who wields the POWER? Who has had (in all historical cases in Africa and the ME) the GEOGRAPHICAL ADVANTAGE of being able to "reach" all the other little "buck catchers" (tools, and other Roman-era style instruments of POWER), but could not be "reached" itself, because of a geographical-, technological-, organisational-, military-, strategic-, political advantage at any given point of a historical timeline?

    "Freedom of transit" or the "right of access to the sea for landlocked countries" refers to the principle that landlocked countries should have unimpeded access to and from the sea for the purpose of international trade and commerce. This principle recognizes the geographic disadvantage of countries that lack direct territorial access to the sea and aims to ensure that they are not unduly hindered in their ability to engage in maritime trade. Essentially, it entails that landlocked countries have the right to use the territory of neighboring transit states for transit purposes, including the passage of goods, persons, and cargo to and from the sea. This right is typically enshrined in international agreements and conventions, such as the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), which emphasize the importance of facilitating transit for landlocked countries through cooperation among states. The principle of freedom of transit is crucial for landlocked countries to overcome the logistical challenges posed by their geographical location and to fully participate in international trade and economic activities.

Moreover, transporting crude through the Sahara is hard, due to bad access routes and Islamic militants in northern Niger and northern Mali. This militant would seize crude and sell it at the black market, thereby creating funding to boost their fighting powers against the government!.. what niger should do is to open their borders to Benin, so that Benin would also open theirs!

    To those who are bashing Benin for that move I just don't know if they have a problem with understanding basic english or they have a poor sense of fair judgement. Niger was the first to block goods from Benin so the move was in retaliation. Maybe most of them just commented just by looking at the title of the news item without taking time to listen to the content of the news item.

    Sometimes I am baffled from when I go to the comment section. The pipeline infrastructure traverses the length of Benin Republic, and you hope to get your oil across and through their waters without settling your trade issues? France or no, get your pipelines elsewhere. You can fly them on cargo planes. And no, I don't support france.
