Niger uranium hits international market
Niger's military regime on Sunday announced it was putting uranium produced by Somair -- a subsidiary of French giant Orana before the regime nationalised it in June -- on the international market. Uranium mining in Niger is at the centre of a standoff between the junta that took power in 2023 and Orano, which is 90-percent owned by the French government and has operated mines in Niger for decades.
