Like, whatever, man. Foiled coup is foiled. Anyone know who was backing the instigators? America? Russia?
Well it's a .ru domain so that site is russian and there is this bit

My money's on Occupied Turtle Island. They murdered Gaddafi and destroyed Libya so Libyan oil couldn't bankroll a Pan-African bank and currency. They've been turning the entire continent of Africa into a drone base, with exception of Burkina Faso, Mali, and now Niger. No doubt, they're trying to tighten AFRICOM's grip on the region to prevent ECOWAS's project from taking root and blooming.
I'd bet on France. Russia has no interest in removing Traoré as he's pretty open towards cooperation among two countries. Here's part of his speech on Russia-Africa summit last year: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8J5mK7JKMY
