Do you have a source for this?
and an article here: https://www.lesechos.fr/finance-marches/marches-financiers/p...
Basically Niger already dropped a lot as a source worldwide due to production costs.
Areva even has a mine with permits to exploit in Imouraren which they don't actually exploit because uranium prices are so low that it's not economical to keep the mine opened.
There's been talks to shut down all the remaining mines even before the coup.
The prices paid by Areva were also increased by 50% during Hollande terms (https://www.latribune.fr/entreprises-finance/industrie/energ...) for political reasons and pushed the mines not too far from closing economically.
You don't necessarily get the same information elsewhere...
Go wonder...
Could do the same and post this:
https://www.i24news.tv/en/news/international/economy/1691490...
Additionally, I don't have any reason to think the medias I posted are biased either. It's not Russia
Also the margins that were made don't necessarily depends on the price of the contract on the markets.
The contract with the Nigerien government can be considered OTC.
So people claims that it was fair is disingenuous.
Then again it's a negotiation so the other party is at fault too.
The issue is when one of the other party decides what their counterpart will be in advance, make some arrangements etc. That's not fair and that's what the article also talks about.
But anyway... This is known even in French circles, they don't hide it at all. Just a shame to have such a short-term, outdated vision.
Just a little search would show you that it's not entirely true, not true anymore, or slightly twisted in the way you present it.
That's the whole problem, a lot of people peddle biased or straight false information.
Even if it isn't malicious in intent, perhaps because of ignorance, it's problematic.
Source of the fact that he's indeed the CEO: https://www.i24news.tv/en/executive-committee.
I mixed-up the news Channel owned by Altice (M6 doesn't belong to it), but it's still clearly an important player in French media: https://www.alticemedia-adsconnect.fr/nos-marques/
You're the one trying to muddy the water, first by implying that French media weren't reliable, and then trying again against my refutation.
Please, just stop. This is not a game.
Frank Melloul is French, and he formerly worked for the French government, and he was even active (at a low level) in French politics.
> And i24news is israeli.
Technically it's from Luxembourg[0] actually;).
> It's part of Altice as a buyout by the branch Altice USA...
I wasn't bought out, it was founded by French[1] billionaire Patrick Drahi in 2013.
This isn't a game, you're just flat out lying for gods knows why.
[0]: https://www.i24news.tv/fr/conditions-generales-d-utilisation
[1]: yes he has 5 different nationalities, but his familly arrived in France when he was a teen, studied in France, made a fortune in France, most of his empire are French companies, and so is his political network, so I'll count him as a fellow French, even if he also has the nationality from Saint Kitts and Nevis…
It's still israeli owned. Drahi is born in Africa. And he isn't a French national anymore apparently.
Anyway, regardless.
I apologize for the confusion, i24news is broadcast in the USA thanks to a serie of buyouts, from Altice NV to create Altice USA and then another recent acquisition (Cablevision) to acquire broadcasting licenses etc... The details can be found.
I don't dispute the fact that there are links to France (obviously) but the point remains that it's a more global media than what you linked.
I will note that if you want unbiased raw information, you should rather link afp as every true journalist would tell you.
i24news is registered in Luxembourg... Fair enough. I guess a company being registered in Ireland makes it Irish... Who really cares...
