Niger has revoked the operating licence of French nuclear fuel producer Orano at one of the world's biggest uranium mines, the company said Thursday, in a move that highlighted tensions between France…
Considering the fact that uranium prices have been shooting up for the past year, the fact that this mine has been sitting idle until last week was seen by Niger as an indicator that the French were snubbing Nigerien uranium (that could have generated jobs, tax revenues, etc.).

Good move by Niger imo
