French state-owned nuclear energy company Orano said on Friday it opposed Niger’s planned nationalization of the Somair uranium mine operated by the company.

Niger said late on Thursday it planned to nationalize the Somair mine after months of worsening relations between the French state-owned company and its local partners following a 2023 coup in the West African nation.
