i'm guessing that, normally, the french empire would empire its way back into uranium access on favorable terms; but given the news that renewables have starting overtaking nuclear power in france and kazakhstan overtaking african uranium sources, i wonder if they'll bother.

i'm betting that they will considering how badly they're losing their proxy wars with russia in nearly all the african parts of the french empire and all of provocative rhetoric that macron has been leveraging against russia; particularly regarding ukraine; so maybe in a year or 2 we'll be reading news articles of the old nigerian rebels suddenly overpowering the new nigerian government.

I think the difference today is that French has a far lesser chance of getting it's access back today than at any prior time in the last 500 years

agreed, but it's hard to image the french letting russia have this win.

Emotionally yes. Materially, I don't see how the French pull it off.

Nuclear energie is the first source of energies in France.
