Côte d’Ivoire Responds to Accusations from Niger’s Junta Leader

As a proud citizen of Côte d’Ivoire, I am appalled by the reckless allegations made by General Abdourahamane Tchiani, the junta leader in Niger, against our armed forces. In his recent interview on Niger’s state television, he accused the Ivorian military of training Nigerien dissidents to destabilize his regime. These claims are not only unfounded but also an insult to the professionalism and dedication of our forces.

Let me be clear: the Ivorian Armed Forces have no time for such games. They are fully focused on defending our nation and maintaining its security. Côte d’Ivoire has proven itself to be a bastion of stability in the region, with no terrorist attacks recorded in recent years. Meanwhile, Niger continues to struggle with internal security issues, a task General Tchiani seems more interested in avoiding than addressing.

The statement from General Lassina Doumbia, our Chief of Staff, could not have been more precise. It rejects Tchiani’s allegations as baseless and urges him to focus on his real mission: securing Niger and its people. Our armed forces have a long-standing tradition of cooperating with neighboring countries for the sake of regional peace. These accusations are not just baseless; they are a blatant attempt to deflect attention from Niger’s dire situation.

The reality is that Tchiani’s junta is losing credibility. Instead of working towards stability and governance, he chooses to hurl baseless accusations at a neighboring country. This tactic is not only irresponsible but also dangerous, as it risks undermining the unity needed to address the security challenges our region faces.

Côte d’Ivoire will not be dragged into such petty distractions. Our military will continue its mission of protecting our borders and contributing to regional stability. As a citizen, I take pride in our nation’s focus and resilience, and I stand firmly behind the clear and direct response from General Doumbia.

General Tchiani would do well to stop pointing fingers and start addressing the real problems facing his country. Leadership is about action, not accusations.

Cote D'Ivoire Fires Back, Denies Sponsoring Terrorist Groups To Destabilise Niger Republic

December 28, 2024

General Lassina Doumbia, Chief of Defence Staff of the Armed Forces of Côte d'Ivoire, in a statement issued on Saturday, described the claims as baseless and lacking evidence, emphasising that their focus remains on national defense and security.

The Armed Forces of Côte d'Ivoire have vehemently denied allegations made by Niger Republic junta leader, General Abdourahamane Tchiani, accusing them of training Nigerien irredentist groups to destabilize the Nigerien government.

General Lassina Doumbia, Chief of Defence Staff of the Armed Forces of Côte d'Ivoire, in a statement issued on Saturday, described the claims as baseless and lacking evidence, emphasising that their focus remains on national defense and security.

Doumbia reaffirmed Côte d'Ivoire's commitment to regional cooperation and contributing to peace and stability in West Africa.

He urged Nigerien military authorities to address their internal security challenges, which remain unresolved.

The English version of the statement partly read:

"In a video broadcast by Nigerien state television and circulating on the internet, General Abdourahamane Tchiani, head of the ruling junta in Niger, felt it necessary, in an interview, to launch into a series of recriminations against in particular the Armed Forces of Côte d'Ivoire, which he openly accuses of contributing to the military training of alleged Nigerien irredentists who have taken refuge in Côte d'Ivoire.

"The objective of this training, according to General Abdourahamane Tchiani, would be to destabilise the power resulting from the putsch of July 26, 2023. The seriousness of the accusations made, the chosen media and the personality of the speaker require clarification in order to dispel the doubts that this succession of untruths could raise.

"The Armed Forces of Côte d'Ivoire, which remain focused on the defense and security of Côte d'Ivoire, oppose these serious accusations made, without any evidence, by the Head of the junta in Niger.

"The Armed Forces of Côte d'Ivoire, faithful to their long tradition of cooperation with countries in the sub-region, remain committed to continuing to make their contributions to regional peace and stability.

"They therefore request that the Nigerien military authorities focus on their security objectives, which, unfortunately, are far from being achieved for the time being."

"The Armed Forces of Cote d'Ivoire reject these serious allegations made, without any evidence, by the head of the junta in Niger", declared General Lassina Doumbia, Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces

Oganigwe:
I searched youtube for the channel you mentioned and found nothing, do you mind sharing a link to the "Osina Imo" channel?

Proudlyngwa:
Read what you wrote and ask yourself if it made any sense

naptu2:
The ESN Autopiloters have also reported the battle on their YouTube channels. Search for "Osina Imo" and fine tune your search to "Today" and you'll see it.

Yesterday, I paid courtesy visit to President Bola Tinubu in Lagos along with FCT Minister Nyesom Wike and his lovely family. We appreciate the magnanimity of the President for this privilege.

I visited the President of the Federal Republic, H.E. Bola Ahmed Tinubu, at his Lagos residence during Christmas to share the season's joy.

This visit provided me with the opportunity to express my gratitude for his commitments to the sustainable development of our Niger Delta region. I also assured him of our unwavering dedication to implementing the Renewed Hope agenda in the region.

Yesterday, I had the privilege of meeting with President @officialABAT who was in Lagos for the festive season holiday. It was a truly exciting moment to celebrate this special time with our dear leader and reflect on the remarkable progress we are making as a nation under his visionary leadership.

We take great pride in the strides Mr. President has achieved so far through the Renewed Hope Agenda, which continues to inspire confidence and optimism across the country.

#RenewedHope #BuildingOurFutureTogether #ISEYA #DapoAbiodun #OgunState

As we transition into the new year, today, I led a team from our dear State for a very strategic meeting with our leader and President, His Excellency Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

During our meeting, we discussed the pressing issues facing our party and explored innovative solutions aimed at enhancing the welfare of the citizens.

As we go into 2025, I am dedicated to implementing strategies that will foster significant progress and create a brighter future for our people.

naptu2:
One of the interesting things here is that the Autopiloters say that they battled the military. Go to their social media channels and watch their videos of the battle.

But people who don't know anything will tell you that it was "armed robber", "banger seller" and all kinds of nonsense. Do they know better than the two groups that were involved in the battle? Were they there??

ESN said that they fought the Army, the Army said that they fought ESN, but Mr Nobody is saying that it was armed robbers.

Isn't that funny?

TROOPS NEUTRALIZE ESN TERRORISTS, RECOVER WEAPONS

Troops of the 34 Artillery Brigade on Friday, 27 December 2024, neutralized members of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and its armed affiliate, the Eastern Security Network (ESN), during operations in Osina, Ideato North Local Government Area of Imo State.

Responding to a distress call about an IPOB/ESN attack on Osina Community, the troops, who were returning from routine patrols, swiftly engaged the terrorists with overwhelming firepower. The dissidents, caught off guard, retreated in disarray. Regrettably, two security agents were killed in action, while another remains missing. Their weapons, including an AK-47 rifle and a tear gas launcher, were seized by the terrorists. The bodies of the fallen agents were recovered as troops launched a pursuit of the fleeing assailants.

Contact was re-established with the criminals at Nkwachi Community, leading to another intense firefight. During this engagement, one of the dissidents was neutralized, while others fled into a nearby forest, unable to withstand the troops' superior firepower. An AK-47 rifle with a fully loaded magazine was recovered during this operation.

Undeterred, the troops pressed deeper into Umalouma Forest, where a fierce encounter ensued. Overwhelmed by the troops' firepower, the dissidents abandoned their weapons and fled into the dense forest with severe injuries. The following items were recovered: Five AK-47 rifles,One Fabrique Nationale rifle,Two magazines, One tear gas launcher.

Troops continue to exploit the area, trailing the injured terrorists and seeking to dismantle their hideouts and places of refuge. Members of IPOB/ESN and other criminal elements are urged to surrender to the nearest military location or face decisive action. The Brigade remains committed to ensuring that the people of Imo State enjoy a peaceful and secure Yuletide season, free from fear or intimidation.

We appeal to peace-loving residents of Imo State to support ongoing military operations by providing timely intelligence on the movements and hideouts of these criminal elements. Together, we can rid the state of all forms of criminality.

Princewell2012:
You mean the president is among the disability.
Or does the coran have a different law for the presidents.
Even if Buhari have once done that means it is islamically right.
?
Or show me the pictures of any Arab Nations and their presidents sitting on the chair in their mosques?

Princewell2012:
It is islamically wrong to sit on the chair doing jumat or any Islamic prayers, the Iman even knows this, nobody fear God this days because of money and position.

Princewell2012:
One thing I like about Buhari or nothern Muslim president, they will actually sit on the mat to observe their prayers anywhere.
Nowonder the northern Muslim does not regard southern Muslim as an original Muslim.
You can take that to the bank.
