Niger Coup - Junta Warns ECOWAS Leaders Meeting In Abuja Against Sending Military Troops Into Niger

ECOWAS has issued a one-week ultimatum to the coup plotters in the Niger Republic to release President Bazoum.

The military junta in Niger has warned West African leaders meeting in Abuja against military intervention in the country's ongoing coup.

West African leaders will meet in the Nigerian capital Abuja on Sunday July 30, for an emergency summit on Niger, where a military coup took place earlier this week.

The heads of state of the 15-nation Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) could suspend Niger from its institutions, cut off the country from the regional central bank and financial market, and close borders. France and the EU have already suspended financial aid and security cooperation with Niger. The US says it will follow suit.

General Abdourahamane Tchiani, the head of the powerful presidential guard, declared himself the leader of Niger on Friday as the country's elected president Mohamed Bazoum has been held by the military for four days.

"ECOWAS and the international community would do everything to defend democracy and ensure democratic governance continues to take firm root in the region," president of Nigeria and ECOWAS chairman, Bola Tinubu, said in a statement on Friday.

In a televised statement on Saturday night, July 29, Niger's military leaders warned against any such military intervention by ECOWAS saying soldiers are ready to defend their homeland.

"The objective of the (ECOWAS) meeting is to approve a plan of aggression against Niger through an imminent military intervention in Niamey in collaboration with other African countries that are non-members of ECOWAS, and certain western countries," junta spokesperson Colonel Amadou Abdramane said.

"We want to once more remind ECOWAS or any other adventurer, of our firm determination to defend our homeland," he added.

The junta issued another statement calling on citizens in capital Niamey to come out into the streets Sunday from 7 a.m. local time (8 a.m. CET) and demonstrate against ECOWAS to show support for the new military leadership.

Niger is among the world's poorest countries and receives nearly $2 billion (€1.8 billion) a year in official development assistance, according to the World Bank.

Someone’s retirement base.

Brave soldiers 🤠

History will be kind to them.

When the Democratic Government punishes the people who elected them by looting the common wealth of the people US, ECOWAS, UK, EU will look other way but the moment military takes ove to sanitize the system the UK, EU and US will start roaring. Even TINUBU that committed a democratic Coup is also roaring while sitting on someone's mandate.

I am surprised they didn't invite Russian army already.
Every African coup plotter know that they need Russian troops to maintain power.

Not to send Army to his father's house? You playing. Invade Nigeria with your military might if he tries it.

.this is the same invasion that the world is fighting in Ukraine and Nigeria wants to invade niger

Lol

Hehehe! An illegitimate president can not command respect. AU and ECOWAS are grossly useless.Mali and Guinea and now Niger Republic. Meanwhile, we are still counting

The Government in Niger is more legitimate than what we have in Nigeria at the moment.


It is clearly military rule.


What do we call the government in Nigeria?



Clearly we cannot call it Democracy as nobody elected Tinubu, not even his Yoruba people.

Lol... Niger Army Those ones fit fight civil defence?

It like they don't know Tinubu sha

But why will ecowas send army to Niger
Coup is an internal matter
Our greedy politician shouldn't start what they can't finish

Did you watch one video posted on the front page week ago about Guinea's new coup leader on a street procession with his children guarded by heavily armed soldiers numbering more than 50,000?? Is that sanitisation or continuation of corruption?? Abacha, IBB, etc, that stole billions of dollars — what sanitisation did they bring to Nigeria aside breathing out threats and intimidation, whilst they live in unquestioned opulence??

MODIFIED: I intentionally exaggerated the 50,000 to add some comic effect.

Seems Nigeriens are happy with the coup plotters. They are beating their politicians who have enslaved them for years.
Good luck to them

The way u seek validations from foreign media and non-nigerians make me question your all time low Self-Esteem

Its almost impossible for obidients to think independently...Most of you still have this slave mentality

Abacha is a Saint according to Buhari. Unfortunately for him he can't run to Niger again. So tinubu will probe him now.

The world is getting more divided than ever

Your last line is a proof that you're even worst than the politicians you're insulting


Its fine not to like BAT but to tell a "Bold Lie" in a public forum that "not even his Yoruba people voted for him" just to please your fellow obidient group who has no incentive to give u shows you'd do worst if Looting was involved


Why am i even trying to correct an educated man who erroneously believes that Obi not winning election automatically means 'Nigeria isnt practising Democracy"

Again, A bright Obidient doesnt exist, the smartest one died in June 2022

Niger leaders looks fresher than the ordinary citizens...
