In the event, ECOWAS' demands aren’t met within 1week for restoration of democracy in #Niger 🇳🇪,…it was agreed that "Such measures may include the Use of Force for this effect, the Chiefs of Defence Staff of ECOWAS are to meet immediately’’ the leaders said in a meeting in Abuja

Re: Niger



I hate juntas but democracy hasn't really been allowed to run its course in Niger. So demanding it right now almost seems like the beginning of a bad joke.

What are your thoughts guys

Very unlikely for ECOMOG to invade Niger. I don't think they would want to risk war because any Military coup more than 24hrs is already a successful coup.
The ultimatum should be for another election where the people can have the chance to select another leader who won't sold them out to France nor Russia nor China.

It was easy for Nigeria to single handedly invade Banjul and unseat Yahyah Jameh because their People and Military cooperated.

It is not same here with Niger. The people of Niger are infact happy with this Coup. We all saw their jubilation video all over Niamey.

The West would very much like this to degenerate into war in West Africa. I don't think our leaders would fall for it.

That guy will be forced to step down no matter what. Sitting next to Nigeria and ECOWAS chairman that really want to prove to people that elected him that they were right.

The international pressure is something else this time.

Believe me that guy will step down because Jameh of Gambia did more than this before running away.

Bacteria8:


Definitely, he will have to leave. President Tinubu won't have it for sure.

However, I don't think it will be through kenetic force. I think it will purely be diplomatic force. There's too much at stake.

iblawi:


I even forgot to mention the sanctions Nigeria alone can impose on Niger from electricity to imported goods, free movement of trade, etc. Too many ways to cripple their economy and turn the people against him in no time.

Bacteria8:

Yes sir, that's better.
But at least, they should give him ultimatum to conduct another election because if we are being sincere, the people were really about the coup.

Personally, I am against any intra/inter military crisis that might linger in West Africa especially our doorstep... because that would be a fertile ground for the Western parasites to explore again.
We must hold on to the gains we have made so far

And in the case of war, ECOWAS may have Russia to contend with.

Despite being close to the French and the Americans, Bazoum was no one’s lackey, being especially aware of anti-French feeling in the capital. He opened channels, for instance, to negotiate and search for peace with the Jihadists and could be publicly critical of his Western allies.

There does remain one hope of reversing the coup – the diplomatic efforts of the Economic Community of West African States (Ecowas). Its chairperson, Nigeria’s President Bola Tinubu, was quick to denounce the putsch and his awareness of the seriousness of the threat to the region was seen in his rapid response, immediately dispatching a delegation to Niamey including the president of Benin, Patrice Talon.

Sources in Abuja say the situation is personal for Tinubu. His early political career was in the struggle against the military dictatorship of General Sani Abacha. But he is also keenly aware of the impact on Nigeria, which has a long and porous border with Niger.

Cross-border insurgency and banditry between Zamfara state in Nigeria and southern Niger has increased over the past few years while Boko Haram has run operations across the border for more than a decade.

Tinubu has shown a willingness to make tough and painful choices with his economic and security reforms at home. Regionally, he has indicated that he wants to return Ecowas to the policy of zero tolerance for coups. At one point, Ecowas was prepared to send intervention forces into recalcitrant countries.

Ecowas’ lack of political will and feeble responses to the coups of the past six years effectively encouraged further coups.

Lol. I see some celebrating that Niger has stopped Uranium exports to EU.

When I saw that earlier, I was like, damn this guy is so stupid. Russia is practially Niger's competitor on Uranium exports to EU and they want to deceive him to close his market so that the EU would be 50% dependent on Russia for Uranium exports.

Even when it comes to use of force. Niger republic have 12,000 personnels which is less that half the size of civil defense not to talk of the army , Navy or air force.

All this is excluding other neighbouring country forces. We don't even need to carry equipment over distances.

You just Google search European Union Conference with Africa and then post link here lol just move on bruv

African leaders are just wierd people. Russia broke out of this deal promising to give free grains to only six countries in Africa, five of which are his allies.

Yet only two countries, Egypt and South Africa voiced opposition to it. Two countries with the highest Global Food Security Index and Economic Complexity Index scores in Africa, who these things should bother less.
