Niger Junta Threatens To Kill Deposed President Bazoum If U.S, ECOWAS Intervene by WriterNig(op): 5:52pm On Aug 10, 2023

🇳🇪 Niger’s junta told a top U.S. diplomat that they would kill deposed President Mohamed Bazoum if neighboring countries attempted any military intervention to restore his rule, two Western officials told The Associated Press.

Representatives of the junta told U.S. Under Secretary of State Victoria Nuland of the threat to Bazoum during her visit to the country this week, a Western military official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation.

A U.S. official confirmed that account, also speaking on condition of anonymity, because they were not authorized to speak to the media.

Bazoum, who was deposed on July 26, says he is being held hostage at his residence.

The regional ECOWAS bloc said Thursday it had directed the deployment of a “standby force” to restore democracy in Niger after the coup. However, ECOWAS officials gave few details and failed to spell out the make-up, location and proposed date of deployment for any military intervention force.

West African heads of state met in the Nigerian capital, Abuja, to discuss next steps after Niger military junta defied their deadline of Sunday to reinstate Bazoum but analysts say the bloc may be running out of options as support fades for a military intervention.

It's a sad situation they have found themselves in because of some over ambitious soldiers.

FreeStuffsNG:
They are very desperate and jittery now. It's a bluff. They should just go away quietly instead of getting into bigger problems. Ecowas by now should have blacklisted and sanctioned the young man puppet they purportedly announced as PM . Check my signature for free stuffs!

If the young man refuses, the coupist can kill him to save face.

And ECOWAS has ordered the joint troops to be prepped and put on standy for possible deployment.. grin

.

How is anyone else not seeing the oddity in Buhari's near-deafening silence on this issue? Outside the one statement he made through Garba Shehu commending Tinubu for his "believed" prompt intervention in the matter, the man has been utterly quiet. I mean, for a former President who was literally helping to fund Niger's annual budgets and budgetting billions of dollars for infrastructure in Niger republic, isn't he supposed to have made more efforts than everyone else?

Even Sanusi who's just an Emir, has somehow explored his connections and accessed Niger to meet the Junta. But Buhari is in Daura, strolling the streets with the DSS and his stupid looking slippers.

Can’t France borrow Nigeria 2 atomic bombs.

Nigeria has capabilities of detonating one in Niger and the other one within Nigeria’s territory.

They won't dare invade Niger, that may lead to Tinubu's ouster from Aso Rock by northern cabals through coup d'etat

I strongly had that feeling this is what they will do if attacked.
It's pointless risking that man's life for the Democracy you want to restore to him.
What will be his gain when he's executed?

Nigeria should stay away from Niger's internal issues.

Those closest to the war front, and supply routes should keep us updated with troops movements. The pictures should be very clear and videos short and precise. grin
