Niger’s military rulers have approved a general mobilisation and authorised the requisition of people and goods as they intensify the fight against armed groups across the country, according to a government statement.

The decision followed a cabinet meeting on Friday and marks a major escalation by the military government, which seized power in a July 2023 coup that toppled the country’s democratically elected president, Mohamed Bazoum.

“People, property, and services may be requisitioned during general mobilisation to contribute to the defence of the homeland, in compliance with the legislation and regulations in force,” the government said in a statement issued late on Saturday.

“Every citizen is required to respond immediately to any call-up or recall order, to comply without delay with the implementation of measures for the defence of the homeland, and to submit to requisition,” it added.

The authorities said the measures aim to “preserve the integrity of the national territory” and “protect the population” as Niger continues to face attacks by armed groups operating across several regions.

Niger has been embroiled in deadly armed conflict for more than a decade, with violence linked to fighters affiliated with al-Qaeda and the ISIL (ISIS) group. Nearly 2,000 people have been killed, according to the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED), which tracks political violence.

The southeast of the country has also suffered repeated attacks by Boko Haram and its splinter group, the ISIL affiliate in West Africa Province (ISWAP), further stretching Niger’s security forces.

The mobilisation order comes five years after Niger expanded its armed forces to around 50,000 troops and raised the retirement age for senior officers from 47 to 52. Since taking power, the military government has also urged citizens to make “voluntary” financial contributions to a fund launched in 2023 to support military spending and agricultural projects.

Soon after the coup, Niger’s rulers ordered French and United States troops, who had supported operations to combat rebel fighters, to withdraw from the country.

Niger has since deepened security cooperation with neighbouring Mali and Burkina Faso, also ruled by a military government. The three Sahel states have formed a joint force of 5,000 troops, presenting it as a regional response to armed groups while further distancing themselves from Western partners.

Niger has been embroiled in deadly armed conflict for more than a decade.......Soon after the coup, Niger’s rulers ordered French and United States troops, who had supported operations to combat rebel fighters, to withdraw from the country.

Niger has been battlting with terrorist scum for a decade and the combined forces of French and US military could not eradicate this terrorists from existence

But why naa? Is there a lesson to be learnt here?

Nah!!!! Let the French and US military come to Nigeria.

While they are on their way Nentanyahu should send some IDF too, I heard they've effectively killed 20,000 people, though those people were children.

dem don enter one chance

govt can seize any of your assets claiming it is to fight insurgents
govt can come and carry your son , husband, daughter, wife and drop them on warfront

Please spell words correctly when you post, and try to use perfect grammar and punctuation. Truth is everyone is a soldier. You can be conscripted at anytime. Whether you are a national or not. Just pray the country you in doesn't go to war.

This coup things are evil and always have it's way on the masses

muyico:
as long muslim exist

That means you started what you cannot finish.
Waste of time. You can never finish Muslims.

The fear of US is the beginning of wisdom,if you can’t do it,they will do it for you
US can steal and terrorists can kill,when you are at a crossroad,you will know that one is a saint

Tinubu led Federal government is busy playing with islamists and Fulanis supremacists

The southeast of the country has also suffered repeated attacks by Boko Haram and its splinter group, the ISIL affiliate in West Africa Province (ISWAP), further stretching Niger’s security forces.

The south east of many countries all around the world are always suffering from one thing or the other..

Make no mistake. They are mobilizing against a potential invasion by Nigeria, the US, or France. The missile that landed in Sokoto clearly spooked them and they are concerned that future missile attacks may be targeted at them.

P1PrinceKT:

Waste of time. You can never finish Muslims.

then muslim cant finish us!!

It's not that easy to eradicate an idealogy, especially that of the Islamic terrorism who believes the whole world should be govern by Islamic Shari'a law.

The best way is never to give up, even if the fighting will continue for a thousand years.

The Islamic terrorists doesn't give up, we too should not give up.

That's exactly what the Israeli government are doing, giving up is never an option.

Desperate situations requires desperate measures

Not all Muslims are terrorist but all terrorist are Muslim

Muslims were here all along ... where were the terrorist groups? Most of these terrorist groups were created by the West and Israel. When no longer needed...they splinter and hav their own wins and objectives. Bin Laden .... one of the biggest terrorist.... CIA operative running the Muhajadeens ... a force formed to counter the Russians in Afghanistan. It was all good until the group was abandoned...stopped following instructions and was declared a terrorist organization. Hamas. Who created Hamas? Israel. ...to counter the powerful PLO. Hamas stopped following orders...now they are a terrorist organization. We can expect several terrorists groups and killings in the region.....France cannot survive without loot from its African countries. They are desperate for the resources of these Eah l countries that kicked them out and are hoping Trump will do whatever it takes to destabilize these countries or force regime change. Terrorists are in the North East ..but the US attacked th North West..... why? ...it's not about Christian genocide but about those Sahel countries

You clearly don't understand one single thing written here. Did you even read the post at all?

You see a serious country... This is what Nigeria should have done long ago before all these terrorist gained foot hold in our country.

Am sure Gumi cries is about to increase.

See what Obidients were wishing for Nigeria the other time when these people took over. Hope they would heed the call of Niger since they so much love the coup? Obidients, off to Niger, please !

In Nigeria the attention is on empowering them through negotiations

Since u.s attack on sokoto. Niger and Burkina Faso have been scared and terrified. Nigeria military jet was released with no time.

U. S have tested and proved that they can attack from the gulf of geaniue without stepping foot on those territory.

This operation is already a threat to Niger.
