Long live the Alliance of Sahel States!!!
Real
Getting new body parts....Wonderful news. ECOWAS are a bunch of losers, French puppets.
In fact, as we speak, ECOWAS Chairman president Tinubu of Nigeria is in Paris for a "private visit"
Niger exempted about 80 customs and gendarmerie employees at Niamey Airport as a precautionary measure, after a smuggling incident, one and a half tons of gold worth more than 60 billion CFA francs ($100 million).
The leaders of the three Sahel countries, “bearing all their responsibilities before history and in response to the expectations and aspirations of their people, decide with full sovereignty to immediately withdraw Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger from the Economic Community of West African States.”
ECOWAS said in its first official statement: “Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso are important members, and we will be committed to finding a solution to the crisis.” In its first comment on the withdrawal of Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso, the Economic Organization of West African States (ECOWAS) announced that these three countries are “important members
of the organization.”
The organization confirmed that it would be committed to finding a negotiated solution to what it called the “political impasse,” and that it would issue more statements as the situation develops. It is expected that after the leaders of Nigeria and Côte d'Ivoire return from France, the organization will call for an extraordinary summit to discuss political developments around Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso.
“Secrets and plans to destabilize Niger.” France bans the publication of the book of its former ambassador to Niamey The French Ministry of Foreign Affairs banned the publication of a book by its former ambassador to Niger, Sylvain Etty, under several pretexts, including relying on the country’s national defense secrets protection law.
In writing the book “In the Heart of French Diplomacy in Africa,” Ambassador Etty reflected his diplomatic experience in Niamey, and the publication ban coincided with the consequences of the diplomatic and military crisis that flared up during recent months between Paris and Niamey and ended with the withdrawal of French forces from the country.
In this case, the ambassador could have revealed sensitive information in the book, in particular a project to destabilize the Nigerian regime through the former rebel leader Risa Ag Bola. Here, the French Foreign Ministry expressed its fear that publishing this sensitive information would endanger the security of France and France’s partners in Niger.
According to sources from the publishing house, one of the book’s paragraphs specifically mentioned French support for Risa Ag Bola in the context of a planned armed rebellion against the Nigerian army. This scheme was scheduled to be implemented due to the slowness of ECOWAS's intervention in order to return to power ousted President Mohamed Bazoum, who was ousted in the July 2023 coup.
Niger announces the localization of the water sector and terminates the contract with a French company. The Nigerien government decided to localize the operation of drinking water, ending its contract with the French company Veolia. This decision comes in the wake of the Cabinet’s adoption of a draft decree related to setting the statute for a new state-owned company.
The French company Veolia's concession ended on December 31, and after more than 22 years of partnership, the state company is now responsible for ensuring the operation, production and distribution of drinking water in urban and peri-urban areas of the country.
France officially announces the closure of its embassy in Niger until further notice. The French Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on Tuesday the closure of its embassy in Niger, after relations between the two countries deteriorated following the military coup led by the army against deposed President Mohamed Bazoum since last July.
A spokeswoman for the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement, “For five months, our embassy faced severe obstacles, which made it impossible to carry out its duties in Niger,” explaining that the embassy will currently continue its work from Paris, the French capital.
