Commenting on the results of the meeting, the meeting participants stressed that they would not inform Niger about “where and when they will attack.”
It is also noted that the final decision on future actions will be taken by the heads of the ECOWAS countries.
Let’s remember that at the end of July in Niger, the military blocked the presidential palace, announcing the removal of President Mohamed Bazum from power. A “National Council for the Defense of the Fatherland” was created in the country. The military decided to close the borders of the state, as well as impose a curfew.
Yesterday, the military governments of Burkina Faso and Mali warned against any foreign interference in the neighboring country and vowed to take decisive action to protect themselves and support the people and armed forces of Niger.
Immediately afterwards, the authorities of France, Germany, Italy and Spain began to prepare the evacuation of their citizens. According to the latest data, some 70 Spaniards and at least 600 French citizens live in Niger.
