“Soon, Mr. Shimao will arrive in Niger’s capital, Niamey,” Dujarric explained. The representative of the UN Secretary General specified that during the visit, Mr. Shimao plans to meet with the National Council for the Salvation of the Fatherland (NCSR), the leaders of the council and other parties interested in resolving the country’s crisis. .
“He (Shimao – ed.) remains in contact with the representatives of ECOWAS countries, stakeholders in Niger and other stakeholders for a prompt and peaceful resolution of the situation in Niger,” Dujarric concluded.
Let us remember that on July 26, a group of Nigerien soldiers made a statement, which was broadcast on national television, about the removal of the president of the republic, Mohamed Bazum, from the exercise of his powers. Since then, the politician has been detained at his residence, while the country is led by General Abdurakhman Tchiani, who headed the National Council for the Salvation of the Fatherland (NCSR).
Meanwhile, the leaders of most Western powers, as well as representatives of the West African Economic Community regional association, condemned what happened in the republic.
