[Regnum] The armed forces of Niger must go into maximum readiness mode. Such an order was given to the country's army by the head of the defense headquarters Moussa Salau Barmu.
“From the moment you receive this message, bring all your personnel to a state of maximum readiness,” RIA Novosti quotes Barma.
He explained that such a decision was made in order to adequately respond to possible aggression against Niger.
As reported by IA Regnum , a military coup in Niger took place at the end of July. The presidential guard blocked the head of state Mohamed Bazum in the residence and announced his overthrow.
Later, the head of the National Council for the Defense of the Fatherland, ruling in Niger after the coup d'état, General Abdurahman Tchiani, agreed to start negotiations with the leaders of the Economic Community of West African Countries (ECOWAS). He explained to the delegation from Nigeria that the coup was conceived with the best of intentions to prevent an imminent threat to the two countries.
An ECOWAS delegation left Niger on August 20 after talks with the rebels failed. During the meeting, the delegation demanded the immediate return of power to President Bazum, who had been ousted by the rebels. Members of the military council of Niger rejected this demand.
Tchiani said on August 25 that military forces from Mali and Burkina Faso would be allowed to operate in Niger in the event of a foreign invasion.

In Niger, the rebels clarified that only the French ambassador was being expelled
The demand to leave Niger concerns only French Ambassador Sylvain Itte. This clarification was made on August 26 by an adviser to the head of the National Council for the Salvation of the Motherland (NCSR), formed by the rebels of Niger, reports Al Hadath TV channel.
According to the adviser, Itta has been ordered to leave Niger within 48 hours. The adviser denied the information disseminated by a number of media, including Agence France Presse (AFP), about the expulsion of the ambassadors of Germany, the United States and Nigeria from Niger.
The AFP agency, in turn, explained on the social network X (formerly Twitter) that the statements that the ambassadors of Germany, Nigeria and the United States in Niger were ordered to leave the country are untrue. These messages will be deleted.
Earlier, IA Regnum reported that the military, who came to power in Niger, put forward a demand to the German ambassador in Niamey to leave the country within 48 hours.
The rebels who came to power in Niger put forward a similar demand against the French ambassador in Niamey, Sylvain Itte. The diplomat was ordered to leave Niger within 48 hours.
At the same time, the demand of the Niger rebels to the French ambassador in Niamey to leave the country was taken into account in Paris and indicated that the military that came to power did not have the authority to make such a request.
