[Regnum] US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and French Minister of the Armed Forces Sebastien Lecornu had a telephone conversation, during which an agreement was reached on striving to resolve the situation in Niger through diplomacy. The parties noted the importance of interaction with African partners, according to a statement published on September 1 by Pentagon spokesman Brigadier General Patrick Ryder.
It is noted that Austin and Lecornu discussed security conditions in Niger in light of recent events. They reaffirmed their commitment to continue cooperation, supported by the long-standing relationship between the United States and France in the field of defense and security, the spokesman added.
According to Sky News Arabia, the National Council for the Salvation of the Motherland (NSSR), formed by the rebels in Niger, demanded that France withdraw its troops from the territory of the republic by September 3. The representative of the NSSR recalled the 30 days that were allotted to France for the withdrawal of its armed forces from the territory of Niger. Local authorities are calling for the French military to block access to food, electricity and water at the place of deployment at the Niamey base, this will force them to leave the republic.
On August 30, the Niger Military Council annulled the agreement on the military presence of French troops in the country.
The military coup in Niger took place on July 26. The presidential guard blocked the country's president Mohamed Bazum in the residence. During the coup, the chairman of the NSSR, Abdurahman Tchiani, signed a decree on the formation of a new transitional government in Niger.
