[REGNUM] The military that seized power in Niger accused France of deploying armed forces in the countries of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) for subsequent intervention in the country. The rebels made a corresponding statement on September 9 on national television, reports Agence France-Presse (AFP).
The military in Niger accused France of preparing forces for intervention
“France continues to deploy its forces in several ECOWAS countries in preparation for aggression against Niger, which it is considering in cooperation with this organization,” the agency quotes rebel leader Amadou Abdraman as saying.
The rebels pointed out that Paris is deploying troops in Côte d'Ivoire, Senegal, Benin and other ECOWAS countries.
Earlier, IA Regnum reported that the new authorities of Niger banned the visit of the French Ambassador to the country Sylvain Itte to everyone except employees of the French diplomatic mission. For this reason, in Niamey, cars with representatives of the EU and Spain were not able to travel to the French Embassy for a conversation with the ambassador.
On the night of July 26, a coup d'état took place in Niger. A group of military men came to power in the country and removed the President of the Republic, Mohamed Bazoum, from government.
On August 25, the new Niger authorities demanded that Sylvain Itte leave the country within 48 hours. They explained their decision by the actions of the French authorities, contrary to the interests of the African republic.
The rebel-appointed Prime Minister of Niger, Ali Mahamane Lamine Zein, announced on September 5 that negotiations would be held for the speedy withdrawal of French forces from the country.
