| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] The American authorities are not satisfied with the change of power in Niger, and for this reason, US intelligence agencies are discussing the possibility of eliminating the new leadership of the African country. This was reported on September 7 by the press bureau of the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) of Russia. “According to information received by the SVR, the United States is clearly not satisfied with the development of events in Niger, where an interim administration headed by General Abdurahman Chiani recently came to power as a result of a military coup ,” the report says. It is specified that the United States authorities are considering options on how to stop the trend of turning Africa into one of the centers of power in the multipolar world, which is dangerous for the West, and also to take control of the "French" heritage "in the strategically significant Sahel." “The White House is working on various options to “strengthen democracy” in Niger,” the report says. It is also indicated that Washington considers it unjustified to carry out such actions with the help of the Economic Community of West African Countries (ECOWAS), which is closely associated with France. “The Americans see the physical elimination of the “putsch leaders” who rely on the support of the majority of the population as a more “effective” option. Representatives of the American intelligence services directly discuss with partners potential perpetrators of possible assassination attempts, relying on people from the inner circle of the leaders of the transitional structures, preferably from among those who have undergone special training at Pentagon educational institutions, ”the statement adds . Seeing the unexpected and extremely unpleasant geopolitical awakening of Africa for the United States, Washington decided to resort to the usual methods, the Foreign Intelligence Service stressed. As reported by IA Regnum , on the night of July 27, a group of military men in Niger announced a coup d'état and the overthrow of the president. Colonel Amadou Abdramane , who led the coup , said that the military opposed the country's leader "because of the deteriorating security situation and poor governance." The command of the Niger army supported the rebels. The president of Niger, overthrown by the rebels, on August 1, through the American newspaper Washington Post, appealed to the US authorities and the international community with a request to help restore constitutional order in the African country. On August 7, US Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland arrived in Niger , who negotiated with the rebels and threatened to deprive the country of hundreds of millions of dollars of aid. Later that day, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken did not respond to a question about the possibility of withdrawing US troops from Niger. He stated that he could not talk about the future. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on August 24 that the US strategy for Africa is offensive. He recalled the law adopted by Washington in 2022 on “obstructing the evil policy of Russia in Africa”, the name of which caused outrage in African countries, which is why the US authorities are trying to give this document a more digestible name, while maintaining its essence. |
