On ment, quand on laisse croire aux gens qu'on veut aller au Niger pour réinstaller bazoum dans le fauteuil démocratique [...] On est pistonnés par derrière pour aller faire un coup, pour l'uranium, pour le gaz, le pétrole ect.
Je souhaite que cette force en attente [de la cédéao] soit mobilisée, et que les chefs d'état-majors se réunissent pour faire un plan de lutte contre les terroristes. [...] Bazoum, on peut le libérer par la parole, par la négociation.
▪️Our ambassador in Niamey will remain despite the pressures of the coup leaders.
▪️We will continue with our firm policy regarding #Niger, which consists of not recognizing the coup plotters and supporting #Bazoum.
▪️If #ECOWAS leaves Bazoum, the leaders of the group will be at risk.
▪️Our policy in Niger is clear and derives from the courage of President Bazoum and from our military principles and interests.
▪️Our presence in #Africa is not just about the terrorist threat and the military solution should not replace the political one.
▪️We must look for new partners in Africa.
▪️If we had not intervened militarily in Africa, Niger, $Mali and #BurkinaFaso would not exist today with their known borders

Von Anna Lehmann
Svenja Schulze ist vier Tage im westlichen Afrika unterwegs. Auffällig ist, dass sich ihre Forderungen an die Militärjunta in Niger geändert haben.

— "Algerian President Abdelmadjid #Tebboune has rejected any external military intervention in Niger, where a #military coup overthrew President Mohamed #Bazoum last week.
"A military intervention could ignite the whole #Sahel region and Algeria will not use force with its neighbors," Tabboune said in an interview with local media on Saturday.
“No solution is possible in Niger without the participation of Algeria, as it is concerned by what is happening in this neighboring country,” he said, adding: “Algeria is willing to help the Nigeriens restore the constitutional legitimacy.”"
🇺🇸 US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on #Twitter:
— "I strongly welcome and support the leadership of ECOWAS Heads of State and Governments to defend constitutional order in Niger.
The legitimate, democratically-elected government must be reinstated immediately."
PS. Remember when US backed the coup by Sisi in Egypt? They didn't care much about the legitimacy and the rule of law!

"After [taking] the Presidential Palace, the #RepublicanGuard [a putschist military unit] is heading towards the government building. #President #Bazoum and the Minister of the Interior are being held by the mutineers. Several ministers have been arrested, including the Minister of Defense. General #OmarTchiani, head of the Presidential Guard and likely leader of this coup has not yet commented. French Army units [in their bases in Niger] are on alert." - #Tchad One, a Tchadian media outlet
Rumors spreading that Wagner PMC is supporting the pro-coup faction. Whilst these are, as yet, unconfirmed, it is worth noting that Wagner has recently provided the Presidential Guard - the main pro-coup military unit - with training.
With Wagner no longer being on the frontline of the SMO, it is possible that some of their forces have been deployed to Africa to fight French influence there; a long-term goal of the PMC (and of Russia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs) and one they recently performed in the Central African Republic.
ECOWAS, on regards to the situation in Niger."Information filtering in from the Republic of Niger indicates some unpleasant developments around the country's highest political leadership.
It should be quite clear to all players in the Republic of Niger that the leadership of the ECOWAS Region and all lovers of democracy around the world will not tolerate any situation that incapacitates the democratically-elected government of the country.
The ECOWAS leadership will not accept any action that impedes the smooth functioning of legitimate authority in Niger or any part of West Africa.
I wish to say that we are closely monitoring the situation and developments in Niger and we will do everything within our powers to ensure democracy is firmly planted, nurtured, well rooted and thrives in our region.
I am in close consultation with other leaders in our region, and we shall protect our hard-earned democracy in line with the universally acceptable principle of constitutionalism.
As the Chairperson of ECOWAS Authority of Heads of State and Government, I state without equivocation that Nigeria stands firmly with the elected government in Niger and equally conveys the absolute resolve of leaders in our sub-region that we shall not waiver or flinch on our stand to defend and preserve constitutional order.
