Niger’s junta breaks off military cooperation with France FMTNews FMTWorld
NIAMEY: A west African delegation failed to secure the return to power of Niger’s elected government today despite proposals to resolve the crisis as the junta curtailed military cooperation with former colonial power France.
France rejected the coup leaders’ severing of military ties, insisting only the “legitimate” government could decide, while Niger’s ambassador to France said she did not recognise her sacking by the putschists and was loyal to Bazoum. Russia, which has increased its footprint across the Sahel in recent years, warned that foreign intervention would not resolve the crisis.
Bazoum, who has been held by the coup plotters with his family since his ouster, said yesterday that if the putsch proved successful, “it will have devastating consequences for our country, our region and the entire world”.
