Abuja/Niamey: France and an organisation of West African countries have conspired to attack Niger. For this, France has deployed its military in the respective countries in opposition to Niger. The military government of Niger has made a serious allegation that France may attack Niger in the future. Just a few hours ago, French President Emmanuel Macron had hinted at attacking the military regime of Niger.

One and a half months ago, Niger‘s Army had rebelled and seized the reins of power by blinding President Mohamed Bazoum. The Army had accused President Bazoum’s government of being corrupt and working at the behest of Western countries. The local people have also supported this rebellion in Niger. After this, President Bazoum appealed to the international community for help.

The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) organisation has criticised Niger’s rebel army and has asked them to delegate the power to President Bazoum. This organisation had also threatened to take military action in Niger if the rebel army did not follow this notice. However, West African countries like Mali and Burkina Faso supported Niger’s rebellion, and later, the organisation had to give up its aggressive attitude.

After this, the government of Niger announced the expulsion of the French ambassador. Along with this, the Army also gave the French ambassador 48 hours to leave the country. French President Macron had refused to recall the ambassador, terming Niger’s rebellion illegal. Because of this, there were reports of French Ambassador Sylvain Itte taking shelter at the French military base located in the capital, Niamey.
