NIAMEY: The turmoil in Africa continues getting deeper while the West African bloc that forms Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has sent its delegation to Gen. Abdourahmane Tchiani, who ousted President Mohamed Bazoum last week, with the message the military intervention will be last option.
President Joe Biden has put his weight behind the reinstatement of President Mohamed Bazoum who is currently under arrest.
The evacuation of French and Europeans has started and diplomatic missions of the United States and the United Kingdom have also reduced their strength besides France.
Gen. Abdourahmane Tchiani has made a stern warning to the West for interfering in Niger’s affairs and has asked the nation to steadfast and be prepared to defend the country.
Gen. Abdourahmane Tchiani was commander of Niger’s presidential guard before seizing power.
