Niger revokes military deals with France

Niger’s military coup is the seventh coup in West and Central Africa since 2020. An ECOWAS delegation was in Niamey, hoping to secure a peaceful resolution on the matter, but they were unable to meet the junta leaders or the ousted president. The bloc’s defence chiefs have also met this week to discuss a possible military response, which they have said would be a last resort. Coup leaders in the Republic of Niger, on Thursday, revoked a raft of military cooperation agreements with France. A decision about the revocation of five military deals with France dating between 1977 and 2020 was read out on national television late on Thursday by junta representative, Amadou Abdramane. The country further suspended broadcasts of French state-funded international news outlets France 24 and RFI earlier on Thursday drawing condemnation from the French foreign ministry. Do you think Niger is on the right path of history to fighting neo-colonialism in the country and Africa?
