48 hours from Niger… He asked the ambassador to leave the country
In the document sent by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Niger to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Nigeria, it is stated that the Nigerian ambassador in Niamey, Usman, was summoned to the ministry, but the ambassador did not respond to this invitation.
Therefore, the document indicates that Ambassador Usman’s meeting was canceled and Usman was asked to leave the country within 48 hours.
During the day, Niger’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs gave 48 hours for the French ambassador to Niamey, Slyvain Itte, and the German ambassador to Niamey, Oliver Schnakenberg, to leave the country.
Nigeria, which also holds the temporary presidency of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), was one of the countries that supported the military intervention plan in Niger to remove the soldiers from the administration.
France and Germany also declared that they did not recognize the military administration that came to power on July 26 and openly supported the ECOWAS intervention plan.
In Niger, President Mohammed Bazum was detained by elements of the Presidential Guard Regiment on July 26, and that afternoon the soldier announced that he had seized the administration.
General Abdurrahmane Tchiani, commander of the Presidential Guard Regiment, became head of the transitional government called CNSP on July 28.
The CNSP appointed Lamine Zeine prime minister on August 7 and announced the 21-member cabinet on August 10, made up of soldiers and civilians. (AA)
