Military Junta in Niger has released a statement claiming that ECOWAS has completed its preparations for an Invasion of Niger with at least 2 Members of the Organization
ECOWAS’ deadline for the new Nigerien govt to peacefully step down lest they use military action has passed. "A Senior Military Commander with the ECOWAS-Standby Force has told the Wall Street Journal that it’s Forces need more time to prepare before any kind of Military Intervention in Niger, with the “Success” of the Operation being dependent on these preparations"
French Ministry of Foreign Affairs updates travel advisory to Niger, Mali, and Burkina Faso (the three nations declared to defend the new Nigerien govt against military intervention) the highest level of caution
Would this amount to anything? AFAIK Nigeria is a Western-Style “democracy”, wherein the proles are given an illusion of choice and the responsibility to foot the bill for the bourgeoisie. The ruling class meanwhile just does whatever
Yeah, but those are the representatives of the ruling class voting against it.
