\nNiger’s neighbours, Mali and Burkina Faso \u2014 which are ruled by military leaders who seized power in 2020 and 2022, respectively \u2014 have pledged solidarity to Niger’s coup leaders.
\nThe three Sahel countries in September signed a pact that includes provisions for mutual defence in the event of an attack on the “sovereignty and territorial integrity” of any of the countries.
\nThey also plan to strengthen economic ties. The three (3) regimes are also united in the fight against jihadism in their countries.
\nShortly after taking power, Tiani pledged to return Niger to civilian rule within three years.
\nMali, meanwhile, has indefinitely postponed a presidential election that was scheduled for early 2024.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
