    West African nations propose 25,000 soldiers for Niger deployment

    West African nations propose 25,000 soldiers for Niger deployment

    Several West African countries are contemplating sending a combined force of 25,000 soldiers to restore the power of President Muhammad Bazum, who was ousted in a military coup on July 26. The information was initially reported by RFI, shedding light on the complex diplomatic and military manoeuvres taking place in the region.

    The proposed military contingent is set to be composed of troops from Nigeria, Côte d'Ivoire, Senegal, and Benin. Nigeria, in particular, has expressed its readiness to contribute half of the total military personnel, underscoring its commitment to stabilising the situation in Niger. The Nigerian military will also take the lead in coordinating these joint forces.

    The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), a regional bloc, has been closely monitoring the situation. While the prospect of a military intervention is being considered, ECOWAS views this as an extreme measure, preferring diplomatic and negotiated solutions to restore stability and ensure a peaceful transition of power. Despite this stance, the events on the ground have escalated to a point where such intervention might be deemed necessary.

    On August 8, high-level delegations from the United Nations, the African Union, and ECOWAS were scheduled to visit Niger with the aim of mediating and facilitating talks between the opposing factions. However, the rebel forces that control the country reportedly prevented their entry, further complicating the diplomatic efforts to resolve the crisis.

    A significant international dimension to this crisis was evident when U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland visited Niger. During her visit, she conveyed the complexity of the situation, revealing that the military in Niger seemed reluctant to accept the offer of power restoration through negotiations. Nuland expressed hope that the rebels would maintain an avenue for diplomatic dialogue, even as tensions remained high.

    The military coup that occurred on July 26 saw the presidential guard taking President Muhammad Bazum out of power. In a swift turn of events, General Abdurahman Tchiani, the head of the presidential guard, declared himself as the new head of state just two days later. This coup triggered widespread concern among neighbouring countries and international organisations, leading to swift diplomatic responses.

    However, the unfolding crisis has sparked mixed reactions within the region. While ECOWAS countries have rallied in support of a potential military intervention to reinstate President Bazum, neighbouring countries Mali and Burkina Faso, both of which experienced their own military coups, have vehemently opposed such action. They argue that any foreign military intervention in Niger's internal affairs could be perceived as a declaration of war against them.
