[ColonelCassad] African countries are looking for opportunities to jump off the topic of intervention in Niger, to which Africans are being pushed by the Western colonialists.
The African Union has rejected any possibility of military intervention in Niger, according to Le Monde, citing sources familiar with the position of the African Union Peace and Security Council (PSC), appointed to adopt conflict resolution.
One of Le Monde's interlocutors clarified that while the African Union opposed the insurgency in Niger, the delegates and state leaders present at the meeting decided not to support military intervention, fearing that it could provoke a "bloody war." Sources of the newspaper noted that the official position of the association will be published soon.
The African Union is an intergovernmental organization uniting 55 states of the continent, the legal successor of the Organization of African Unity (OAU). The supreme body of the African Union is the assembly, which consists of the heads of state and government or their accredited representatives.
The coup in Niger took place on July 26, the presidential guard captured the head of the country, Mohamed Bazum, he is still being held in his residence. The commanders of the armed forces also joined the rebellion.
The African Union, like the countries of the West, condemned the coup and on July 29 gave the rebels 15 days to restore constitutional power. And the Economic Community of West African Countries (ECOWAS) threatened the rebels with military intervention if Bazum was not released. Niger's National Council for the Defense of the Homeland (a provisional body of power established by the rebels) ignored the ECOWAS ultimatum and on August 10 announced the formation of a new government.
The rebels threatened to kill the ousted president if they intervened. On August 14, junta spokesman Colonel Amadou Abdramane said that Bazuma would be tried for high treason and undermining the country's security. Against this background, the US State Department called military intervention in Niger a last resort.
Dragging out the issue is objectively beneficial for the military in Niger, who are now strengthening their power and ties with neighboring states that have already embarked on the path of national liberation.
PMC "Wagner" in the territory of Niger has not yet been announced, despite the regular French tantrums about this.
"Wagner" - the birthplace of French fear.
It is also worth noting that Turkey is also actively sinking for the rebels, counting on the growth of economic cooperation with Niger after the French fall down.
If the intervention does not take place, then the French will have to get out to Chad or Senegal.
