Military junta threatens President if military experience any form of attack

Niger's junta threatened a top US diplomat that if surrounding countries tried military action to restore deposed President Mohamed Bazoum's power, they would kill him.

During her visit to the country this week, representatives of the junta informed US Under Secretary of State Victoria Nuland of the danger against Bazoum, a Western military official said on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the matter.

An official in the United States verified that account, saying on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.

Bazoum, who was deposed on July 26, claims to be held hostage at his home.

The regional ECOWAS alliance announced on Thursday. It has put in place military intervention to restore democracy but has not disclosed actual location and time of strategy.

West African Union heads of state met Thursday in Nigeria's capital, Abuja.

When asked for clarification, the president of the ECOWAS commission, Omar Alieu Touray, said he could only reaffirm the decisions of "the military authorities in the subregion to deploy a standby force of the community."

Financing had been discussed, and "appropriate measures have been taken," he said.

He blamed the junta for any hardship caused by the sanctions imposed on Niger and stated that any future actions by the bloc would be taken jointly, rather than by any single country.

Military Junta of Niger Republic forms new government

Certainly, it was been disclosed on thursday in a decree aired out on national television.

Ali Mahaman Lamine Zeine the Prime Minister would be leading the 21-member government, with the newly formed generals heading the defence and interior ministries.

It precedes the crucial meeting to be held in Abuja on Thursday by the Economic Community of West African States, ECOWAS by Heads of State and Government.

The expectation of the meeting is the next line of action for the recent overthrow of government in Niger Republic.
