The military government of the Republic of Niger has arrested the leader of the ruling PNDS party
The reports coming from the Republic of Niger indicate that the soldiers who made the coup in the country arrested the leader of the PNDS Federal Party, Foumakoye Gado, the President's representative, and the Minister of Petroleum, Sani Issoufou Mahamadou, this Monday.
This comes after the suspension of the former Minister of National Security and Member of Parliament, Kalla Moutari, who was arrested last Thursday.
There is no further information about the reasons for their arrest, but Foumakoye Gado, as the president of the Federal PNDS party, wrote a letter, where he requested the branches of the party to hold demonstrations and make announcements calling for the forced The army should release President Bazoum.
Foumakoye did this despite the Sun army taking action to stop the activities of political parties.
Last Wednesday, the security forces of the President of Niger kidnapped President Bazoum Mohamed, which led to the coup d'état.
The international community and organizations have been calling attention to this matter, where the ECOWAS/CEDEAO group has given the soldiers who overthrew the government a week to return President Bazoum or take action against them.
