 Bazoum asked to be taken for him

"I am calling on the United States and the rest of the world to help restore law and order in Niger," Bazoum said in the article he wrote.

President Mohamed Bazoum, who was overthrown by the army in the Republic of Niger, asked the United States and other countries to help him.

In an article he wrote that was published in the Washington Post, Bazoum, 63 years old, said that he did not see why the army took power.

"I am calling on the United States and the rest of the world to help restore law and order. The people of Niger will never forget the help you will give them at this important time in the history of the country.

"This coup d'état by a part of the military against the government on July 26 is baseless.

"If they succeed, it will have bad consequences for Niger, our region and the whole world." Bazoum said in an article published on Friday in the Washington Post.

Bazoum added that there is no truth in the statement made by the soldiers that the security of Niger has deteriorated.

"They claim that our war against jihadists is not successful, and the measures we are taking to develop our economy and other plans and alliances with the United States and European countries are having a negative impact on our country.

"In fact, security has improved in Niger, 40 percent of our budget is foreign aid, but that will not happen if this coup is successful." Bazoum said.

According to Bazoum, in the south of Niger where Boko Haram fighters are fighting, it has been two years without any attack, and the refugees are returning to their villages.

Bazoum also warned that Russia and Wagner's mercenary forces could invade the region if the coup continues.

The soldiers who carried out the coup under General Abdourahamane Tchiani, said that they took over the country because of the deteriorating security situation in the country, and the measures taken to develop the economy are not working.

Many international countries have condemned this coup while ECOWAS/CEDEAO, the AU and the UN are calling for the immediate release of Bazoum and the return of the country to the path of democracy.

Last week, the ECOWAS/CEDEAO group imposed sanctions on the country of Niger and threatened to take military action if the coup leaders refused to surrender.

On Thursday, a delegation of ECOWAS/CEDEAO representatives led by the former military leader in Nigeria, General Abdulsalami Abubakar and the Sultan of Islam, Sultan Muhammad Sa'ad Abubakar III, arrived in Yamai in a stage of intervention in the coup crisis.
