The Republic of Niger reopened its borders with some 5 weeks
The soldiers who staged a coup d'état in the Republic of Niger have announced the opening of the country's national and international borders with 5 other countries.
The countries with which Niger has opened its borders include Algeria, Burkina Faso, Libya, Mali and Chad, which comes less than five days before the deadline for the return of the Kingdom to civilian hands given by the ECOWAS group is complete. .
This comes after the countries of Mali and Burkina Faso warned the West African Union of ECOWAS/CEDEAO about the attempt to use the military to crush the soldiers who made a coup in Niger.
In a joint statement read by the Malian army on national television, they said that they will consider any military attack on Niger as launching a war against them, and it is inevitable that they will respond.
The statement of the army also added that if ECOWAS deliberately attacks Niger's army, they will definitely leave the group and support their counterparts in Niger, in response to ECOWAS's military response.
The army's announcement comes at a time when the international community is threatening to attack Niger's army if they do not return the government to civilian hands.
