The upper border of the Republic of Niger is closed
The soldiers who usurped the power of the Republic of Niger have closed the borders of the country after the deadline given by the ECOWAS organization to the military to keep the power has been fulfilled.
The forces that took control of the Republic of Niger have closed the country's upper borders due to what they called the threat of infiltration, after the mandate of the Economic Development Organization of West Africa (ECOWAS/CEDEOA) was fulfilled to restore the civilian government of Mohamed Bazoun and the army did a coup d'état.
This past Sunday, the one-week deadline to return the country to the constitutional path was fulfilled, after the military coup.
The West African Economic Development Organization (ECOWAS) has vowed to follow all the necessary measures to ensure that the army surrenders to the authority of the Republic of Niger. What remains to be seen is the next step that the ECOWAS group will take under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu of Nigeria, after the completion of the mandate.
Antonio Tajani, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Italy, has requested the ECOWAS/CEDEOA organization to extend the deadline it has given to the soldiers in charge of the Republic of Niger, because of the possibility of finding a solution during an interview published this Monday in a local newspaper. Italy called La Stampa.
