Algeria rejects possible ECOWAS military intervention in Niger
Algeria has clearly stated its opposition to any military intervention by the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) in Niger. This firm position was reaffirmed during the visit of a special envoy from the President of Nigeria, current president of ECOWAS, to the Algerian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The military coup in Niger was condemned by Algeria, which supports the legitimately elected president, Mohamed Bazoum. Bazoum’s return to his constitutional post is supported by Algeria, which calls for diplomatic and peaceful measures to resolve the situation.
Algerian Foreign Minister Ahmed Attaf stressed the importance of avoiding the use of force, which would only worsen the situation both for Niger and the region as a whole. He also called for caution and restraint in the face of intentions for foreign military interventions in the country.
Algeria, as a neighboring country to Niger, plays a key role in resolving the ongoing political crisis. Its support for President Bazoum strengthens its position on the regional scene and demonstrates its commitment to the stability and legitimacy of institutions in the region.
This position of Algeria highlights the challenges facing ECOWAS in its attempt to resolve the crisis in Niger. While some member countries support military intervention, others, like Algeria, favor political and diplomatic solutions.
It is essential that all parties concerned work together to find a peaceful solution to this crisis and to support the return to constitutional order in Niger. Algeria will play a key role in these efforts and can help create favorable conditions for a peaceful and lasting resolution of the situation.
In conclusion, Algeria’s position on a possible ECOWAS military intervention in Niger reflects its commitment to the stability and legitimacy of institutions. His support for President Bazoum and his call for peaceful and diplomatic solutions illustrate his desire to find a favorable outcome to the crisis. It is now up to all parties concerned to work together to peacefully resolve this situation and ensure a return to constitutional order in Niger.
