“Case of treason and conspiracy in Niger: around twenty personalities wanted”
In the aftermath of the coup d’état which overthrew Nigerien President Mohamed Bazoum, a case of treason and conspiracy is currently shaking the country’s political scene. More than twenty personalities, including former ministers and presidential advisers, are currently wanted by the authorities.
According to a document from the Nigerien intelligence services dated September 10, these personalities are involved in a conspiracy aimed at undermining state security. A list of 26 names was sent to the gendarmerie, the police and Interpol.
This list includes seven former ministers, including Prime Minister Ouhoumoudou Mahamadou and Foreign Minister Hassoumi Massaoudou. Also mentioned are high-ranking officers such as General Abou Mahamadou Tarka, as well as two diplomats, including Niger’s ambassador to France, Aichatou Kane Boulama.
According to information in the document, these personalities were allegedly involved in a conspiracy that was triggered by the events of the regime change on July 26. As a result, several former ministers and the president of the PNDS, the party of the ousted head of state, have already been transferred to prison this week.
This affair of treason and conspiracy gives a boost to the already fragile political situation in Niger. While the country faces many challenges, such as combating insecurity and economic development, this political crisis adds an additional layer of complexity.
The Nigerien authorities are determined to shed light on this matter and bring those involved to justice. However, some observers emphasize the need to guarantee fair and transparent procedures in order to avoid any risk of politicization of this affair.
Niger must now face this political crisis with determination and responsibility. The stability of the country and respect for the rule of law depend on it. It is essential that all stakeholders engage in constructive dialogue in order to find a path towards reconciliation and the consolidation of democracy.
In conclusion, the Niger treason and conspiracy case highlights the complex issues facing the country. As authorities continue their investigations, it is crucial that justice is delivered in a fair and transparent manner. Niger needs a peaceful resolution to this political crisis to move towards a stable and prosperous future.
