“The movement for the release of Nigerien President Mohammed Bazoum is gaining momentum in France”

As current events continue to surprise us, it is important to stay informed about events happening around the world. Today we are going to talk about a hot topic: the release of Nigerien President Mohammed Bazoum, who was overthrown in a coup on July 26.

From France, around ten supporters gathered to form the collective for the release of Mohammed Bazoum. They forcefully demand his return to power and the restoration of republican order in Niger.

For these demonstrators, it is difficult if not impossible to make their voices heard from Niger, where the putschists prevent freedom of expression and flout republican values. This is why they chose to mobilize in France, where democracy is respected.

This gathering comes as the junta in power in Niger participated this week in its first international summit, in Saudi Arabia. An occasion which may have cast doubt on the persistence of the expectations of Mohammed Bazoum’s supporters. However, the latter remain confident about the release of the head of state and only recognize him as the legitimate president.

It is interesting to note that despite participation in international summits, the junta that overthrew President Bazoum did not succeed in lifting the sanctions imposed by the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). These sanctions are a way for ECOWAS to maintain pressure on the putschists and force them to return power to Mohammed Bazoum.

It is also important to note that the ruling junta is seeking to create new international ties. Indeed, a recent announcement indicates that an agreement has been reached with the Saudi development fund. This initiative could be interpreted as an attempt to legitimize the regime in place, but it is far from unanimous among Mohammed Bazoum’s supporters.

In conclusion, the release of Nigerien President Mohammed Bazoum remains a major issue for the supporters mobilizing in France. Despite the junta’s participation in international summits and attempts to create new ties, sanctions imposed by ECOWAS remain in place. The outcome of this situation remains uncertain, but the demonstrators continue to hope for a return to republican order and the release of their legitimate president.
