[Regnum] General Abdurahman Tchiani , head of the ruling National Council for the Defense of the Fatherland (CNSP), ruling in Niger after the coup, agreed to start negotiations with the leaders of the Economic Community of West African Countries (ECOWAS) . This was announced on August 14 by the Al Jazeera TV channel.

Rebel-appointed Prime Minister Ali Mahamane Lamine Zein confirmed that Niger's new leadership is "optimistic" about starting talks with the ECOWAS group in the coming days.

In turn, the Nigerian edition of Cable indicated that Tchiani expressed his desire to diplomatically resolve the situation in the country that arose as a result of a coup d'état and the removal of Niger's President Mohamed Bazum from power . The rebel leader explained to the Nigerian delegation that "the coup was well-intentioned" and that the conspirators "strike to avert an imminent threat that would affect both Nigeria and Niger."

Earlier, IA Regnum reported that the rebels who seized power in Niger are going to file charges of high treason against the overthrown President Mohamed Bazum.

It was noted that ECOWAS postponed "for technical reasons" indefinitely the meeting of the heads of the general staffs of the states that are part of this community. The event was supposed to discuss further plans for the activation and deployment of the organization's reserve forces.
