[RIA] The rebels who came to power in Niger, in the event of a foreign invasion, will be allowed to operate on their territory by the military from Mali and Burkina Faso, Agence France-Presse reports.

Earlier, the new head of Niger, General Abdurahman Tchiani, met with the foreign ministers of Mali and Burkina Faso who arrived in the country.

The foreign ministers "welcomed" the signing of the decree "allowing the defense and security forces of Burkina Faso and Mali to operate on the territory of Niger in the event of aggression," according to a statement issued by a representative of the Niger Foreign Ministry following the visit.

In late July, a Nigerian military group announced the removal of President Mohamed Bazum and the closure of the borders. Before that, the military of the presidential guard blocked the presidential palace in the capital, Niamey.

The commander of the presidential guard, General Abdurahman Tchiani, appeared on state television in Niger on July 28 as head of the "National Council for the Defense of the Fatherland" formed by the coup participants.

The leaders of most Western countries and the regional organization ECOWAS condemned the coup. In early August, the participants in the emergency meeting of the Chiefs of General Staff of the Armed Forces of the ECOWAS countries, held in Abuja (Nigeria), adopted a plan in case of military intervention in Niger.
