ECOWAS denies transition period for Niger rebels
[Regnum] The information that Nigerian President and ECOWAS Chairman Bola Tinubu allegedly offered the rebels in Niger a transitional period of nine months was denied by the organization. The corresponding ECOWAS communiqué was published on August 31 on the X social network (formerly Twitter).
The document clarifies that a report allegedly published by Agence France-Presse (AFP) about a "so-called transitional period" should be treated as fake news.
“The demand of the ECOWAS Council of Heads of State and Government is clear: the military authorities in Niger must immediately restore constitutional order by releasing and reinstating President Mohamed Bazum,” the organization said in a statement.
Earlier, IA Regnum reported that the rebels who came to power in Niger as a result of a coup d'etat banned the activities of national non-governmental organizations (NGOs), international organizations and UN agencies in the areas of military operations.
In addition, the National Council for the Salvation of the Motherland (NSSR), formed by the rebels in Niger, demanded that France withdraw its troops from the territory of the republic before September 3.
For its part, France is determined to support strongly any efforts of the states that are members of ECOWAS, including military ones, to restore constitutional order in Niger.

Rebels in Niger ban international organizations
The activities of national non-governmental organizations (NGOs), international organizations and UN agencies were banned by the military who came to power as a result of a coup d'état in Niger. This was reported on August 31 by Agence France-Presse.
“Due to the current security situation and the ongoing performance of the assigned tasks by the Niger Armed Forces, the Ministry informs the international organizations, national and international NGOs and UN agencies located in Niger that their activities and movements in the areas of (military) operations are temporarily suspended,” — said in a statement by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, formed by the rebels of Niger.
The document does not specify which regions of the country the decree applies to.
Earlier, IA Regnum reported that the National Council for the Salvation of the Motherland (NSSR), formed by the rebels in Niger, demanded that France withdraw its troops from the territory of the republic before September 3.
It is noted that the inhabitants of Niger are increasingly expressing dissatisfaction with the presence of the French military in the country. Local authorities are calling for them to block access to food, electricity and water at their base in Niamey in order to force French troops to leave Niger.
On August 30, the Niger Military Council annulled the agreement on the military presence of French troops in the country.
