(Addis Ababa) 17 Agoosto 2023 – The Peace and Security Council (PSC) of the African Union has come out against the deployment of armed foreign troops to Niger, to free ousted President Mohamed Bazoum and restore constitutional order, the French outlet Le Monde reported on Wednesday.
The decision comes after the PSC met in the Ethiopian capital of Addis Ababa on Monday, to discuss the situation in Niamey and efforts to address it.
Golaha Nabadda iyo Ammaanka (PSC) ee Midowga Afrika ayaa ka soo horjeestay in ciidamo shisheeye oo hubeysan loo diro dalka Niger, si loo sii daayo madaxweynihii la afgembiyay ee Mohamed Bazoum, loona soo celiyo nidaamka dastuuriga ah, sida ay qortay jariidada Le Monde ee Faransiiska Arbacadii.
Go’aankan ayaa yimid ka dib markii guddiga PSC ay Isniintii ku kulmeen magaalada Addis Ababa ee xarunta dalka Itoobiya, iyagoo ka wada hadlay xaaladda magaalada Niamey iyo dadaallada wax looga qabanayo.
Bazoum ayaa 26-kii bishii July waxaa xilka ka tuuray xubno ka tirsan ilaalada madaxtooyada, taasoo ka careysiisay dowladaha reer galbeedka iyo qaar ka mid ah dowlad goboleedyada, kuwaasoo ku baaqay in afgambiga la afgambiyo.
Urur goboleedka ECOWAS ee galbeedka Afrika ayaa markii hore soo saaray muddo 7 maalmood ah oo ay ku qabteen hogaamiyayaasha afgambiga sameeyay, ka dibna waxa ay ku andacoodeen in ay iska diideen isku dayo wada xaajood ah. Maamulka gobolka ayaa ku hanjabay in ay awood u adeegsan doonaan in ay dib u soo celiyaan Bazoumkii la eryay, oo madaxda cusub ee militariga ay xireen tan iyo markii ay xukunka la wareegeen.
Bazoum was toppled on July 26 by members of his own presidential guard, provoking outrage from Western nations and some regional governments, which called for the coup to be overturned.
ECOWAS, the West African regional bloc, initially issued a 7-day deadline for the coup leaders to step down and then claimed they had rebuffed attempts at negotiation. The regional authority threatened to use force to reinstate the ousted Bazoum, whom the new military rulers have detained since taking power.
Toddobaadkii hore, ECOWAS waxay oggolaatay hawl-gelinta ciidan u taagan in loo adeegsado suurtagalnimada ka dhanka ah hoggaamiyeyaasha xagjirka ah, iyadoo madaxda ciidammada ururka ay kulmayaan Khamiista iyo Jimcaha si ay isugu diyaariyaan faragelin milateri haddii wada-xaajoodyadu fashilmaan.
Last week, ECOWAS authorized the activation of a stand-by force for potential use against the putsch leaders, with the bloc’s army chiefs meeting on Thursday and Friday to prepare for a military intervention if negotiations fail.
