Protests have hit Kano State over the Economic Community of
West African States (ECOWAS) planned deployment of a standby military force in
Niger.
The protesters on Saturday embarked on a demonstration to
show their displeasure at the planned military invasion of the Niger Republic.
While moving in a procession, they chanted, “Nigeriens are
our brothers; Nigeriens are also our family.
“Niger is ours; we don’t want war; war against Niger is
injustice, a plot by the Western forces.”
They displayed Nigerian and Nigerian flags alongside
placards, chanting anti-war catchphrases.
Meanwhile, the Niger junta had announced a cut of diplomatic
ties with Nigeria.
Consequently, Nigeria cut the electricity supply to Niger.
Recall that on 26 July, the military junta overthrew Niger’s democratically elected President, Mohamed Bazoum.
