Statement by Mo Ibrahim on the coup d’état in Niger
Mo Ibrahim, in the statement he personally signed, Niger, noted that Niger, like most countries in the region, “faces several longstanding climate, economic and security challenges, which successive administrations have led the way in addressing.
“Nothing.” he said, “can justify the overthrowing of a democratically elected government”, just as said that the current situation risks undermining the progress in tackling some of the country’s most deeply entrenched challenges.
“Once again, we see armed forces in African countries turn their guns against their governments rather than protecting their own people and fighting terrorist threats.
“It is critical that the people of Niger’s right to democracy and stability is protected, constitutional order restored, and President Bazoum immediately re-instated, ” Mo Ibrahim concluded.
