"In Niamey [Niger's capital], I held extensive discussions with the leaders of the National Council for the Safeguard of the Homeland, including General Abdourahmane Tchiani, President Mohamed Bazoum, and former President Mahamadou Issoufou, in a brotherly spirit in order to explore all possible ways to find a peaceful solution to the crisis shaking this neighbor country," Deby tweeted.
