Moscow favors the restoration of law and order in Niger as soon as possible and urges the parties to restrain themselves, Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said in a statement on Monday.
Peskov added that the situation with the
coup d'etat in the country was of serious concern to participants in the Russia-Africa summit.
"We are in favor of the restoration of the rule of law in the country as soon as possible, we are in favor of restraint on all sides so that it does not lead to human casualties," Peskov stressed.
The Russian official reaffirmed that Russia wants the West African country "to return to constitutional order and continue to fulfill the solution of those huge tasks that stand in the way of the development of this country."
"As far as the Kremlin is concerned, we are following this very closely, especially in the context of the fact that in the last week actually we have been very closely involved in African affairs together with the Africans. And, of course, what is happening there is of serious concern and was of serious concern to all participants in the summit," the Kremlin spokesman told reporters.
On Wednesday, members of the Nigerien presidential guard said in a statement broadcast on national television that they had overthrown the president, Mohamed Bazoum, closed borders and imposed a curfew in the country "until further notice."
It came hours after the presidential guard detained the president at his residence and sealed off access to public offices in Niamey.
