Algeria Proposes Six-Month Transition Period in Niger
17:16 29.08.2023 (Updated: 17:20 29.08.2023) Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune has repeatedly stated his opposition to a military solution in Niger, citing the need for a peaceful restoration of constitutional order in the post-coup country.
Algeria has put forward an initiative to install a six-month transitional period in Niger under the supervision of the civilian authorities to resolve the crisis caused by the coup, Algerian Foreign Minister Ahmed Attaf has said.
The minister added that as per the plan, the civic authority should be governed by an agreed figure who will "contribute to the restoration of constitutional order."
The Algeria initiative also entails organizing an international conference on Sahel development to promote an improvement-oriented approach and mobilize the necessary means to ensure stability and sustainable security.
Attaf noted that Algeria is initiating active contacts to resolve the crisis in Niger on three fronts: within Niger, with neighboring countries and ECOWAS, and with
Muslim countries.
The top diplomat specified that Algerian officials have spoken three times to the Niger military leader since the coup.
Recently, Niger's military ruler Abdourahamane Tchiani, who came to power after the July coup and ousted the elected President Mohamed Bazoгm,
announced plans to return the country to civilian rule within three years.
The transit plan has not been accepted by ECOWAS, whose commissioner for political affairs Abdel-Fatau Musah
told media that the bloc considers the proposal a provocation.
Prior to that, ECOWAS, along with a number of Western nations, condemned the coup in Niger and agreed to deploy military forces to pressure coup leaders to restore Bazoum to power.
