Russia Emerges as Singular Source of 'Confidence' for Niger, Malian Analyst Says
On June 3, amid growing Russia-Niger relations, Brigadier General Abdourahamane Tiani, head of Niger's National Council for the Safeguard of the Homeland, welcomed a Russian delegation led by Deputy Defense Minister Colonel General Yunus-bek Yevkurov. The meeting resulted in a memorandum of multisectoral cooperation.
By moving closer to Moscow, Niger has the opportunity to have "an honest friend by its side, providing assistance," particularly in its fight against terrorism, a Malian expert Abdoul Diallo told Sputnik Africa.
"I draw a positive assessment from the meeting between General Tiani and the Russian delegation that went to Niamey," he explained, adding that "there has been a misreading of Russia by its competitors - the US, Europe, and other countries who are looking to protect selfish interests."
On Africa Day, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov announced the opening of Russian embassies in several African countries, including Niger. This follows the
expansion of Russia's presence in Africa and the strengthening of relations with the continent, especially in the West African country, particularly in military and humanitarian spheres.
