Abdourahamane Tiani's inauguration as Niger's president "demonstrates that military leaders enjoy popular legitimacy." This viewpoint is supported by the meetings in the Alliance of Sahel States (AES) three member states, Issoufou Boubacar Kado Magagi, a Nigerien socio-economic and political analyst told Sputnik Africa.Reviewing the main points of Niger's Charter of Refoundation, the expert noted that it allows for the "beginning of a transitional period on a legal basis," which means the establishment of regulatory bodies aimed at "restoring effective democratic and economic governance."To achieve these goals, Niger will "take into account the sociocultural and economic realities of the AES countries," the analyst noted.However, Magagi thinks that old "democratic constitutional general elections" were associated with "looting of ballot boxes" and "falsification of protocols."

On Wednesday, General Abdourahamane Tiani promulgated the Charter of Refoundation of Niger, which stipulates him as the republic's president for a five-year term. The charter serves as the fundamental law governing public authorities during the transitional period and has constitutional value.
Abdourahamane Tiani's inauguration as Niger's president "demonstrates that military leaders enjoy popular legitimacy." This viewpoint is supported by the meetings in the Alliance of Sahel States (AES) three member states, Issoufou Boubacar Kado Magagi, a Nigerien socio-economic and political analyst told Sputnik Africa.
Reviewing the main points of Niger's Charter of Refoundation, the expert noted that it allows for the "beginning of a transitional period on a legal basis," which means the establishment of regulatory bodies aimed at "restoring effective democratic and economic governance."
To achieve these goals, Niger will "take into account the sociocultural and economic realities of the AES countries," the analyst noted.
"Niger has gone through several failed political combinations, but today we are witnessing a new era of democratic and economic governance," Magagi said, stressing that Niger is witnessing a "rupture with the old democratic order."
However, Magagi thinks that old "democratic constitutional general elections" were associated with "looting of ballot boxes" and "falsification of protocols."
