Niger Government Approves Draft Decree on General Mobilization
"The decree is dictated by the need to preserve the integrity of national territory, sovereignty, and the protection of the population, institutions, and vital interests of the state from any internal or external threat," the local media quoted excerpts from the resolution. "It defines the procedure for organizing, preparing, and conducting a general mobilization."
The draft decree states that every citizen is obligated to comply with the provisions and measures related to general mobilization, including promptly responding to conscription orders.
It also provides for the possibility of requisitioning material resources and vehicles for the needs of the army.
To take effect, the decree must be signed by the head of state and published in the Official Gazette of the Republic of Niger.
🪖 The current strength of the Niger Armed Forces is 40,000. The country's leadership plans to increase the force to 100,000 by 2026.
