'Niger Will Go to War With France:' General
Ibro Amado made this declaration before thousands of young people gathered at the stadium in Niamey, once again accusing Paris of seeking to destabilize Niger.
He emphasized that the government decree on mobilization, previously approved, was intended to prepare the country for war against France.
This declaration follows the attack on Niamey airport on the night of January 29. The Nigerien president had at that time accused France, Benin, and Côte d’Ivoire of financing the attackers, promising retaliation.
For its part, the French general staff rejected these accusations.
