African Union Suspends Niger Over Military coup
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

 

The African Union (AU,) Commission on Tuesday suspended Niger Republic from the pan-African bloc over the recent military coup in the country which ousted democratically elected President Mohamed Bazoum.

The commission said the suspension will remain in effect until normal constitutional order is restored in the nation.

According to an announcement from the AU, the Peace and Security Council of the AU Commission decided to suspend Niger from membership during its most recent meeting, which focused on the circumstances in the nation of western Africa.

The council decided “to immediately suspend the participation of Niger from all activities of the AU and its organs and institutions until the effective restoration of constitutional order in the country.”

It reiterated its “unequivocal condemnation” of the military coup that took place on July 26 in Niger, which resulted in the ousting of democratically elected President Mohamed Bazoum by a faction of military officers.

The council reaffirmed its full solidarity with the efforts of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) in its continued commitment to the restoration of constitutional order through diplomatic means.

“The council strongly rejected any external interference by any actor or any country outside the continent in the peace and security affairs in Africa.

“It also rejects engagements by private military companies in the continent in line with the 1977 OAU Convention for the Elimination of Mercenarism in Africa, the statement said.

The Organisation of African Unity, OAU, was the predecessor of the AU.

It urged the military to place the supreme interests of Niger and its people above all else and to immediately and unconditionally return to the barracks, and submit to civilian authorities consistent with the constitution of Niger.

The council also reiterated its deep concern over the resurgence of military coups as it undermines democracy, peace, security and stability, as well as development in the continent, the statement added.
