The founder of Think tank Afrikajom Center was reacting to the junta’s decision to prosecute President Bazoum for high treason, but also that of ECOWAS to intervene militarily in Niger. It thus warns of the dangers that may arise from it.
Listening to civil society…
Alioune tINE believes that “ our common living space is very vulnerable, with high political, geopolitical and geostrategic stakes linked to resources, to the presence of very armed actors with divergent interests. In short, a cocktail of fire that should rather be extinguished. Protect civilians hard hit by sanctions. The junta must be pragmatic and attentive to civil society in Niger and West Africa. ECOWAS and the international community too« .
Finding the dynamics of peace…
For him, ” the crisis must be resolved through a major national debate between Nigeriens and West Africans, placing peace and stability in Niger and the sub-region above everything else. ECOWAS and the international community should help Nigeriens in this process to find the dynamics of peace and political and social stability to reach strong consensus to reconcile Nigeriens and West Africans. The solution is in the African palaver. Not elsewhere« .
