The leader of the coup that toppled Niger ‘s president said Wednesday that French citizens had no reason to leave the country, but rejected international sanctions, vowing not to bow to “threats”.

Economic Community of West African States (Ecowas) leaders have imposed trade and financial sanctions and threatened the use of force if the junta does not restore ousted President Mohamed Bazoum by Sunday.

Responding to the international sanctions imposed in response to the coup, General Abdourahamane Tiani said the National Council for the Safeguard of the Homeland (CNSP) “rejects these sanctions as a whole and refuses to give in to any threat, wherever it comes from”.

cynical and iniquitous

Speaking in a televised address, General Tiani said the sanctions were “cynical and iniquitous” and designed to “humiliate” the defence and security forces and Niger, and make the country “ungovernable”.

French people in Niger had never been subjected “to the least threat”, he added.

Democratically elected Bazoum, 63, was overthrown on July 26 when members of his own guard detained him at the presidency.

He reiterated in the speech that the deterioration of security in Niger had prompted the military to seize power.
