Niger: Tiani and Putin discuss to “strengthen” security cooperation. General Tiani has led Niger since the overthrow of civilian President Mohamed Bazoum last July.
In mid-March, Niger denounced with “immediate effect” the military cooperation agreement with the United States. Niger, Burkina Faso and Mali announced at the end of January that they were leaving the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and founded a joint force against jihadist groups.
