ers of the Nigerien junta are calling for the mass mobilisation of citizens against the threat of military action by a west African regional bloc that is calling for the restoration of the country’s deposed president, Mohamed Bazoum.

With a delayed meeting of military chiefs of staff of the Ecowas bloc scheduled to take place later this week, regional tensions over the July coup against Bazoum appeared to be deepening, despite the junta’s efforts to suggest they were open to talks.

Following the expiry of an Ecowas ultimatum after the coup against Bazoum, led by of his presidential guard, the group activated a “standby force” to restore democracy in Niger but has yet to deploy it.

The latest moves in the crisis in the country – and a wider Sahel region that has been rocked by coups and jihadist insurgency – come amid tightening sanctions against Niger, even as representatives of the coup try to recruit regional backing.

On Tuesday, the junta-appointed Niger prime minister, Ali Mahaman Lamine Zeine, visited neighbouring Chad and met its president, Mahamat Idriss Déby, to seek .

Calls for mass mobilisation are being pushed by one of several civic society groups in the Nigerien capital, Niamey, which have come out in of the coup and have been used by the mutinous officers to rally to their cause, including organising mass demonstrations.

The new group, the Volunteers for the Defence of Niger, is seeking tens of thousands of volunteers from across the country to to the country’s armed forces. “It’s an eventuality. We need to be ready whenever it happens,” Amsarou Bako, one of the group’s founders, told Associated Press.

According to the group, the recruitment drive will launch on Saturday in Niamey as well as in cities where invasion forces might enter, such as near the borders with Nigeria and Benin, two countries that have said they would participate in an intervention.

Anyone 18 and over could and the list would be given to the junta to call upon people if needed, said Bako. The junta was not involved in the recruitment drive, but was aware of the initiative, he said.

It was unclear how serious the mobilisation call was or what it was intended to achieve beyond attempting to rally backing for the coup.

Funny.

As though the armies coming will walk in.

To me, that won't be necessary. They should listen to IBB and go about their business.

So, you believe it takes forever before a country can take delivery of such weapons? You think the military leaders would be waiting for Nigeria to invade them without making preparations to defend themselves?

Even if there is airstrikes against them, won't you bring boots on the ground? That's when you will see the real war.

Anyways, I don't see Hausas and Fulanis on both sides killing themselves because of the personal interest of a Yoruba man. They're not that foolish. So, expect the highest level of desertions, traitors and sabotage ever experienced in modern warfare.

Damnnn niggar

Tinubu don't know what he is about to put his hand into


Niger got alot of back up and friends
Burkina faso, Mali are ing them
Some powerful white nation are ing Niger
Wagner army from Russia dey with Niger

Even our Northern brothers here in Nigeria are ing Niger

When will they call for a national mobilisation against the terror groups ravaging their country.

We have enough unemployed Yoruba and Hausa Fulani youths...some are from benue we can recruit and recruit 50 million youths from these tribes for the Great holy war.

Those who voted this man must fight this war, sensible Yoruba christians and people of old Biafra region won't take part.

I'm a born again Nigerian.

Don't talk trash on my comment before I'm Long gone into ya ma pucci.

My own observation so far is, the deposed democratic leaders must have been so unpopular and unbeneficial to the masses for there to be so much for the military take over.

And besides, I've always thought that democracy is not always the best system of government, as it's not really about merit, but popularity.

Tinubu should send only yoruba moozlems to fight in Niger.
Cos they're d only ones ing his tomfoolery.

Interesting

Ok

Will the additional backers be more than ECOWAS MILITARY?

Make ecowas rest na rigging election is also a coup against people's choice .....if the people of Niger 🇳🇪 want military government The world should respect their decision afterall respecting people's choices is also part of democracy....this our kind of democracy is worse than military regime ...legislators shared 2million for holiday and they said is very small token...

It's about to get dirty.

Ebola Tinubu abeg commot body for Niger matter. Nigerians no want war with any of her neighbours

Will the additional backers be more than ECOWAS MILITARY?

Stop lying. Russia is not backing Niger republic. Russia and Wagner are no longer friends but enemies after Wagner tried to topple Putin's government using the element of suprise.

Look at the rubbish countries backing Niger Republic. Even Mali needs help. Despite Wagner military contractors, terrorists have taken over half of Mali.

During PDP era, terrorists were already carrying out bombing activities in Abuja. APC Government pushed them back to lake Chad and sambisa. Hail the Nigerian Army. 🪖

Please, let's tell ourselves the truth instead of being forever pessimistic daily from AM to PM. One thing I know is that Nigeria is not the worst Country on Earth as some would erroneously want you to believe. In fact Nigeria is better than so many of Countries in the World, I'm a Globe-Trotter that has been to wretched Countries and Great Countries. So, I know what I said for a fact.

Wait o let's even think about it, since Tinubu became president what POSITIVE news have we had?

Massive nationwide Butchering and Slaughtering of Nigerians like Rams by Fulani Herdsmen has been ruthlessly dealt with! Or Fulanis are still Raping and Killing People in your own Village and Town?! He gave Military Order to shoot at sight such killers that have no value for Human Life.
His istration has been focused 1st on Securing Nigerian Lives because when there is Life, Hope is guaranteed. But if Life is snuffed out of you as it would have continued if another Fulani had become President, how would you still be hoping for Pay Rise and Better Nigeria?

Let's all the Great President Tinubu as he moves to the next Phase which is Economy Diversification and Industrialization of the Country.
Like if you Agree.

Everyone should leave Niger alone

After some time they will come to their senses that military government ain't good for no one

✅

I will advice this Junta guy to calm and respect the Ecowas block. You can’t fight a whole region and win,is that simple.

You are poor and you want to fight a whole Ecowas block! Even if Russia comes to your aid,have you forgotten the sponsors of the Ecowas block who happen to be US & ?
