Niger: Attention to the opening of corridors for a question of humanitarian aid

 After the fall of Bazoum’s power, the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) imposed a series of sanctions against Niger, unprecedented in the history of humanity.

Sanctions, including the closure of land and air borders between ECOWAS countries and Niger; the establishment of an ECOWAS exclusion zone for all commercial flights to and from Niger; the suspension of all commercial and financial transactions between the ECOWAS Member States and Niger; the freezing of all service transactions including public services; the freezing of the Republic of Niger’s assets in the ECOWAS central banks; the freezing of the assets of the State of Niger as well as public and parapublic enterprises, housed in commercial banks; the suspension of Niger from all forms of financial assistance and transactions with all financial institutions, including the BIDC and the BOAD without forgetting the travel ban and the freezing of assets of military officers involved in the attempted coup.

With all these inhumane sanctions as each other, the so-called UN has found nothing abnormal to the point of calling to reason, the quarteron of the neo-colonized Heads of State, givers of lesson of democracy in the ECOWAS space.

The best it could do was to open a corridor to provide humanitarian assistance to the vulnerable population,Niger. We already know what is hiding last UN humanitarian aid operations. Especially at this time when France with the ECOWAS caquette wants at all costs to put Niger on fire and blood as it always has the habit.

If Togo wants to come to the aid of Niger, a sister country, knowing the position of the Togolese Head of State Faure Gnassingbé in relation to the military intervention, it is worth that it does it of its own initiative and not with the UN. Because Togo would be accountable what would happen, if ever this operation, it is a Trojan horse to blood Niger.

Niger has benefited from humanitarian aid for years. If the deposed President Bazoum ruled the country well to the point where his return is vital for the Nigerien people as the French President claims, then how is it that the country still needs humanitarian aid? Anyway, it would be a little too easy to lure the Nigerien authorities with the oil cans and some unfort.
