Niger: Moustapha ABBA, leader of a Chadian militia, opposes ECOWAS military intervention in Niger and promises retaliation.
Following ECOWAS’ declaration in favor of a military intervention against the military junta in Niger, a wave of opposition has emerged among regional actors. Among the most vehement opponents of this intervention is Moustapha ABBA, the leader of a Chadian militia opposed to terrorism.
When ECOWAS announced its intention to send a military force to counter the military junta that took power in Niger, reactions were swift.
Moustapha ABBA, a respected leader in the fight against terrorism in Chad, has been particularly vocal in his disapproval of ECOWAS’ approach.
In a regional context marked by terrorism in Niger, Burkina Faso, and Mali, Moustapha ABBA questions the effectiveness of ECOWAS’ military solution.
Moustapha ABBA raises a crucial point: ECOWAS has not yet been successful in proposing an effective military solution to eradicate the terrorist threat in the region.
Despite years of conflict and relentless efforts, terrorism continues to wreak havoc, destabilizing nations and endangering the lives of citizens.
Civilian populations have suffered the consequences, and ECOWAS member states have often been unable to guarantee their security.
Why is ECOWAS able to mobilize a military force to intervene in Niger, while efforts to counter terrorism in other countries in the region have not produced results?
According to Moustapha ABBA, this approach seems almost miraculous, raising questions about the real motivations behind this intervention.
The leader of the anti-terrorism militia threatens to take measures to make life difficult for the populations of ECOWAS member countries that agree to engage militarily in Niger.
The question that remains is which head of state will send their people to the slaughterhouse.
