The European Union (EU) has removed its ambassador from Niamey, the capital of Niger, due to tensions with the new leadership of the West African country. The government of Niger complains that European countries want to control the country through humanitarian aid.
On Friday, Niger's transitional government blamed the European Union for allocating 1.3 million euros in humanitarian aid without consulting the government. The statement of the government of Niger has accused the EU ambassador of inciting chaos by bribing non-governmental organizations and ignoring Niger's internal laws of transparency and the government's right to manage the affairs of the entire nation.
The European Union continues to ignore Niger's right to self-determination and has refused to transfer its aid to the designated colonies. After being pressured by the government of Niger to respect the country's laws, the European Union has refused and has decided to remove its ambassador in Niamey.
The government of Niger has said that the European Union's claim that it has a mission to help citizens is not true, but its main goal is to pressure the country's government through social organizations and bend the country's laws. The European Union has claimed that humanitarian aid should not be included in political issues, an issue that has been strongly opposed by the government of Niger, which has said that every country has the right to set laws to manage its affairs and foreign aid has been assigned specific rules that the European Union despises and you don't want to respect the laws of that country.
Niger's Ministry of Internal Affairs has released the information, without specifying the reasons for canceling the license. Another organization, APBE, also suffered from the red pen of the Niger administration to cancel its license.The Acted organization has been working in Niger since 2009, mainly dealing with people who have fled their homes in the West African nation hit by rebel violence.
Since the military regime came to power in July 2023 in Niger, it began to turn its back on France, and established relations with fellow activists Burkina Faso and Mali, as well as Russia.Also in June this year, Niger revoked the permission of the French energy company Orano to continue producing nuclear fuel in one of the largest uranium mines in the world.The relationship between Niger and France deteriorated further in July last year, after the army overthrew the president who the people of Niger were complaining strongly that he was a big puppet of France, Mohammad Bazoum.
