France will start to withdraw its troops from Niger this week.

A demonstrator holds placards, one of them reading"We don't want a coup anymore", outside Niger's embassy in support of the President of Niger Mohamed Bazoum in Paris, France, August 5, 2023.Relations between Niger and France – the former colonial ruler which maintained a military presence in the country, have broken down.

“It should be pointed out to national and international public opinion that since the announcement of this withdrawal plan, France has continued to deploy its forces in several ECOWAS countries as part of the preparations for an aggression against Niger that it is planning in collaboration with this community organisation.

“It’s absolutely concerning and international perspective with coups. It is not good, it creates uncertainty, it increases premiums however, it’s important to understand the causes of these coups and for me – the causes are created by increasing population and very little balance sheet growth in the countries concerned like Niger which has gone from 2.5 million population and almost 70 million by 2050. You see very little enterprises which provide opportunities to people in the future.
