Niger: France confirms its sponsorship of terrorism in the Sahel. The CNSP reveals a destabilization plan
All clearly indicates that France is the sponsor of terrorism in Sahel. Indeed,the military in power in Niger denounce the violation of their airspace by a French aircraft and expose France, which unilaterally released a group of imprisoned jihadists.
According to the new Nigerien authorities, these terrorists, after their release, participated in a «planning meeting» for an attack on military positions in the tri-border area between Niger, Burkina Faso, and Mali, in western Niger.
According to the CNSP statement, French forces took off a « military plane » from N’Djamena, Chad, at «6:01 am local time on Wednesday. This aircraft deliberately cut off contact with air control upon entering our airspace from 6:39 am to 11:15 am local time», it states.
In a statement, Paris rejects these accusations and declares: «The flight conducted this morning (Wednesday) was authorized and coordinated with the Nigerien army», and «no terrorists were released by French forces».
A denial that struggles to convince, given France’s role in the expansion of terrorism and its undermining of countries that reject its dominance, such as Burkina Faso and Mali.
As evidence, the «position of the Boukou National Guard« in the tri-border area was subjected to an attack. Even though the outcome of this cowardly and barbaric attack has not been established yet», the CNSP expresses indignation against this « true plan to destabilize our country, » with the aim to « discredit » it and « create a rupture with the people who support it, to create a sense of widespread insecurity. »
To prevent these devilish plans of the confirmed sponsor of terrorism in Sahel (France), which is not digesting its anger at having lost an ally and accomplice of terrorism, the CNSP calls on the Defense and Security Forces (DSF) to «increase their level of alert across the entire territory». To achieve this, it is also necessary for the «people to remain mobilized and vigilant» and not to give up in the joint struggle for the sovereignty of Niger and the African people.
