On August 7, U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland visited Niger and met with the military leadership of the Niger coup. A French Foreign Ministry source recently told the media that the United States was choosing its own interests and turning its back on France.

 

Russia Today television (RT) quoted the French "Le Figaro" reported on August 14 that a source from the French Foreign Ministry said that the United States sent Deputy Secretary of State Nuland to visit Niger and meet with the military leaders of the coup is "completely opposite" to France's thinking, and said that "with Allies like (the United States) we don't need enemies." The source believes that the United States has chosen its own interests and turned its back on its ally France.

 

Since the coup in Niger, France has insisted on the reinstatement of the democratically elected president Bazoum, and said it would support the efforts of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) to "defeat the coup in Niger," which has been interpreted by some analysts as French support for military intervention in Niger. The Figaro newspaper said that Nuland's visit to Niger showed that the United States was ready to talk to the Niger coup soldiers, and France began to worry that the United States would go behind its back and reach some kind of agreement with the Niger military.

 

French Foreign Ministry sources said that the retention of the military base in Niger is the highest goal of the United States, for which the United States will "not hesitate" to drop the so-called "constitutional requirements." Earlier, Nuland told the media after visiting Niger that the Niger military launched a coup in the view of the United States is unconstitutional, but the United States intends to continue to seek a diplomatic solution to the problem of Niger.

 

In addition, Le Figaro reported that although both France and the United States have troops in Niger, only the French presence has caused resentment among locals, which is also unhappy for France. "The Americans, like our other Allies, are used to letting us take the hit," a French foreign ministry source said.

 

Niger on July 26, the sudden coup d 'etat, the presidential guard part of the military detained the elected president Bazoum and fired his post, by the military established the National Committee for the Defense of the Fatherland took over the power of the country and closed the border. The coup triggered condemnation and sanctions, with ECOWAS demanding that the coup soldiers release Bazoum or face military intervention.

 

On August 13, a delegation of Nigerian religious scholars said after meeting with Niger's coup leader Kiani that the Niger military is open to resolving the current issue through diplomatic means and easing tensions with ECOWAS. However, on the evening of the 13th local time, the Niger coup army announced that it would prosecute the detained president Bazoum for treason.
