In a recent development, Niger’s military junta has expelled the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) from the country, a move that has elicited significant criticism from various quarters.
Abdoulaye Marafa Danka, a retired ICRC employee, expressed profound dismay over this decision, highlighting a series of actions by the junta that he believes are detrimental to the nation’s well-being.
Danka’s statement draw attention to the junta’s departure from the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), the expulsion of French and American military personnel, and the detention of former President Mohamed Bazoum and his wife.
He also points to the closure of Western embassies, strained relations with neighboring countries, and the appointment of inexperienced individuals to governmental positions as areas of concern.
The expulsion of the ICRC marks a significant escalation, as Niger becomes the first nation globally to take such a step against this humanitarian organization.
Danka laments the junta’s actions, emphasizing the negative impact on the country’s international relations and the well-being of its citizens.
He calls upon the people of Niger to reflect on these developments and urges divine intervention to restore democracy, peace, and prosperity to the nation.Tap Here To Read Full Details
