General Abdourahamane Tchiani<\/a>, leader of the Niger junta, has criticised sanctions imposed by the Economic Community of West Africa States (ECOWAS<\/a>), saying they were unjustified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He stated this in a televised broadcast on Saturday night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tchiani demanded restoration of electricity cut off by the Federal Government as part of the embargoes slammed on the coupists following the overthrow of President Mohamed Bazoum on July 26.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He spoke after meeting with a delegation of ECOWAS led by the former Head of State, General Abdulsalami Abubakar (rtd).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said the regional bloc\u2019s economic sanctions were unnecessary, adding that they were aimed at punishing the \u201cgood people\u201d of Niger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to him, children and other patients were dying in hospitals because of lack of electricity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said border closures make access to food, drugs and other essentials very difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the military takeover in Niger Republic, ECOWAS issued a seven-day ultimatum to the junta to reinstate the ousted President Bazoum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite pressures from the organisation and other countries, the military leaders in the country have refused to reinstate Bazoum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his 12-minute speech, Tchiani claimed ECOWAS was \u201cgetting ready to attack Niger by setting up an occupying army in collaboration with a foreign army.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI reaffirm here that our ambition is not to confiscate power. I also reaffirm our readiness to engage in any dialogue, as long as it takes into account the orientations desired by the proud and resilient people of Niger,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
