Niger Junta Gets Support From Russia; Putin Warns West-Backed ECOWAS Against Military Intervention

#niger
Russia has issued a big warning to the West-backed

ECOWAS bloc as it warned against any military intervention

in Niger. The Russian foreign ministry issued a statement

saying that a military solution to the crisis in Niger could

lead to a protracted confrontation in that African country,

and to a sharp destabilisation of the situation in the

Sahara-Sahel region as a whole. This as the ECOWAS bloc

of West African countries approved deployment of standby

forces as Junta continues to defy them and their backers in

the west. Watch the video for more.
