The Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) has issued a warning to President Bola Tinubu-led Federal Government regarding potential military action in Niger Republic aimed at restoring ousted President Mohamed Bazoum to power.
On July 25, General Abdourahamane Tchiani-led Presidential Guard detained and took control of the government from Bazoum, prompting the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) to impose sanctions on Niger Republic and consider military intervention.
The Case for Diplomacy
In conclusion, CUPP strongly advocated for diplomacy as the preferred approach to resolving the political crisis in Niger Republic, asserting that military intervention would be impractical, unaffordable, and counterproductive to the stability of the region.
