Général Abdourahmane Tiani : "Le Niger était une colonie (française) jusqu’au 26 juillet 2023"
Yesterday, Sunday, July 26, 2026, the military in power in Niger celebrated the third anniversary of their seizure of power. It was on July 26, 2023, that Abdourahmane Tiani's group overthrew the elected president, Mohamed Bazoum. Since then, this date has been celebrated as National Sovereignty and Patriotism Day.
"It is not up to an ECOWAS subservient and beholden to France to dictate the choices we make regarding our sovereignty."
In an interview given to the national press on the occasion, the Nigerien president, General Abdourahmane Tiani, once again launched a scathing attack on France, accusing it of having instrumentalized ECOWAS at the beginning of the crisis in Niger in 2023.
"They activated the ECOWAS puppet which, as early as July 30, 2023, had ordered the restoration of constitutional order. But what constitutional order exists in a colony, since Niger was a (French) colony until July 26, 2023? It is not up to an ECOWAS subservient and beholden to France to dictate the choices for our sovereignty," declared the Nigerien president.
