Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): Sheikh "Ibrahim Zakzaky", the Shia leader of Nigeria, warned on Friday night about the intrigues of America and France in disrupting the relations between Niger and Nigeria.
According to Al-Mayadeen network, he also said that Washington and Paris might use the Boko Haram terrorist group to worsen the crisis of relations between Niger and Nigeria.
He considered America and France to be the main cause of the crisis between his country and Niger.
Zakzaky stated: "It is clear that this war is not our war, but a war between America and France" and these two countries can cause a crisis between Nigeria and Niger.
The Shiite leader of Nigeria expressed his surprise at the actions of some countries to wage war against another country in the name of democracy and said: Despite the occurrence of several coups in Nigeria, no country has forced it to return to civilian rule.
He also stated that although Niger has closed its airspace, French planes still fly through the airspace of this country, and Paris has terrorist bases in Niger, which is the source of Boko Haram's attacks. A group whose attack is to seize underground resources to later divide these resources among themselves.
Zakzaky also expressed his concern about France's use of Boko Haram forces to attack Niger and said: Any military action on the borders of the two countries is the work of France and America, not Nigeria or Niger.
The Chiefs of Staff of the West African Community (ECOWAS) concluded their meeting on Friday in Accra, the capital of Ghana.
The military commanders of this group discussed the details of possible military attacks on Niger to restore the rule of law in this country.
In two days, the commanders of the army of the ECOWAS countries examined the ways of the return of the legal president of Niger, Mohammad Bazom, who was dismissed by the military council on July 26.
These commanders have announced their readiness for military action if diplomatic efforts in Niger to return to civilian rule are not fruitful.
The forces of the Presidential Guard of Niger 4th detained the president of this country, Asad Mohammad Bazom, inside the presidential palace and then removed him from his position.
Niger's military announced on the country's state television that the borders were closed and curfews were imposed after the removal of Bazom.
Niger's 6th Assad coup plotters appointed General Abdul Rahman Chiani as the head of the Transitional Council of this country.
Nigeria, Senegal, Ivory Coast and Benin have all expressed their willingness to send troops to Niger if ECOWAS makes a firm decision to return Bazom (who is reportedly being held hostage).
On the other hand, the countries of Burkina Faso and Mali, which share a border with Niger, declared their strong support for the military in Niger and refused to align with ECOWAS in this matter.
