ECOWAS:Review military threats against Niger Republic-KACRAN


 By Yusuf A Yusuf, Damaturu


The Kulen Allah Cattle Rearers Association of Nigeria (KACRAN) has urged the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) to holistically review its military threats against Niger Republic amidst the Coup d’état crisis.

The National president KACRAN Hon. Khalil Mohammed Bello disclosed this in a statement thursday and made available to news men in damaturu 

The statement reads, “For almost three weeks now, the entire World’s attention has been drawn to the extremely sad situation in Niger, this has to do with the negative political development in the State where suddenly and undreamably the Military junta is in total negation to the consideration of the beautifully stipulated laws and regulations of the Republic where the juntas usurped the mantle of leadership from Alh Mohammad Bazoum, the democratically elected President of the Niger Republic.

"This is not as a result of Niger’s population, size, economy or military might but because of its fullest Operation of genuine democratic system of Governance which is only comparable to that of Europe where leaders are freely elected based on merit and the number of followers they have in the country.


 “The sincerity and charismatic nature of President Mohammad Bazoum who is actively and relentlessly day and night working assiduously towards maintaining peace in his country, Sahel region, Nigeria by promoting the economic and living standard of his people which the world bank classified/ranked her amongst the fastest growing economy within the entire African continent is another undeniable factor that give Niger Republic added advantage or upper hand in the International Politics.

 “It with deep respect in view of the above historical back ground of Niger Republic that we of Kulen Allah Cattle Rearers Association of Nigeria (KACRAN), wish to strongly call on the ECOWAS member States to wholistically review their stand on the economic sanction and possibility of taking military action against our beloved Neighbouring country, Niger.

 “We are totally not in support of any economic sanction against Niger Republic for the reason that the sanction would be more harmful and disastrous to the poor masses of Niger, Nigeria and her other neighbours than on the culprits and their surrogates. 

 “We are against any military intervention by ECOWAS or European countries for the reason that the said act would create more insecurity in Niger, Nigeria and other Sahelian states as this will lead to unnecessary fight between the intervention force and the Niger Republic army and the civilians who would be deluded by the military under the cover of nationalism to join the fight as volunteers.

 “There is a tendency that the process of restoring democracy in the said country under the able leadership of President Bazoum, the risk that the President and his good family might be affected. 

“The possibility of the success in the said military action is highly questionable, because even if they succeeded in bringing him back to power, they wouldn’t stay there permanently to depend his Government as we have seen in the cases of Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya.
