Around 300 trucks of food and other materials crossed into Niger from Burkina Faso with many arriving in the capital, Niamey Sunday, according to a regional customs official.

The convoy of trucks departed from Burkina Faso, the last open border with Niger since the West African regional bloc imposed sanctions after mutinous soldiers overthrew the country's president last month.

But the route between Burkina Faso and Niger is lined with jihadi groups, making it dangerous to drive and requiring military escorts from both armies.


Niger’s coup was seen by the international community and ECOWAS as one too many and in addition to threatening a military invasion, the bloc has imposed severe economic and travel sanctions.

In the first six months of 2023, attacks on civilians were 49% lower than in the first six months of 2022, and the number of deaths 16% lower, according to the NGO Acled, which records the victims of conflicts around the world.

Western observers and partners, notably France, a privileged ally of the ousted regime which still has 1,500 troops in Niger, have highlighted these encouraging results.

This improvement is partly attributed to the strategy implemented by Mr Bazoum, the only one of its kind in the Sahel, to combat jihadist groups.

While the military regimes in neighbouring Mali and Burkina Faso are carrying out "anti-terrorist" operations that are accused of taking a heavy toll on civilian populations, Niger has opted for a policy of "extending a helping hand".

Peace agreements between communities, development projects, negotiations with leaders of armed groups... A strategy considered promising and appreciated by Western partners, but criticised in Niger, particularly within the army.

This present Nigeria government wants Niger people to suffer.

This is getting "seriouser" than expected.

Let's see how it goes.

Tinubu has pushed Nigeria to become a villain in this international diplomatic struggle. Niger will now be seeing Nigeria as enemy territory.

Expect them to dam the Niger river with full force. Maybe Tinubu has nothing to lose but it's Northern Nigeria that will suffer from the strained relationship.

Please, when is the war starting?
ECOWAS the toothless bulldog!

What war?, sanctions turned to hunger is a weapon of war, ask Miss Nigeria Bianca Onoh to tell you about the horrible woes her husband Odumegwu Ojukwu told her.

They fought with guns for 24 months, they surrendered to hunger in 6 months.

War is strategy, UN, EU, African Union, Ecowas, US sanctions, let’s see how long they last, before they start begging for food, then we attack.

It is a crime to post pictures of the hunger atrocities of the civil war of Nigeria, although a good fellow above me raskymonojendor posted a snippet picture for a reminder for the oblivious things like yourself.
