Crisis In Niger Republic by Porshpearl: 7:58pm On Aug 23, 2023
According to a source in Niger Republic, Dr. Abdoul Djibou, there has been reports from Dosso Regional Hospital and Cominak Hospital about the recent spike in infant mortality. According to him, over 40 babies die daily in Nigerien Hospitals since the Nigerian government cutoff Electricity supply to Niger and also closed its borders.

It has affected hospital badly as they’re unable to power their incubators and other life supporting equipment to assist these babies. He also mentioned that the closed borders has made it nearly impossible for hospitals to access petroleum products especially Diesel and Petrol to power their plants and generators.

This is aside the untold hardships that the general populace are grasping with in Niger. He has made a passionate appeal for the Nigerian government to reconsider its decision even though backed by the ECOWAS.

He stressed the need for the Nigerian government to remember that the people of Niger are more like an extension of northern Nigeria. In his opinion, he believed strongly that the ongoing negotiations with the Junta leaders will yield results and stressed the need for the negotiations to be intensified instead of beating the drums of war and upholding the current stiff sanctions that has now crippled the economy and the health sector especially.

This is unacceptable whoever advised Thiefiinubu to shut cut off electric power is wrong

These babies do not deserve to die, the electric power should be restored immediately

If this is real news, please Fg should consider them at least for the sake of the babies, and Niger I think you'll learn your lessons.
