The Mo Ibrahim Foundation has condemned the coup d’état in Niger Republic.
The Foundation, in a statement issued by its founder, Mo Ibrahim, on Friday, July 28, 2023, stressed that “nothing can justify the overthrowing of a democratically elected government”.
It added: “The current situation risks undermining the progress in tackling some of the country’s most deeply entrenched challenges.
“Once again, we see armed forces in African countries turn their guns against their governments rather than protecting their own people and fighting terrorist threats.
“It is critical that the people of Niger’s right to democracy and stability is protected, constitutional order restored, and President Bazoum immediately re-instated.”
