Germany’s Interference Escalates: Baerbock Backs EU Sanctions Against Niger Junta
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock engaged in significant discussions regarding the recent coup in Niger. She held talks with key figures, including African Union Chair Moussa Faki Mahamat and U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken. In a notable move, Germany now supports European Union (EU) sanctions against the military junta responsible for the coup. This stance was officially declared by the foreign ministry through a post on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.

The primary objective of these discussions, as highlighted by the foreign ministry, was to restore the constitutional order in Niger. This initiative demonstrates Germany’s commitment to addressing the crisis and promoting stability in the region.

Furthermore, German development minister Svenja Schulze, during her visit to Abuja, engaged with representatives from the West African bloc ECOWAS. This interaction underscores Germany’s multifaceted approach to resolving the situation by engaging with regional partners.

The EU’s response to the coup has also evolved. Following the suspension of development and security cooperation, the EU now aims to implement sanctions against the individuals involved in the coup. This represents a coordinated effort to exert pressure and encourage a return to democratic governance.

The coup in Niger, which saw the removal of President Mohamed Bazoum by military officers on July 26, has faced international condemnation. Despite calls from influential entities such as the United Nations, ECOWAS, and Western powers, the military junta has resisted efforts to reinstate President Bazoum. This defiance prompted West African heads of state to mobilize a standby force, currently under discussion at a meeting of military chiefs in Ghana. Abdel-Fatau Musah, the ECOWAS Commissioner for Political Affairs, Peace, and Security, criticized the coup leaders for avoiding diplomatic dialogue and seeking justifications for their actions. Musah emphasized the preparedness of West African military and civilian forces, drawing on past deployments in countries like Gambia and Liberia.

German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock’s diplomatic efforts, alongside developments within the EU and West African bloc ECOWAS, reflect a comprehensive strategy to address the coup in Niger, restore stability, and advocate for the reestablishment of democratic governance.
