Niger Republic Left in Darkness: Power Supply Cut Off Amidst Coup Fallout and International Sanctions
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

In a significant development, the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has officially confirmed the termination of power supply to Niger Republic. According to TUC Kano State sub-region Public Relations Officer, Adam Umar El-yandiski, this decision is due to the fact that the power connection to Niger Republic is directly linked to the national grid and does not contribute to supplying power to any region within Nigeria.

The motive behind this move is to exert pressure on the military leaders who staged the coup in Niger. As tensions escalate, West Africa’s regional bloc has labeled military intervention in Niger as the “last resort.” However, amid growing concerns, France, the ex-colonial power, is actively evacuating its citizens from the country. On a similar note, the United States has ordered a partial evacuation of its embassy in Niamey, the capital of Niger.

The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has imposed trade and financial sanctions on the coup leaders, demanding the reinstatement of Niger’s democratically elected president within a week, under the threat of possible force. The military option is being viewed as the last resort, with ECOWAS taking cautious steps while preparing for any eventuality.

It’s crucial to note that Niger heavily relies on Nigeria for 70 percent of its power, making the power cut-off a significant challenge for the impoverished nation. In response, Mali and Burkina Faso, neighboring countries, have warned against any military intervention in Niger, viewing it as a declaration of war against them.

As the situation continues to unfold, Russia has called for urgent national dialogue in Niger, urging against threats of intervention that may exacerbate tensions. Meanwhile, the World Bank has suspended aid to Niger, excluding private sector partnerships.

While these measures may be seen as strict and controversial, many observers are expressing concern over the potential humanitarian consequences for the citizens of Niger, who may be left in darkness due to actions orchestrated by the military coup. The international community is closely monitoring the situation, awaiting further developments to see how much pressure Niger can bear before potential consequences unfold.
