في 26 يوليو 2023، وقع انقلاب في النيجر، قام خلالها الحرس الرئاسي في البلاد بإقالة واعتقال الرئيس محمد بازوم. وبعدها، أعلن الجنرال عبد الرحمن تشياني، قائد الحرس الرئاسي، نفسه قائدا لـلمجلس العسكري، وأنشأ المجلس الوطني لحماية الوطن، بعد أن تاكد نجاح الانقلاب.[3][4][5][6]

رداً على الإنقلاب، أصدرت المجموعة الاقتصادية لدول غرب أفريقيا (الإيكواس) إنذاراً نهائياً في 30 يوليو، أعطت فيه مهلة مدتها أسبوع لقادة الانقلاب لإعادة بازوم إلى منصبه، مع وترافق الإنذار بتهديدات بفرض عقوبات دولية واحتمال اللجوء للقوة.[7][8] وعندما انقضى الموعد النهائي للإنذار في 6 أغسطس، لم يبدأ أي تدخل عسكري. لكن في 10 أغسطس، اتخذت المجموعة الاقتصادية لدول غرب أفريقيا اجراءات تفعيل قوات الاحتياط.[9][10][11][12]يُذكر أنه في 2017، قامت المجموعة الاقتصادية لدول غرب أفريقيا بتدخل عسكري لاستعادة الديمقراطية في غامبيا، بعد أزمة دستورية ضربت البلاد.

كما تعهدت جميع الدول الأعضاء في المجموعة الاقتصادية لدول غرب أفريقيا التي شاركت بالمبادرة، باستثناء الرأس الأخضر، بإشراك قواتها المسلحة في تدخل عسكري بقيادة المجموعة الاقتصادية لدول غرب أفريقيا ضد المجلس العسكري النيجيري.[13]في حال إطلاق المضي قدماٌ في عملية التخل العكسري. بالمقابل، أعلن المجلسان العسكريان في بوركينا فاسو ومالي أنهم سيرسلون قوات لدعم المجلس العسكري إذا شنت المجموعة أي حملة عسكرية على النيجر، كما أعلنت الدولتين مع النيجر تشكيل ميثاق دفاع مشترك.[14][15]

خلفية الأزمة

المقالة الرئيسية: انقلاب النيجر 2023

في يوم 26 يوليو 2023، أعلنت الرئاسة النيجيرية أن الحرس الرئاسي، بقيادة الجنرال عبد الرحمن تشياني، شاركوا في حملة مناهضة للجمهورية. وجرى اعتقال الرئيس محمد بازوم وعائلته في القصر الرئاسي في العاصمة نيامي، كما اعتقال وزير الداخلية حمادو سولي. وقاد عملية الانقلاب عبد الرحمن تشياني الذي كان بازوم يخطط لإعفائه من منصبه.[16] وقالت مصادر مقربة من بازوم إنه قرر إقالة تشياني في اجتماع لمجلس الوزراء في 24 يوليو 2023 بسبب توتر العلاقة بينهما.[17][18][19]وأغلقت المركبات العسكرية القصر الرئاسي والوزارات المجاورة، بينما قام الحرس الرئاسي بتفريق أنصار بازوم المدنيين الذين حاولوا الاقتراب من القصر بإطلاق النار، ما أدى إلى إصابة شخص واحد. فيما حاصرت وحدات عسكرية موالية لبازوم المجمع الرئاسي.[18][19][20]

ولكن في المساء، أعلن قائد القوات الجوية في النيجر العقيد أمادو عبد الرحمن على شاشة التلفزيون الرسمي أن بازوم قد أقيل من السلطة، وأعلن عن تشكيل "المجلس الوطني لحماية الوطن"، وعزا ذلك إلى تدهور الوضع الأمني ​​وسوء إدارة الحكم. كما أعلن تعطيل دستور البلاد وتعليق عمل مؤسسات الدولة وإغلاق الحدود وحظر التجول على مستوى البلاد من الساعة 22:00 حتى 05:00 بالتوقيت المحلي، وحذر من أي تدخل أجنبي.[18][21][22] وفي وقت لاحق، صدر أمر بتعليق جميع أنشطة الأحزاب السياسية في البلاد حتى إشعار آخر.[23]

ورغم اعتقاله، رفض بازوم الاستقالة.[24]وقال وزير خارجيته حسومي مسعودو لـفرانس 24 إن "السلطة القانونية والشرعي" للبلاد تظل في أيدي الرئيس.[25] وأعلن وزير الخارجية نفسه القائم بأعمال رئيس الدولة ودعا إلى مقاومة الانقلاب.[24]إلا أن قيادة القوات المسلحة النيجرية أعلنت دعمها للانقلاب لحماية حياة الرئيس وتجنب "صدامات قاتلة".[26]

وفي 28 يوليو، أعلن تشياني نفسه رئيساً للمجلس العسكري، قائلاً إنه عزل بازوم لتجنب "الإنهيار التدريجي والحتمي" للبلاد واتهم بازوم بالتستر على وضع البلاد. كما لم يقدم تشياني جدولا زمنيا للعودة إلى الحكم المدني.[27][28][6]


المجموعة الاقتصادية لدول غرب أفريقيا

إن المجموعة الاقتصادية لدول غرب أفريقيا (إيكواس) هي اتحاد إقليمي وسياسي واقتصادي يضم خمسة عشر دولة في غرب أفريقيا، وتغطي مساحة 5,114,162 km2 (1,974,589 sq mi) ويقدر مجموع عدد سكان دولها بأكثر من 387 مليون نسمة في عام 2019. وتهدف المجموعة، التي تأسست عام 1975، إلى تحقيق الاكتفاء الذاتي الجماعي لدولها الأعضاء من خلال إنشاء كتلة تجارية واحدة.[29][30]

وتعمل "إيكواس" كقوة حفظ سلام في المنطقة، حيث ترسل الدول الأعضاء أحياناً قوات عسكرية مشتركة للتدخل في دول الكتلة إذا عانت منحالات عدم الاستقرار السياسي أو الاضرابات. وفي السنوات الأخيرة، شملت هذه التدخلات في الحرب الأهلية في سيراليون عام 1997، والحرب الأهلية في ساحل العاج في عام 2003، والحرب الأهلية في ليبيريا عام 1990، و 2003، والحرب الأهلية في غينيا بيساو عام 1999، وانقلاب غينيا بيساو 2012، كذلك صراع مالي 2013، وفي غامبيا في عام 2017.[31][32][33]

الوضع الأمني

تدخلت الولايات المتحدة وفرنسا والعديد من الدول والجماعات في النيجر بسبب التمرد الإسلامي في منطقة الساحل، وأدت هذه التدخلات إلى ظهور التمرد الجهادي في النيجر بقيادة تنظيم القاعدة، وداعش، وبوكو حرام.[34][35][36][37] وتملك كل من الولايات المتحدة وفرنسا وتركيا قواعد عسكرية في النيجر. وفي عام 2022، أصبحت مركزاً لعمليات مكافحة الإرهاب الفرنسية بعد خروجها من مالي وبوركينا فاسو إثر سلسلة من الانقلابات العسكرية.[38] ومهد السخط من السياسات الفرنسية، الطريق للنفوذ الروسي ودخول شركة المرتزقة الخاصة التابعة لها مجموعة فاغنر في المنطقة.[39]وفي الوقت نفسه، مهدت الطريق لتوسيع النفوذ التركي في المنطقة.[40][41][42]

Timeline

29 July

The military junta accused ECOWAS in a statement read by Abdramane on Télé Sahel of planning to approve "a plan of aggression against Niger through an imminent military intervention in Niamey supported by certain Western countries" and warned of the junta's "strong determination" to defend the country. They claimed that this was the objective of the ECOWAS summit convened for the following day.[43]

The African Union Peace and Security Council issued an ultimatum that if the soldiers did not "immediately and unconditionally return to their barracks and restore constitutional democracy, within a maximum of fifteen days" that the bloc would be compelled to take "necessary action, including punitive measures against perpetrators".[44]

Members of the United Nations Security Council strongly condemned the coup and expressed support for ECOWAS and the AU.[45]

30 July

ECOWAS ultimatum and sanctions

On 30 July, ECOWAS issued the Nigerien military junta with an ultimatum that Bazoum be reinstated as president within one week. In a communiqué read by ECOWAS Commission chairperson Omar Touray, at the Extraordinary Summit convened in Abuja in response to the coup, they said that if their demands were not met they would "take all measures necessary to restore constitutional order" in Niger and that "such measures may include the use of force".[46][47] The response from the bloc towards the junta drastically differed from the measures taken with recent coups in Mali, Burkina Faso, and Guinea which did not involve the threat of force for reinstating the overthrown government.[48]

ECOWAS also announced "immediate sanctions" on Niger, including the closure of land and air borders, imposition of a no-fly zone on all commercial flights to and from Niger and the suspension of all commercial and financial transactions between ECOWAS and Niger.[49] The assets of Niger state enterprises were frozen by the ECOWAS Central Bank, leading to the cancellation of a 30 billion CFA francs ($51 million) bond issuance.[50]

Pro-coup demonstrations in Niamey

In a march at the request of Tchiani and organized by the M62 Movement, which had previously opposed Bazoum's government and Operation Barkhane and supported the Russian invasion of Ukraine, thousands of pro-coup Nigeriens gathered in Niamey's Place de la Concertation, in front of the National Assembly, and went to the French Embassy carrying Nigerien, Russian and North Korean flags, with slogans such as "Down with France, out with Barkhane, we don't care about ECOWAS, the European Union and the African Union!", "Arrest the former dignitaries to return the stolen millions.", and "Down with France, long live Putin!".[51][52][53][54] The demonstrators also called for an immediate intervention by the Wagner Group.[52] During the march, the entrances to the French and American embassies were closed.[51] The French embassy's walls and gates were set ablaze and damaged whilst Nigerien soldiers and General Salifou Modi were seen on the ground urging the crowds to disperse peacefully.[53] The crowd left after police fired volleys of tear gas in response.[49] Images showed people being loaded into ambulances with bloodied legs.[49]

In response to the attack on its embassy, the French government warned that attacks on its nationals, military personnel, diplomats and interests would lead to an immediate and intractable response.[55]

31 July

On the behest of ECOWAS, Chad's president Mahamat Déby met with Tchiani and Bazoum at the presidential palace in Niamey. The Chadian Presidency released pictures of the meeting, marking Bazoum's first appearance since the coup.[56] Meanwhile, Colonel Abdremane accused Hassoumi Massaoudou, still claiming to be acting leader substituting for Bazoum, of authorizing a French attack on the presidential palace to liberate Bazoum.[57] The French Foreign Ministry denied there were any such plans.[58]

Bazoum's oil minister Mahamane Sani Mahamadou (son of former president Mahamadou Issoufou), mining minister Ousseini Hadizatou and the head of the PNDS national executive committee, Foumakoye Gado were arrested by the military junta. This followed the arrests of Transport Minister Oumarou Malam Alma and former defense minister Kalla Moutari the previous week.[59][60]

The Central Bank of West African States (BCEAO) cancelled a planned 30 billion CFA franc ($51 million) bond issuance by Niger in the West African regional debt market.[61]

1 August

The military junta announced that it had reopened Niger's borders with Algeria, Burkina Faso, Mali, Libya, and Chad.[62]

2 August

Rolling blackouts were reported across cities in Niger, which the state electricity company Nigelec blamed on Nigeria cutting off supplies. While the Transmission Company of Nigeria declined to comment, an anonymous source told the BBC that the move followed a directive from President Bola Tinubu.[63] The World Bank suspended disbursements to Niger until further notice.[64]

Military chiefs of ECOWAS member states met in Abuja, Nigeria, to discuss the situation in Niger.[65] At the same time, a confidential military signal was picked up by Inside Nigeria, giving orders to the Nigerian military to name units for a military operation against Niger, mobilize the armed forces and establish a no-fly zone.[66] Hours later, Ivory Coast issued a statement in which it supported the ECOWAS sanctions and announced the country's participation in a preparation for a military intervention in Niger.[67]

A delegation of the Nigerien military junta headed by General Salifou Mody traveled to Bamako, Mali,[68] and then to Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.[69] Speculation arose as to whether they went to ask for the support of the Wagner Group, which has a presence in Mali.[70]

In a televised address, Tchiani called the sanctions imposed on the country "cynical and iniquitous" and said they were intended to "humiliate" Niger's security forces and make the country "ungovernable". He insisted that his regime would not give in to such threats[71] and called on citizens to defend the country.[72]

ECOWAS sent another delegation to Niger to negotiate with the junta, this time led by former Nigerian military leader Abdulsalami Abubakar and also including the Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammadu Sa'ad Abubakar, and Omar Touray, president of the ECOWAS Commission.[73] Abdel-Fatau Musah, ECOWAS Commissioner for Political Affairs, Peace and Security said that "The military option is the very last option on the table, the last resort, but we have to prepare for the eventuality."[74] However, the delegates failed to meet with Tchiani and other junta members and left the same day.[75]

Another pro-coup demonstration was held in Niamey's Independence Square on the occasion of Niger's 63rd Independence Day.[76] This time, security forces blocked roads leading to the French and U.S. embassies to prevent attacks and vandalism.[77]

The military junta blocked France 24 and Radio France Internationale (RFI) in Niger, as had happened months before in Mali and Burkina Faso. France 24 was followed weekly by a quarter of the Nigerien population and RFI was the most followed international station in the country. France Médias Monde, the owner of both media networks, protested the decision.[79]

The junta also announced Niger's withdrawal from its military agreements with France, notably those allowing French troops to be stationed in the country and regulating the status of military personnel fighting Islamist jihad on Nigerien soil.[80] In a separate announcement, after peace talks failed, it ordered the withdrawal of Niger's ambassadors to France, Nigeria, Togo and the United States.[81][82] In response, France said that it took note of the junta's actions, but proceeded to remind them that the deals were signed between "legitimate" authorities.[83]

In an opinion piece published in The Washington Post, Bazoum, calling himself a "hostage", called on the United States and the international community to restore constitutional order in Niger, warning that the coup would have devastating domestic and international consequences.[84]

The Nigerian Senate rejected President Tinubu's request to authorize military intervention in Niger, instead urging him to resolve the crisis by more diplomatic means and to "tread with caution".[92] However, the Constitution of Nigeria still permits the President to deploy troops abroad without Senate approval if the President believes the national security is under "imminent threat or danger". A group of senators representing regions near or bordering Niger stated their opposition to military intervention.[93]

The junta also did not allow her to meet with Bazoum and described him as under "virtual house arrest".[106][107]

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Washington supported West African efforts to restore constitutional order in Niger. In a separate interview with the BBC, Blinken also said that while the United States did not believe the Nigerien coup was instigated by Russia or the Wagner Group, they had tried to take advantage of it, warning that adverse consequences would follow in the wake of the Wagner Group's entry.[112][113]

9 August

Blinken said that he had spoken to Bazoum, demanding his release from detention and expressing support for a "peaceful resolution" to the crisis in Niger.[114]

Rhissa Ag Boula, former leader of the Front for the Liberation of Aïr and Azaouak (FLAA) that participated in two rebellions by the Tuareg people in the 1990s and the 2000s accused the junta of orchestrating a "tragedy" and announced the formation of a Council of Resistance for the Republic (CRR), which aimed to topple the junta and restore Bazoum to office. He also said that it supported international intervention by ECOWAS and other actors in doing so. Another CRR member said several Nigerien political figures had joined the group but refused to come out publicly for safety reasons.[115]

إجلاء الرعايا الأجانب

في 1 أغسطس، أعلنت وزارة الخارجية الفرنسية أنها تستعد لإجلاء مواطنيها ورعايا أوروبيين آخرين ابتداء اليوم، مشيرة إلى الاضطرابات في نيامي، والهجوم على سفارتها، وإغلاق المجال الجوي للنيجر.[259]

قميا قالت وزارة الدفاع الإسبانية إنها ستقوم بإجلاء أكثر من 70 مواطنا إسباني من النيجر جواً.[260]ونقل مواطن روماني من بين الأشخاص الذين تم إجلاؤهم من قبل إسبانيا.[261]

في 2 أغسطس، نفذت أولى رحلات الإخلاء، حيث هبطت طائرة عسكرية إيطالية في روما وعلى متنها 87 شخصاً تم إجلاؤهم.[262] و262 شخصاً تم إجلاؤهم وصلوا على متن رحلة إجلاء فرنسية إلى باريس.[263] وفي المجمل، قامت فرنسا بإجلاء 1079 شخصاً.[264][265][266] وكان من بين الفرنسيين الذين تم إجلاؤهم أربعة مواطنين من رومانيا.[267] كما أمرت وزارة الخارجية الأمريكية بإجلاء الموظفين الحكوميين غير الأساسيين وأفراد أسرهم المؤهلين من سفارتها، والتي أعلنت أنها ستظل مفتوحة أمام "خدمات الطوارئ المحدودة للمواطنين الأمريكيين".[268] كما أمرت المملكة المتحدة بتخفيض عدد الموظفين في سفارتها.[269]

وردًا على عمليات الإجلاء، دعت حركة M62 إلى فرض حصار سلمي على مطار نيامي الدولي حتى "مغادرة القوات العسكرية الأجنبية البلاد".[270]

الإشاعات

خلال الأزمة انتشر تداول الادعاءات الكاذبة عبر الإنترنت مما أدى إلى تفاقم التوترات الناجمة عن الأزمة.[271][272][273][274]

  • ادعى العديد من مستخدمي وسائل التواصل الاجتماعي أن قوات مجموعة فاغنر جرى نشرها في نيامي من خلال مقطع فيديو لطائرة القوات الجوية الروسية إليوشن-76 وهي تهبط في مطار نيامي الدولي. حدد مدققو الحقائق من بي بي سي لاحقاً مقطع الفيديو هذا على أنه لقطات من عام 2006 سجلت في الخرطوم، بالسودان.[271] كما تم استخدام لقطات فيديو قديمة لمرتزقة مجموعة فاغنر في أفريقيا وأوكرانيا للادعاء كذباً بأن المجموعة كانت في النيجر.[271]وعلى نحو مماثل، صدرت ادعاءات كاذبة أيضاً بشأن هبوط طائرات مقاتلة فرنسية في السنغال لدعم تدخل الجماعة الاقتصادية لدول غرب أفريقيا، ووصول قوات من بوركينا فاسو إلى النيجر للدفاع عن المجلس العسكري.[274]
  • بدأت ادعاءات كاذبة تنتشر بأن المجلس العسكري النيجري أمر الجيش باحتجاز المواطنين الأوروبيين. وزُعم أن ذلك جرى للضغط على الدول الغربية لتسحب قواتها العسكرية من النيجر. ويبدو أن هذا الادعاء يستند إلى مطلب قدمته حركة M62 المناهضة لفرنسا والمؤيدة للمجلس العسكري باحتجاز المواطنين الأوروبيين كرهائن حتى انسحاب القوات الأجنبية. لكن فإن المجموعة لا تتحدث باسم المجلس العسكري، حيث صرح زعيم المجلس العسكري تشياني أن المواطنين الفرنسيين "لم يكونوا يشكلةن لأدنى تهديد" وليس لديهم ما يخشونه.[271][275]
  • تشير الادعاءات الكاذبة المنشورة على الإنترنت إلى أن المجلس العسكري "حظر بأثر فوري تصدير اليورانيوم إلى فرنسا". ولا يوجد دليل على أن المجلس العسكري قد فعل ذلك.[271][273][276]وقد تم تقديم ادعاء مماثل مفاده أن بوركينا فاسو ومالي أعلنتا حظر تصدير اليورانيوم، على الرغم من عدم امتلاك أي من البلدين لأي مناجم نشطة لليورانيوم. بالإضافة إلى ذلك، انتشرت على نطاق واسع ادعاءات كاذبة بأن النيجر ومالي وبوركينا فاسو حظرت جميع صادرات الذهب.[277]
  • وظهرت ادعاءات حول الجزائر، وتحليلات تشير بأنها ستدعم المجلس العسكري في حالة حدوث غزو أجنبي، بحسب "وسائل إعلام جزائرية". وعلى الرغم من أن الجزائر أعلنت أنها تعارض العمل العسكري، إلا أنها لم تذكر صراحة أنه في حالة اتخاذ مثل هذا الإجراء، أنها ستدعم المجلس العسكري.[271]عوكان الرئيس الجزائري عبد المجيد تبون قد أدان الانقلاب رسمياً، إلا أنه أدان أيضاً العمل العسكري ضد المجلس العسكري وعرض التوسط معه ووضح أن التدخل يمكن ان يكون تكراراً لـالوضع في ليبيا.[278][279]
  • تبين أن لقطات التقطها أحد الهواة لمظاهرة كبيرة مؤيدة لبازوم في نيامي بتاريخ 6 أغسطس تعود ليوم الإطاحة ببازوم في 26 يوليو.[274]
  • مقطع فيديو يُزعم أنه يظهر وزير مالية بازوم وهو يبكي بعد أن هدده المجلس العسكري بالإعدام بسبب الأموال المفقودة، تبين أنه مأخوذ من عام 2021 يظهر وزير العدل السابق مارو أمادو وهو يعرب عن امتنانه للرئيس السابق محمدو إيسوفو.[274]
  • تقارير عن المجلس العسكري، بأنه أمر بطرد السفير الألماني أوليفر شناكنبرج، وكذلك ضرد السفير الأمريكي كاثلين فيتزجيبون والسفير النيجيري محمد عثمان باعتبارهما كاذبين من قبل وزارة الخارجية النيجيرية.[280]

المصادر التي تم تحديدها

قبل الانقلاب، كان بازوم قد اتهم مجموعة فاغنر برعاية "حملات تضليل" ضده وضد حكومته. تشمل المصادر الأخرى المرتبطة بالمجلس العسكري المجموعة الأفريقية للتجارة والاستثمار (GPCI)، وهي شركة إعلامية أسسها رجل الأعمال البوركينابي الموالي لروسيا هارونا دوامبا، والقناة التليفزيونية الأفريقية أفريك ميديا ​​ومقرها في الكاميرون، التي أبلغت بشكل خاطئ عن استقالة بازوم في 9 أغسطس، ولديها شراكة مع وسائل الإعلام الروسية التي تسيطر عليها القناة الحكومية روسيا اليوم.[274]

Impact

At least 4.3 million people in Niger are in need of aid including access to food, medicine, and basic goods. According to the United Nations, the figure is likely to rise as international sanctions come into effect. Airspace closure by the junta also complicates efforts to bring humanitarian aid into the country.[281][282] By 1 September it was reported that 7,300 tons of food aid was blocked from entering the country due to sanctions while food prices increased by an estimated 21 percent.[283] Niger's food exports, particularly that of onions, have also been affected by sanctions, with prices in neighboring recipient countries such as Ghana doubling as a result of blockages.[284]
