Niger’s military junta has consolidated its authority by making cabinet appointments and rejecting calls for dialogue, as reported recently. This development follows the military’s seizure of power and suspension of the constitution, raising concerns about the country’s democratic future. The junta’s refusal to engage in talks underscores the challenges of resolving the political crisis through peaceful means. It also deepens uncertainties about Niger’s stability and the restoration of civilian rule. International observers are closely monitoring the situation, urging a return to constitutional governance and a peaceful resolution to the crisis to ensure the country’s stability and democratic principles are upheld.
