Intox : La Cédéao dément avoir proposé une transition aux putschistes nigériens

24 Heures au Bénin - Fri, 09/01/2023 - 07:41

La Communauté économique des États de l'Afrique de l'Ouest (Cédéao) a démenti l'information diffusée par l'Agence France-Presse (AFP) selon laquelle le président de la Cédéao, le président nigérian Bola Tinubu, aurait proposé aux rebelles nigériens une période de transition de neuf mois.

"Un communiqué sur la soi-disant période de transition proposée par la Cédéao au Niger a attiré l'attention de la Commission de la Cédéao", a déclaré l'AFP. Le communiqué en français, qui aurait été publié par l'AFP, est faux et doit être traité comme une fausse nouvelle", a déclaré la Cédéao dans un communiqué publié sur le réseau social X (ex-Twitter).

"L'exigence du Conseil des chefs d'État et de gouvernement de la Cédéao est claire : les autorités militaires du Niger doivent immédiatement rétablir l'ordre constitutionnel en libérant et en rétablissant dans ses fonctions le président Mohamed Bazoum", souligne la déclaration.

Fin juillet, un groupe de militaires de la Garde présidentielle s'est mutiné au Niger et a annoncé la destitution de M. Bazoum. Le Conseil national pour la sauvegarde de la patrie, dirigé par le commandant de la Garde présidentielle Abdourahamane Tchiani, a été créé pour gouverner le pays. Les dirigeants de la Cédéao ont imposé de lourdes sanctions aux rebelles et ont exigé qu'ils libèrent M. Bazoum, menaçant de recourir à la force.
