The death toll from the attack by militants on a military base in Niger has risen to at least 89 military personnel, surpassing the outcome of the attack that took place last month on the military as well; It killed 71 soldiers, becoming the largest attack on the country's armed forces in years.

All of this comes before the summit called by the French President "Macron", to meet with the heads of state of the G5 Sahel: Niger, Chad, Burkina Faso, Mali and Mauritania, to clarify their position on the presence of French forces in the region, to strengthen the legitimacy of the presence of French forces in it, and to urge the European allies to act, To counter the increase in jihadist attacks. Let everyone think that what happened was just a coincidence, or a targeted message!

The Maat Foundation for Peace, Development and Human Rights warned last month against a repetition of what happened, and called on the international community to shoulder its responsibility towards helping the Niger government, which cannot face security developments in the region on its own. And renewed calls for the necessity of increasing efforts to combat extremist groups in Niger, in parallel with combating other cross-border crimes such as trafficking in persons, weapons and drugs.
