Niger: la junte au pouvoir annonce vouloir encadrer et former des groupes locaux d’autodéfense

AI Summary

medium article 2 min

Le régime militaire de Niamey au Niger a annoncé la création prochaine d'organisations territoriales d'autodéfense pour soutenir les forces armées dans la lutte antijihadiste. Ces groupes seront composés de volontaires, y compris d'anciens policiers, gendarmes, militaires et habitants des zones touchées par le terrorisme, qui recevront une formation et de l'équipement. Ils auront des missions de sensibilisation, de renseignement et d'autodéfense. Cette initiative s'inspire du Burkina Faso et intervient dans un contexte sécuritaire fragile au Niger, marqué par des attaques terroristes et le départ de diplomates étrangers. Le but est de renforcer la sécurité locale face à la menace jihadiste croissante.
