THE Egyptian Foreign Ministry has stressed the importance of adopting dialogue to reach a peaceful resolution of the crisis in Niger.
“Egypt boosts all efforts exerted to defuse tensions in a way that promotes the democratic order and the sovereignty and stability of Niger and prevents escalations that could shake regional security,’’ the ministry said in a statement.
Earlier on Tuesday, The African Union (AU) Commission suspended Niger from the pan-African bloc until normal constitutional order is restored in the country following the latest military coup.
The coup took place on July 26, resulting in the ousting of democratically-elected President Mohamed Bazoum by a faction of military officers. (Xinhua/NAN)
