Niger to allow entry of more junta forces if invaded

Gen. Abdourahamane Tchiani, the leader of the coup in Niger, has issued an order permitting the military governments of Mali and Burkina Faso to send troops into his nation to assist in defending against an invasion.

Following their Thursday visits to Gen. Tchiani in Niamey, the foreign ministers of Burkina Faso, Olivia Rouamba, and Mali, Abdoulaye Diop, made the statement.

In order to restore Mohamed Bazoum, the democratically elected president of Niger, who was ousted by a handful of army officers last month, the West African regional grouping Ecowas has vowed to use force.

It has been attempting to negotiate with the coup leaders but has warned that if talks break down, it is prepared to send troops.
