France suspends military cooperation with Niger until further notice

France suspends military cooperation with Niger until further notice A spokesman for the French military on Wednesday said that any cooperation with Niger in the fields of development and financial aid and military partnerships had been suspended until further notice. Col. Pierre Gaudilliere said that all military agreements had been made with “the democratically elected authorities in Niger and had been suspended while these authorities were not in power.” A two-day meeting of defence chiefs of the 15-member bloc opened on Wednesday in Nigeria’s capital to discuss next steps. Gaudilliere said French officials would be following the talks “very closely”.
