BREAKING: New envoy to co-ordinate US efforts in Niger A new US ambassador to Niger is expected to soon take up her role in the country’s capital, Niamey. Kathleen Fitzgibbon has been tasked with leading the US mission in Niger during what State Department deputy spokesperson Vedant Patel described as a critical time.
The envoy is also expected to co-ordinate the US government’s efforts in addressing the coup and supporting Americans stuck in Niger. Patel did not clarify when the new envoy would travel to Niger. However, he told reporters on Wednesday that her travel to Niger does not signal a change in the American government’s stance towards the military’s seizure of power.
Some views
Kathleen Fitzgibbon’s appointment as the new US ambassador to Niger raises eyebrows. While it’s evident the US is keen on securing its interests in the region, one can’t help but wonder: Is there a genuine commitment to improving the lives of Nigeriens? Or is this just another strategic move in the global chessboard? True diplomacy should prioritize the well-being of the people, not just political or economic gains
