Ivory Coast Reacts to Niger Coup
Ivory Coast has ceased all trade with Niger, including the clearing of imported and exported products at customs.
On Tuesday, August 1, 2023, the Ivorian Minister of Trade and the Minister of Budget and State Portfolio signed a release disclosing the information.
The announcement said that the decision was made at an extraordinary session of ECOWAS heads of state and government on July 30, 2023.
According to the Ivorian Minister of Trade, the political situation in Niger has prompted the closure of both land and air borders and the suspension of all economic and financial activities between the Member States and Niger.
It goes on to say, “Under this decision, import and export operations, as well as customs clearance formalities for goods from and to Niger, are suspended until further notice.”
General Christopher Musa, the Chief of Staff of the Nigerian Army, has lately stated that his troops are prepared to invade Niger at the president’s (Bola Tinubu’s) command.
