Three West African nations in Guinean Burkina-Faso and Mali ruled by mutinous Soldiers, have vowed a mutual military action if West African leaders carry out any military intervention in Niger. 

Mamady Doumbouya is a Guinean military officer serving as the interim president of Guinea since 1 October 2021. Colonel Assimi Goïta is a Malian military officer who has been interim President of Mali since 28 May 2021.  

While Ibrahim Traoré (born c. 1988) is a Burkinabé military officer who has been the interim leader of Burkina Faso since the 30 September 2022 coup d’état which ousted interim president Paul-Henri Sandaogo Damiba. 

On Monday, the trio said a military intervention in Niger would be considered a “declaration of war” against them, as the junta attempts to consolidate power after a coup last week. 

The West African regional body known as ECOWAS announced travel and economic sanctions against Niger on Sunday over the coup, and said it would use force if the coup leaders don’t reinstate Bazoum within one week.  

Deposed president Bazoum’s government was one of the West’s last democratic partners against West African extremists. 

In a joint statement from the military governments of Mali and 

Burkina Faso, the two countries wrote that “any military intervention against Niger will be considered as a declaration of war against Burkina Faso and Mali.” 

Col. Abdoulaye Maiga, Mali’s state minister for Territorial 

Administration and Decentralisation read the joint statement on Malian state TV Monday evening. The two countries also denounced ECOWAS economic sanctions as “illegal, illegitimate, and inhumane” and refused to apply them. 

Guinea’s Mamady Doumbouya later joined the call. 

On Sunday, Guinea, which is another country under military rule since 2021, issued a statement in support of Niger’s junta and urged ECOWAS to “come to its senses.” 

“The sanctions measures advocated by ECOWAS, including military intervention, are an option that would not be a solution to the current problem, but would lead to a human disaster whose consequences could extend beyond Niger’s borders,” said Ibrahima Sory Bangoura, general of the brigade in a statement from the ruling party. He added the Guinea would not apply the sanctions. 

In anticipation of the ECOWAS decision Sunday, thousands of pro-junta 

supporters took to the streets in Niamey, denouncing France, waving Russian flags along with signs reading “Down with France,” and supporting Russian President Vladimir Putin and telling the international community to stay away.
