Protocol Breach: European Military Members Expelled for Unauthorized Entry into Niger

The decision to expel the military personnel comes after their return to Niamey, disregarding the termination of agreements between Niger and the European mission. The Ministry of Interior emphasizes the urgency of the situation by providing a strict 72-hour deadline for their departure.

EUCAP SAHEL, a European Union civilian mission, aims to provide support and assistance to security-related institutions in the Sahel region. The expulsion indicates a clear stance by the Nigerien government on upholding the sovereignty of its decisions and agreements.
