The junta judges that Antonio Guterres “went astray” by not letting the representative of Niger speak at the UN

The National Council for the Safeguarding of the Homeland (CNSP) released a video last night to respond to the refusal of the UN Secretary General to allow the representative of Niger to speak during the debates at the United Nations General Assembly. Representatives of African states spoke from the podium but Niger, led by a putschist junta not recognized by the UN, was finally canceled on Thursday at the last minute by the organization’s authorities. During this General Assembly, the military regime sent its new Minister of Foreign Affairs, Bakary Yaou Sangaré, who was the country’s representative to the UN before the July 26 coup.

« The Secretary General of the United Nations went astray in the exercise of his mission by obstructing the full participation of Niger in the work of the 78th session of the UN General AssemblyestimatedColonel Major Amadou Abdramane, member of the CNSP, at the microphone of RFI. Thus, in violation of the United Nations Charter, in particular the statutory rules for accreditation of a permanent representative to the United Nations and those governing the holding of sessions of the UN General Assembly, Mr. Antonio Guterres not only refused to take note of the official list of delegates from the Republic of Niger to the 78th session of the General Assembly, but above all acceded to the fanciful request of the former Minister of Affairs tending to revoke the permanent representative of Niger to the United Nations ».
