[HIGHLIGHTS] Niger: weapons seized in Niamey belonged to the European Eucap Sahel mission

Niger: weapons seized in Niamey belonged to the European Eucap Sahel mission. The search was carried out on February 19 and 20 in a villa in the Francophonie Extension district.

For the Nigerien authorities, these weapons are proof that France was preparing clandestine actions against the junta. In October, the National Council for the Safeguarding of the Homeland (CNSP) published a video on its official WhatsApp channel accusing France of training terrorists in the Sahel.
