Le plus haut diplomate de l’Union europ\u00e9enne a exprim\u00e9 lundi 18 septembre sa solidarit\u00e9 avec l’ambassadeur de France au Niger, qui a fait face \u00e0 d’intenses pressions apr\u00e8s avoir refus\u00e9 de se conformer \u00e0 un ordre d’expulsion des chefs militaires du Niger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00ab\u00a0Nous soulignons \u00e9galement une fois de plus notre solidarit\u00e9 en France concernant la situation de son ambassadeur sur le terrain, notre pleine solidarit\u00e9 avec la France et notre plein soutien au pr\u00e9sident Bazoum\u00a0\u00bb, a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 Josep Borell aux journalistes le 18 septembre apr\u00e8s la r\u00e9union des ministres des Affaires \u00e9trang\u00e8res du bloc en marge de l’Assembl\u00e9e g\u00e9n\u00e9rale des Nations Unies \u00e0 New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apr\u00e8s avoir limog\u00e9 le gouvernement \u00e9lu fin juillet, les militaires qui ont pris le pouvoir le 26 juillet ont annonc\u00e9 qu’ils expulsaient l’ambassadeur Sylvain Itt\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mais le d\u00e9lai de 48 heures s’est \u00e9coul\u00e9 sans que Paris ne le rappelle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
L\u2019ancienne puissance coloniale avait alors d\u00e9clar\u00e9 ne pas reconna\u00eetre l\u2019autorit\u00e9 des putschistes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
La junte militaire du Niger a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 avoir lev\u00e9 l\u2019immunit\u00e9 diplomatique de l\u2019ambassadeur de France et ordonn\u00e9 \u00e0 la police de l\u2019expulser. Le visa de Sylvain Itt\u00e9 et celui de sa famille ont \u00e9galement \u00e9t\u00e9 annul\u00e9s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Le pr\u00e9sident Emmanuel Macron a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 la semaine derni\u00e8re que l’ambassadeur \u00e9tait \u00ab retenu en otage \u00bb dans l’ambassade, vivant de rations militaires apr\u00e8s que l’arm\u00e9e ait interrompu les livraisons de fournitures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Josep Borell a \u00e9galement renouvel\u00e9 la \u00ab\u00a0pleine solidarit\u00e9\u00a0\u00bb du bloc avec Mohamed Bazoum, le pr\u00e9sident \u00e9lu assign\u00e9 \u00e0 r\u00e9sidence avec sa famille. Le plus haut diplomate de l’UE a salu\u00e9 son \u00ab\u00a0courage et sa d\u00e9termination\u00a0\u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Borrell a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 que les Europ\u00e9ens \u00e9taient \u00e9galement d’accord sur la n\u00e9cessit\u00e9 de \u00ab r\u00e9\u00e9valuer \u00bb leur strat\u00e9gie au Sahel, o\u00f9 la France en particulier a men\u00e9 des ann\u00e9es d’efforts visant \u00e0 vaincre les djihadistes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00ab\u00a0Nous avons besoin d’une nouvelle approche car nous sommes confront\u00e9s \u00e0 un environnement beaucoup plus complexe\u00a0\u00bb, a-t-il d\u00e9clar\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00ab\u00a0Nous avons insist\u00e9 sur l’id\u00e9e que nous avons besoin de solutions africaines aux probl\u00e8mes africains.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Au cours de la derni\u00e8re d\u00e9cennie, l’Union europ\u00e9enne a d\u00e9pens\u00e9 600 millions d’euros dans des missions civiles et militaires au Sahel, formant 30 000 membres des forces de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 et 18 000 soldats au Mali et au Niger, a r\u00e9cemment d\u00e9clar\u00e9 Borrell au Parlement europ\u00e9en.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
N\u00e9anmoins, des chefs militaires ont pris le relais dans les deux pays et au Burkina Faso voisin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
