Abuja (Eurotoday) – The EU recalled its ambassador from Niger after disputes over humanitarian aid distribution and funding.
The European Union said that it had recalled its blank” rel=”noopener”>representatives from Niger because the ruling junta had challenged the way the bloc delivered support to the West African country.
“The EU has therefore decided to recall its ambassador to Niamey for consultations in Brussels,”
an EU spokesperson expressed.
What led to the dispute over humanitarian aid distribution?
Niger had blamed the EU ambassador for distributing 1.3 million euros in humanitarian aid to non-governmental institutions in the country without first informing the authorities. It has requested an audit of the way the funds were organised. Since taking power in a coup in July 2023, the Sahel nation’s military rulers have turned their backs on ex-colonial ruler France and have expanded increasingly frosty towards the European Union.
