The current military leaders in Niger, without the knowledge of millions of Nigeriens, have secretly evacuated members of their families to Burkina Faso and Dubai over ECOWAS threats of military action.
The exercise, which was carried out at the country’s airport, Agadez Airport, few days ago, involved Gulfstream G550 jets.
A source told this reporter that: “In the night of Friday, 11th to Saturday 12th of August 2023, the Nigerien junta, under the command of General Tchiani, evacuated all the putschists’ families.
“Indeed, several Gulfstream G550 type aircraft (in particular flight No. BFY824R) took off from
Agadez airport to Burkina Faso and Dubai with their women and children on board.
“General Tchiani appears to have had intelligence of an imminent attack by ECOWAS, he protects his family and leaves Nigerien people behind, to a certain death. While he shelters his family, TChiani is ready to send soldiers into a fratricidal war!
“Like any selfish and totalitarian putschists, he already uses state finances for personal purposes. It is at the expense of the Nigerien state that he sends his family to live richly under the Dubai sun.
“The junta does not hesitate a moment to set ablaze Niger while preparing a golden exit in Dubai’, the source added.
