Mali and Burkina Faso Delegation Show Solidarity as Niger Braces for Border ReinforcementMali and Burkina Faso Delegation Show Solidarity as Niger Braces for Border Reinforcement

The Malian army recently announced the dispatch of an official joint delegation from Mali and Burkina Faso to Niamey, the capital city of Niger.

The primary objective of this mission is to demonstrate solidarity and support to the brotherly people of Niger during these challenging times.

On the heels of the announcement of the joint delegation, reports surfaced of a Burkina Faso Air Force Airbus C295 crossing the border into Niger.

The aircraft’s destination, believed to be Niamey, has raised questions about whether it carries members of the delegation or security forces.

Mali and Burkina Faso, both neighboring countries of Niger, are well aware of the potential implications of the crisis on regional stability and security.
