Canada announced on Saturday it will stop its direct financial assistance to the Government of Niger after a military coup in the West African country.
Canada’s financial assistance was expected to reach an annual budget of $10 million per year by 2026. Between 2021-2022, it distributed $2.71 million.
Global Affairs said the coup d'état, which started on July 26, undermines the rule of law and threatens the democracy in the country as a fraction of the military claims to have overthrown democratically-elected president Mohamed Bazoum.
