Niger’s Military Intervention and Nigeria-Niger Bilateral Relations
##plugins.themes.bootstrap3.article.main##
摘要
The military intervention in the Niger Republic in 2023 had a significant impact on Nigeria and Niger's bilateral relations. This article looks at the intervention's complex implications on the diplomatic, economic, and security ties between the two nations. This involved discussing the history of bilateral relations, adopting relationship rule theory as its theoretical framework, explaining the pattern of relations prior to and following the coup in 2023, outlining the technical assistance that Niger received from Nigeria, and analyzing the variables that led to Nigeria's action against Niger. There was a critical discussion and suggestions for a solution on the impact of the military coup in 2023 on the bilateral relations between the two countries. This paper uses a qualitative, systematic assessment of official statements, media accounts, and expert opinions to examine how Nigeria and Niger's dynamics of cooperation and rivalry have changed as a result of the military involvement. This study adds to a better understanding of the changing dynamics of bilateral relations in the geopolitical context of West Africa by illuminating the intricate interplay of interests and difficulties that Nigeria and Niger face.
