00:00 Following the call launched for the recruitment of volunteers for the defense of Niger
00:12 (VDN), Nigerian youth mobilized very early in the morning since Saturday, August 19,
00:18 2023 at the Senikounche Stadium in Niamé.
00:20 There were thousands of young people to respond favorably to the call of the Front for the
00:24 Defense of the Fatherland.
00:26 It is for these young people present to mark their total commitment to the defense of Niger.
00:32 Faced with this great mobilization of a youth determined to defend the motherland, the organizers
00:37 of this event had difficulties in proceeding with the review of these young volunteers.
00:41 Subsequently, they had to inform this impressive crowd of young people that for reasons of
00:46 good organization, this event is postponed and it will now be done in the different
00:51 municipalities.
00:52 According to one of the co-organizers of this mobilization of volunteers for the defense
00:56 of the homeland, Mr. Yunus Ayma, the objective of this event is to mobilize young people
01:00 over 18 years old for the defense of the homeland.
01:03 "We have just started the review at the Senikounche General Stadium, but with this
01:09 large crowd of young people that you see, we had to stop to continue at the level
01:12 of the municipalities with a very detailed program, because there, we are really overwhelmed
01:17 ", he explained.
01:18 In addition, he added that this recruitment of volunteers for the defense of Niger, VDN,
01:24 is a way of telling all those who think they can attack us, including the CDAO, that
01:29 they are really wrong, because we are going to sacrifice ourselves to defend our country.
01:32 Today, in less than two hours, more than 50,000 young people mobilized.
01:37 This is why we thank them because they have just shown their love for the homeland, and
01:42 that they are also ready to defend the country, "Mr. Yunus Ayma concluded.
01:46 The military leaders of the Economic Community of the States of West Africa (CDAO) have decided
01:52 on a date to send troops to Niger, "said Friday the Commissioner for Political Affairs,
01:56 Peace and Security, Abdel Fatto Musa.
02:00 "We are ready to leave as soon as the order is given ", Musa said to the journalist
02:04 after a two-day meeting of the Committee of the Chiefs of Staff of the Defense of the
02:08 Accra Block, in Ghana.
02:10 The day is also decided.
02:12 We have already agreed and refined what will be necessary for the intervention.
02:16 Let no one doubt that if all the rest fails, the valiant forces of West Africa, both
02:22 military and civilian, are ready to respond to the call of duty, "said Musa.
02:28 Expressing himself during the closing ceremony of the military meeting, Musa mentioned the
02:32 previous deployments of the CDAO in Gambia and Liberia as successful intervention examples,
02:37 and promised that "the constitutional order will be restored, in Niger, by all means available. "
