Niger announces its decision to break diplomatic relations with Ukraine, 08.06.2024.

The Government of Niger, as reported by 'Al-Arabiya', made the decision to break diplomatic relations with Ukraine on August 6.

The decision comes just a couple of days after Mali, a nation that accused Kiev of supporting terrorist groups operating in the African country, also severed relations with the European nation.

The Malian government spokesman, Colonel Abdoulaye Maiga, accused a senior Ukrainian official of having admitted Kiev's role in the defeat suffered by Malian troops in July.

On August 4, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Senegal summoned the Ukrainian ambassador to the country, Yuri Pivovarov, for his expressed support for the fighters in northern Mali who inflicted heavy losses on government forces.

EU recalls its ambassador from Niger as relations deteriorate

The European Union (EU) has recalled its ambassador from Niamey, Niger's capital, for consultations in Brussels following tensions with the country's transitional authorities regarding EU humanitarian aid for flood victims in the West African nation.

"The European Union has taken note of the statement issued by Niger's transitional authorities, challenging the modalities and management of humanitarian aid provided by the EU Delegation to the victims of severe flooding in the country," the statement read.

On Friday, Niger's transitional government criticized the EU for allocating €1.3 million in humanitarian aid without prior consultation. A government statement accused the EU ambassador of redistributing these funds to NGOs "unilaterally," allegedly ignoring transparency principles and bypassing collaboration with Nigerien authorities. An audit of the fund's management was requested.

In response, an EU spokesperson expressed "profound disagreement" with Niger's allegations, viewing them as a direct challenge to the EU's management of its humanitarian support. Consequently, the EU decided to recall its ambassador.
