Germany said Monday it had suspended financial aid to Niger as well as development cooperation with the jihadist-hit nation following last week’s coup, and warned it could take further measures.
Berlin has “suspended all direct support payments to the central government of Niger until further notice,” a foreign ministry spokesman told a press briefing.
“Depending on developments in the coming days, we may take further measures,” the spokesman added, without giving further details.
The development ministry had also decided to “suspend bilateral development cooperation,” a spokeswoman told the briefing. (Channels TV)
