AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Niger’s crackdown: Niger’s military junta has recriminalized consensual same-sex relations, with the new penal code imposing 5–10 years in prison and fines, effective June 11—another hard turn in rights for a country already facing regional anti-LGBTQ pressure. Opposition stripped of nationality: Junta leader Gen. Abdourahamane Tiani signed a decree provisionally stripping exiled opposition figure Mariama Djibrine of Nigerien nationality, citing a terrorism database used to target dissent. Uranium restart talks: In Niamey, Mines Minister Abarchi Ousmane met GoviEx to reshape the Madaouela uranium deal, aiming for a revised fiscal and legal framework to boost state control and revenue before any restart. Power sabotage hits Niger State: TCN warned that vandals damaged about 14 spans of conductors on a 132kV line in Lambata, with repairs estimated at N32 million—raising safety and electricity supply fears. Regional diplomacy: Libya and Niger agreed to deepen bilateral cooperation, including border security and action against transnational crime and irregular migration.
