[ad_1]


Canada announced on Saturday it will stop its direct financial assistance to the Government of Niger after a military coup in the West African country.


The annual budget was expected to reach $10 million per year by 2026.


“In the current context, it would be impossible to maintain direct support to the Government of Niger while ensuring an effective and intentional use of funds,” Global Affairs Canada said in a press release.


This is a breaking news story, more to come.
