Lomé sécurise l’engrais destiné au Niger

Le gouvernement togolais va accompagner le Niger dans la sécurisation logistique de son approvisionnement en engrais. L’annonce a été faite le mercredi 25 février 2026 par le ministre chargé de l’Économie maritime, à l’issue d’une rencontre avec son homologue nigérien de l’Agriculture, Mahaman Elhadj Ousmane. Les autorités togolaises ont indiqué que le Port de Lomé est mobilisé afin d’assurer le transit de 20 000 tonnes d’engrais destinées au marché nigérien. Cette opération s’inscrit dans une dynamique de coopération économique accrue entre les deux pays, renforcée depuis le retrait du Niger de la Communauté économique des États de l'Afrique de l'Ouest. Confronté à des tensions diplomatiques avec le Bénin, notamment marquées par la fermeture des frontières terrestres, le Niger s’appuie davantage sur la plateforme portuaire togolaise pour ses échanges commerciaux. Le corridor passant par Lomé est ainsi devenu un axe stratégique […]

Togo : équilibre diplomatique entre France et Russie

Le Togo tente de tirer parti de ses relations avec la France et la Russie, tout en conservant sa liberté d’action régionale. Après l’échec du coup d’État au Bénin le 7 décembre, le chef rebelle Pascal Tigri aurait trouvé refuge temporaire au Togo avant de se rendre probablement au Burkina Faso ou au Niger. Le rôle exact du Togo dans cette affaire reste flou, illustrant sa capacité à naviguer habilement entre partenaires internationaux concurrents sous la direction de Faure Gnassingbé. Lomé entretient des liens prudents avec le Bénin tout en affichant un soutien ouvert à certains régimes militaires sahéliens dissidents, notamment au Burkina Faso, au Niger et au Mali. Cette diplomatie équilibrée rappelle à la France que le Togo a d’autres options internationales. En octobre, Faure Gnassingbé s’est rendu à Paris pour rencontrer Emmanuel Macron, avant de se rendre trois […]

Nigeria Sahel allies clash over detained military plane and soldiers

Nigeria and the Alliance of Sahel States are giving sharply different accounts of how a Nigerian Air Force C 130 transport plane and 11 soldiers ended up detained in Burkina Faso. The aircraft made an emergency landing in Bobo Dioulasso on Monday, but the incident has now triggered a wider diplomatic dispute over alleged airspace violations.​ The Alliance of Sahel States which includes Burkina Faso Mali and Niger insists the Nigerian plane entered its airspace without permission and was forced to land. In a joint statement the bloc called the episode a serious breach of sovereignty and said its air and anti aircraft defences have been placed on high alert with orders to neutralise any further unauthorised flights.​ Nigerian authorities reject the accusation and say the C 130 crew diverted to Bobo Dioulasso only after detecting a technical fault while […]

Niger Puts Nationalised Uranium on Global Market

Niger’s military government has announced that uranium produced by Somair, a company it nationalised from French nuclear firm Orano in June, is now being offered on the international market. The move marks a new phase in the standoff between the junta, which seized power in 2023, and Orano, a group that is 90 percent owned by the French state and has mined uranium in Niger for decades.​ The decision was made public on state broadcaster Télé Sahel, quoting junta leader General Abdourahamane Tiani. He insisted Niger had the sovereign right to manage its natural resources and to sell them “to whoever wants to buy them” under normal market rules and in full independence.​ Russia has already signalled interest in Niger’s uranium, with Energy Minister Sergei Tsivilev saying in July that Moscow wanted to start mining operations in the country.

In a landmark move, Southwest governors have launched a joint strategy to prevent terrorist incursion, agreeing to establish a regional security fund, a digital intelligence-sharing platform, and reinforce forest surveillance.
