Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger quit International Criminal Court

Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger on Monday announced their withdrawal from the International Criminal Court (ICC), describing it as a tool of “neo-colonial repression.” In a joint statement, the three military-led governments accused the court of bias and failing to prosecute major global crimes. They said the ICC had “proven itself incapable of handling and prosecuting war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide, and aggression.” The decision comes after a series of coups in Bamako, Ouagadougou, and Niamey between 2020 and 2023, which led the countries to form the Alliance of Sahel States (AES). Since then, they have distanced themselves from Western powers, especially former colonial ruler France, while strengthening ties with Russia. The statement added that the countries intend to build “indigenous mechanisms for peace and justice” instead of relying on international institutions. Under ICC rules, a withdrawal only takes […]

Niger : HRW alerte après plus de 127 civils tués

Human Rights Watch (HRW) a révélé mercredi que des combattants affiliés à l’État islamique ont mené cinq attaques meurtrières dans l’ouest du Niger depuis mars 2025, faisant plus de 127 victimes civiles. Ces assauts se sont concentrés dans la région de Tillabéri, située à la frontière du Burkina Faso et du Mali, zone où opèrent depuis plusieurs années des groupes liés à l’État islamique et à Al-Qaïda. D’après les témoignages recueillis, les assaillants seraient des membres de l’État islamique dans la province du Sahel (ISSP), identifiés par leurs uniformes et leurs menaces antérieures. Le rapport pointe aussi la faiblesse de la réponse militaire. Malgré des alertes reçues avant certaines attaques, les forces armées nigériennes n’auraient pas déployé de protection suffisante pour sécuriser les villages. Ni le gouvernement ni l’armée n’ont réagi publiquement à ces accusations. La situation souligne l’instabilité persistante […]
