Sharjah 24 – Reuters: US aid programmes to the government of Niger that have been paused over a military takeover in the country are valued at more than $100 million and include development assistance, security assistance and law enforcement assistance, State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said on Monday.
In total "hundreds of millions of dollars" in US assistance is at stake if the country's junta does not reinstate the elected government, Miller added at a press briefing.
