Reuters: Top US official traveled to Niger and held 'difficult' talks with junta officials 

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. State Department's acting No. 2 traveled to Niger and held talks on Monday with senior officials from the country's junta which seized power last month, but made no progress in meetings she described as "difficult". 

U.S. Acting Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland was in Niamey, she told reporters in a call, and met with Moussa Salaou Barmou, the self-proclaimed defense chief of Niger's junta and three other colonels supporting him. 

Washington offered ways to restore democratic order, Nuland said, but the junta officials showed little interest. The U.S. side conveyed what is at stake in terms of economic assistance and other aid if the situation is not reversed, she added.

  1. even South America knows that the European Union is a failure a bad joke, because this is like the Soviet Union the difference is that it had concentration camps, now apart from that Russia is right to compare such past unions with the current ones in Europe, because one is in decline without a concentration camp and another without camps had a stronger economy due to extreme union, strange..., it seems that the TRUTH hit the fan and flew for all to see and know.

  4. yea ,1203 is ok, no worries

    But those Niger guys better watch thier backs. I bet nuland wanted to talk to the ex president to tell him not to say anything. Like how much money he was even under the table.

    BTW who is the CIA station chief and AMBO there? Probably two political appointees who are worthless. That is why they sent Nuland.

  7. Kam has gained power using her mouth quite well in the past. The coup leaders should allow her to meet and use her persuasive powers to rectify the situation there in Niger.
