Niger has stripped nationality from Mariama Djibrine, an opposition figure living in exile. According to wavn.org, Niger’s junta leader, Gen. Abdourahamane Tiani, signed a decree on June 11 provisionally stripping her of her Nigerien nationality. Authorities accuse Djibrine of disseminating information likely to disturb public order, inciting revolt, and colluding with a foreign power. The measure is based on a 2024 order that created a national database of people suspected of terrorism. The accusations against Djibrine come amid an escalating crackdown on dissent since the military seized power in July 2023. According to wavn.org, the Nigerien government has taken similar actions against former officials and allies of ousted President Mohamed Bazoum, including former ministers Hassoumi Massoudou and Alkache Alhada, who face charges of treason and conspiracy against the state.
