United States Department of State Principal Deputy spokesperson Vedant Patel told reporters on Monday that putting Niger's deposed President Mohamed Bazoum on trial won't bring the conflict closer to peace, APA reports citing Teletrader.
"We are incredibly dismayed by reports that President Bazoum's unjust detention has gone even a step further. This action is completely unwarranted and unjustified and, candidly, it will not contribute to a peaceful resolution of this crisis," Patel stated at a press conference.
Earlier, Niger's junta said that it is planning to prosecute Bazoum.
