The European Union on Saturday said it would not recognise Niger's putschists who seized power this week and that it was suspending security cooperation with the jihadist-hit country.
"The European Union does not recognise and will not recognise the authorities from the putsch in Niger," the bloc's chief diplomat Josep Borrell said in a statement, adding that "all cooperation in the security field is suspended indefinitely with immediate effect."
