Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>Hon. Abdoulie Ceesay, the National Assembly Member for Old Yundum constituency and Deputy Majority Leader of the Gambia\u2019s National Assembly, has said that a military intervention in Niger is unlikely to resolve the crisis.<\/b><\/p>\n

In an opinion piece titled \u201cClimate Change Is an Ally of Jihadists in Africa\u201d published in Newsweek magazine, the Old Yundum Constituency NAM (National Assembly Member) contrasted the ECOWAS intervention in the Gambia with the prevailing situation in Niger today. He concluded that the success of the ECOWAS intervention in the Gambia may not be easily replicated in Niger.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a Gambian Parliamentarian who witnessed the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS)\u2019s intervention in my country in 2017, I know that military intervention in Niger is unlikely to solve the crisis. In the Gambia, ECOWAS managed to restore democracy without resorting to bloodshed. But what happened in 2017 cannot be repeated in one-size-fits-all fashion,\u201d he wrote in an essay titled<\/p>\n

Hon. Ceesay also said ECOWAS intervention in Niger is likely not only destabilized an \u2018already fragile\u2019 region \u2018struggling\u2019 to contain the rise of Islamist extremists, it will fail to address the root causes\u2014an omission that he said will empower extremists like never before.<\/p>\n

Hon. Ceesay said that the coups in the Sahel are \u201cclimate coups\u201d and that the international community is failing to recognize their root cause, which is climate change.<\/p>\n

\u201d Are these incidents separate crises, or part of something larger? The fact that few are acknowledging is that Niger\u2019s coup, like those in neighbouring countries, is a \u201cclimate coup\u201d\u2014a crisis born of climate impacts largely ignored by the international community.\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n
