UN General Assembly
2025

Across the vast territory of the Sahel, where the climate is often arid, our people understood very quickly that it was necessary to organize, to establish bonds, to cooperate with one another, so as to live in peace and security on this shared territory. These people understood that sticking together, expressing solidarity is not an option, a way of becoming stronger. It was a precondition for their very survival. And it is for that very reason, that we naturally support all initiatives, which support international cooperation and solidarity, so as to achieve our common objectives, that is peace, development and the well-being of all. For that same reason, we rise up against all initiatives or any actions which undercut the international community's efforts directed at achieving peace and development. Drawing on these principles, the people of Niger unreservedly condemn the Israeli genocide in Gaza. We unswervingly support the establishment of a sovereign Palestinian state.
