Niger commission recommends 5-year transition to democratic rule

Niger's National Conference has proposed a five-year transition to non-military rule, allowing the current military government to remain in power during this time.
The proposal includes the abolition of all political parties and limits the creation of new parties to no more than five.
Junta leader Brigadier General Abdourahamane Tchiani can stand as a candidate in future elections. Tchiani stated, 'I am committed to fulfilling the sovereign people's hope.'
The security situation in the Sahel has worsened since recent military coups, with over 3,470 people killed in six months and 2.6 million displaced according to the United Nations refugee agency.
