(@ChaudhryMAli88)MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 04th August, 2023) Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has dispatched a delegation to Libya and Algeria to discuss the Nigerien crisis and ensure "a conclusive and amicable resolution" of the situation in the country after the recent coup, the president's office said on Thursday. Earlier in the day, the president's office said that another delegation, led by former Nigerian Head of State, Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar, had been sent to Niger to negotiate with the new authorities resulting from the coup. "The President has also sent a separate delegation led by Ambassador Babagana Kingibe to engage with the leaders of Libya and Algeria on the Niger crisis. On July 26, Niger's presidential guard removed President Mohamed Bazoum from power. The concerns of the coup participants increased last Sunday after ECOWAS said it might use force if Bazoum was not returned to power within a week.
