  "textContent": "Niger has begun mobilization efforts in preparation for a potential conflict with France, General Amadou Ibro, chief of staff to Niger's leader Abdourahamane Tchiani, declared during a public rally.\n\"Know this, we are going to war with France. We were not at war, now we are going to war with France.”\n\nGeneral Amadou Ibro accused Paris of intending to launch military actions against Niger. France, however, categorically rejected these allegations. According to Jeune Afrique, French military officials dismissed the claims as unfounded.\nFrench Armed Forces spokesperson Colonel Guillaume Vernet stated that French intervention in Niger \"is out of the question.” He described Ibro's remarks as part of what he called an \"information war,” which, he argued, originated in Niamey.",
