Nigerien military government citizenship revocations

Overview

Nigerien military leader Abdourahamane Tiani signed a decree revoking the citizenship of five individuals, including former Prime Minister Ouhoumoudou Mahamadou. The targets are identified as critics of the ruling National Council for the Safeguard of the Homeland (CNSP) residing abroad.

The accused face allegations such as spreading data to disturb public order, collaborating with foreign powers, and defaming the state. This action is part of a legal framework established by the CNSP in July 2023 to sanction those suspected of undermining state interests. According to the Nigerien Press Agency (ANP), 25 people have had their nationality stripped since the military took power.
