At least 29 Nigerien soldiers have been killed by jihadis near the country\u2019s border with Mali, Niger’s junta said, as they struggle to end a spate of attacks.<\/p>\n

More than 100 extremists used homemade explosives to target the West African nation’s security forces who were deployed at the border area on a clearance operation, Niger Defense Minister Lt. Gen. Salifou Mody said in a statement late Monday. It’s the second such attack<\/a> against Nigerien soldiers in a week.<\/p>\n

During the month after Niger\u2019s military seized power<\/a>, violence primarily linked to extremists soared by more than 40%, according to the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project. Jihadi attacks targeting civilians quadrupled in August compared with the month before, and attacks against security forces spiked in the Tillaberi region, killing at least 40 soldiers, the project reported.<\/p>\n

“This attack unfortunately caused the loss of several of our valiant soldiers,” Mody said Monday. “The provisional assessment of this attack is as follows: on the friendly side, 29 soldiers fell. \u2026 On the enemy side, several dozen terrorists were neutralized, fifteen motorcycles destroyed, a large quantity of weapons and ammunition seized.”<\/p>\n

The junta, which took over power after a July coup against Niger\u2019s democratically elected government, declared a three-day national mourning period for the dead.<\/p>\n

It repeated claims made in the past that “destabilization operations” were being carried out by “certain foreign powers with the complicity of Nigerien traitors,” without further details or proof.<\/p>\n

Under growing pressure since the coup against Nigerien President Mohamed Bazoum, which the military said was carried out because of Niger\u2019s security challenges, the junta promised that “all efforts will be made to guarantee the security of people and their property throughout the national territory.”<\/p>\n

Niger has battled a jihadi insurgency linked to al-Qaida and the Islamic State group for years. And the junta\u2019s capacity to improve Niger\u2019s security has increasingly been questioned recently as attacks have increased<\/a> since mutinous soldiers toppled in July.<\/p>\n

Niger was seen as one of the last democratic countries in Africa\u2019s Sahel region that Western nations could partner with to beat back the jihadi insurgency in the vast expanse below the Sahara Desert. The United States, France and other European countries poured hundreds of millions of dollars into shoring up the Nigerien military.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
