NIJAR: 11 Gunmen Surrender Their Weapons.
The Niger government has continued to urge the country's militants to lay down their guns wherever they appear and support the peace plan.
On the border between Libya and Algeria, 11 bandits who injured individuals turned in their firearms to the authorities. Large quantities of ammo, AK-47 rifles, and more than ten more weapons are in the arsenal.
After many years of teenagers taking part in this job on the frontiers of Algeria, Libya, and Niger and causing the population to be in a condition of anarchy, they turned over the weapons to the Agadas state authorities.
The robbers said that they came in response to President Muhammad Bazoum's demand for them to put down their weapons and give up the terrible practices they had adopted.
Those who turned themselves in said that their unemployment drove them to commit these terrorist actions.
The bandits' decision to lay down their guns, embrace peace, and work with the security services has been welcomed by the Agadas authorities.
The governor of the state of Agadas, Maji Mamman Dada, said: "I would like to express my thanks to these gunmen who put down their weapons for the cause of peace after the request made by the president of Niger. You are aware that any nation's development depends on its security. We are pleading with the other gunmen to come to rescue them and embrace peace.
One member of Agadas' civil society, Mohamed Abubakar, believes that this initiative to promote peace is a positive thing. Therefore, it is preferable to keep a check on the remorseful bandits.
For many reasons, including accepting the president of Niger's peace offer, the bandits have decided to halt their operations.
