Civil society groups have welcomed the Gauteng High High Court’s request to the National Conventional Arms Control Committee (NCACC) to end delays in the review application related to permits allowing weapons exports to Saudi Arabian and the UAE. It comes amid the backdrop of Saudi relentlessly waging war on Yemen, killing innocent people. Saudi Arabia and the UAE have been equipped with weapons from major exporting countries, including South Africa, to continue its barrage of attacks.

Civil Society Welcomes Court's Directive To Not Delay Arms Trade Case | Radio 786

In a rapidly unfolding situation in Niger, coup leaders have warned against foreign intervention, fearing it could lead to violence and chaos. Meanwhile, Germany, the European Union, and France have suspended financial aid and cooperation with Niger following the military takeover. The junta's arrest of senior politicians has also intensified the situation, drawing international condemnation. Joining us today are experts to discuss the implications of the coup, its impact on Niger's stability, and the response from the international community.  

Guests:  Journalist based in Niger’s neighbour, Nigeria, Danjuma Abdullahi and Dr Adeoye Akinola, head of research and teaching at the Institute for Pan African Thought and Conversation at the University of Johannesburg
