Regime in Niger admits rebels damaged crude oil pipeline
THE ruling military regime in Niger today admitted that rebels attacked and damaged a crucial pipeline carrying crude oil to neighbouring Benin.
The Patriotic Liberation Front (PLF) said that it was behind last week’s attack.
The damage to the 1,243-mile pipeline is a significant setback to the military rulers who came to power after they ousted former president Mohamed Bazoum last July.
