Leben

Salifou Mody ging von 1969 bis 1975 in Niamey zur Schule. Anschließend besuchte er die Militärschule in Bingerville in der Elfenbeinküste, die er 1983 abschloss. In diesem Jahr trat er in die Streitkräfte Nigers ein. Weitere militärische Ausbildungen absolvierte er in Kamerun, Frankreich und Madagaskar. Mody war ab 1993 als Kommandant verschiedener Einheiten in N’Guigmi, Agadez und Niamey eingesetzt und erreichte den Dienstgrad eines Hauptmanns. 1998 wurde er zum Major befördert und übernahm die Leitung der nationalen Interventions- und Sicherheitskräfte.

Als Staatspräsident Ibrahim Baré Maïnassara bei einem Militärputsch 1999 getötet worden war, wurde Salifou Mody Mitglied des Rats der nationalen Versöhnung, der 14-köpfigen Militärjunta unter dem Vorsitz von Daouda Malam Wanké, die Niger bis zu den freien Wahlen Ende 1999 regierte. Danach setzte er seine Laufbahn bei den Streitkräften fort. Als der 1999 erstmals gewählte Staatspräsident Mamadou Tandja 2009 versuchte, eine in der Verfassung nicht vorgesehene dritte Amtszeit zu erlangen, setzte er den ihm potenziell illoyal erscheinenden stellvertretenden Generalstabschef der Bodenstreitkräfte ab und besetzte den Posten mit Salifou Mody. Doch Mody kehrte ihm den Rücken: Als Tandja 2010 durch einen Militärputsch abgesetzt wurde, wurde Mody Mitglied der neuen Militärjunta, dem Obersten Rat für die Wiederherstellung der Demokratie unter dem Vorsitz von Salou Djibo. Außerdem wurde er anstelle von Mamadou Ousseini Generalstabschef der Bodenstreitkräfte. Die Junta gab die Macht 2011 an den neuen Staatspräsidenten Mahamadou Issoufou ab.

Salifou Mody wurde in weiterer Folge ins Ausland versetzt. Noch 2011 ernannte ihn Staatspräsident Issoufou zum Militärattaché an der Botschaft Nigers in Deutschland.
