The soldiers who staged a coup in Niger have appointed new governors

NIAMEY, NIGER - The soldiers who made a coup in the Republic of Niger have appointed the governors of 8 states of the country to continue the attempt to establish a transitional government.
The army council also announced the opening of the borders of Niger and other countries that are not related to ECOWAS.
This is coming at a time when a team of ECOWAS/CEDEAO mediators is expected to visit Niger on Wednesday to consult with the parties in dispute.
In the announcement they gave through the television owned by the government of Niger, they informed the people of the country about the appointment of the new governors.
The military officers were appointed to replace the governors of the overthrown government, which include four generals, two colonels, one police controller and one lieutenant colonel.
In the current situation, the people of Niger have started to speak out about this step of appointing the country's governors.
A citizen of Tchanga Tchalimbo says that these appointments are a sign of death and an offer of reconciliation when it is the only solution to the situation Niger finds itself in.
The community has already begun to feel the pain of the sanctions imposed by the ECOWAS/CEDEAO group on the country where the price of food products has increased, for example how a 25 kg bag of rice that was 10 bags of CFA in the past (10000f) has become wet. 15 (15000f).
Banks have also begun to experience a pause in transactions where those trying to withdraw money are crowded at a time when there is a shortage of depositors due to the fear of what may come.
In addition, there was a power problem due to the cutting of the power line by Nigeria at a time when some members of the CNSP Council started a tour of neighboring countries namely Mali and Burkina Faso.
