Today is one month since the military coup in Niger
Today, August 26, marks one month since the military coup in the Republic of Niger, which removed the elected president Bazoum Mohammed from power.
On the 26th of July, the news broke that the soldiers guarding the presidential palace, under the leadership of General Abderahmane Tchiane, detained President Bazoum in his palace, which caused panic inside and outside the country.
Later, the army announced the removal of President Bazoum and his detention along with some of his ministers due to some reasons they gave which related to national security and the threats that Niger is facing.
This stage of the coup has already met with severe criticism from Nigeria, France, Germany, the United States, ECOWAS, AU and the United Nations, which have suspended Niger.
These are the reasons why the President of Nigeria, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who is in charge of ECOWAS, has called an emergency meeting of the regional leaders, who have decided to send a delegation to meet with the soldiers who made the coup, and to impose economic sanctions on the country. and the threat of using military force to restore civilian rule if the soldiers who made the coup refuse to abdicate.
