In Niger, an Attempt at Military Mutiny

In Nigeria, a military coup attempt occurred overnight, with explosions and gunfire reported in the capital city of Niamey. According to reports from foreign news agencies, the unrest began around one hour after local time in the morning and lasted approximately six hours. The military successfully quelled the uprising and reasserted control. This incident follows similar attempts in June and January of this year, targeting government buildings and the airport, which also serves as a military airbase. Nigeria, home to nearly 28 million people, is among the poorest nations in the world. In July 2023, the military carried out a coup and took power, with General Abdurahaman Tiani, closely linked to Russia, declared president without elections for at least until 2030.
