Prez Mohamed Bazoum of Niger is getting couped.
Small group from the army, the Presidential Guard itself couped him up into house arrest.
God Save the Prez Hassoumi Massaoudou!
International reaction (by ECOWAS, EU, and US):
>it's problematic
>it's unconstitutional
>release the Prez
Will Niger go on Mali way? Perhaps they also invite Wagner to do what Wagner does? Do Niger has their problem with ISIL and AL Qaeda?
The countries in Sahel is getting restless. Is this some weird Sahel Spring? What's up with Chad these days?
