The leaders of Niger's military coup said earlier on Sunday that they believed regional body ECOWAS was on the point of staging a military intervention in the capital of the Sahel country.

Speaking ahead of the ECOWAS crisis summit, the junta said: "The aim of this meeting is to approve a plan of aggression against Niger, in the form of an imminent military intervention in Niamey, in cooperation with African countries who are not members of the regional body and certain Western nations."

The statement was read out on national television on Saturday evening by Amadou Abdramane, a member of the junta which this week ousted President Bazoum and declared itself in charge.

The president of Chad, General Mahamat Idriss Déby Itno, was in Niger on Sunday to help resolve the crisis in the country following a coup, a Chad government spokesman told AFP.

Melting ice reveals remains of climber lost on glacier 37 years ago
By Nadine Schmidt, CNN
Published 11:36 AM EDT, Fri July 28, 2023
The remains of a German mountain climber who went missing 37 years ago while hiking along a glacier near Switzerland’s iconic Matterhorn have been recovered, as melting glaciers lead to the re-emergence of bodies and objects thought to be long lost.

Climbers hiking along the Theodul Glacier in Zermatt on July 12 discovered human remains and several pieces of equipment, police in the Valais canton said in a statement Thursday.

“DNA analysis enabled the identification of a mountain climber who had been missing since 1986,” police said in a statement. “In September 1986, a German climber, who was 38 at the time, had been reported missing after not returning from a hike.”

A US soldier who crossed into North Korea while on a tour group after escaping military detention was laughing as he fled over the inter-Korean border, according to media reports.

US and Korean officials identified the soldier as Private 2nd Class Travis King, according to CBS News. King, 23, was being held in custody by South Korea at the airport in Incheon, near Seoul, and in the process of being expelled when he fled.
After passing through airport security, he unexpectedly joined a tour group to the Korean border village of Panmunjom, a popular tourist spot inside the 248km-long (154-mile) demilitarized zone, or DMZ.

A member of the tour later told CBS News that King, who was reported to be in civilian clothes, gave “out a loud ‘ha ha ha’ and just runs in between some buildings”.

Pentagon officials said that UN Command security forces who had been escorting the tour group chased King, who is from Racine, Wisconsin, but could not catch him.

Adm John Aquilino, the head of US Indo-Pacific Command, confirmed that an army private “made a run across the demilitarized zone in the Joint Security Area. He was picked up by the North Koreans,” according to NBC News.

The US defense secretary, Lloyd Austin, said during a news conference on Tuesday that King had entered North Korea “intentionally and without authorisation”.

“There’s a lot that that we’re still trying to learn, but what we do know is that one of our service members who was on a tour willfully and without authorisation crossed the military demarcation line,” Austin told Pentagon reporters. Austin said King was probably now in North Korean custody.

A US state department spokesperson said that the department “has not reached out to the North Koreans or other governments” on the matter.

Adam Smith, a senior Democrat on the House armed services committee, told CNN that North Korea’s detention of a US soldier posed a serious diplomatic problem since the US and North Korea do not maintain diplomatic relations.
