Rumoured Coup Ongoing In Niamey: Presidential Guards surround Bazoum's Residence by fergie001(op): 11:14am On Jul 26, 2023

Access to the official residence of Niger President Mohamed Bazoum was blocked off early Wednesday by members of the elite Presidential Guard, a source close to Bazoum said, although the reason was unclear.

The landlocked West African state is one of the most coup-prone nations in the world, experiencing four since independence from France in 1960 as well as numerous attempted coups.

Guards blocked off access both to Bazoum's residence and the presidential offices in Niamey, although there was no abnormal military deployment or sounds of gunfire in the area, and traffic was normal, an AFP journalist saw.

Bazoum, who was democratically elected in 2021, is a close ally of France.

The country's last coup occurred in February 2010, overturning then president Mamadou Tandja.

Niger is struggling with two jihadist campaigns -- one in the southwest, which swept in from neighbouring Mali in 2015, and the other in the southeast, involving jihadists based in northeastern Nigeria.

Similar thing will happen in one of the biggest country in West Africa.

Since some stubborn politicians are forcing themselves on the populace.

If you no pity yourself, pity your parents. You can get locked up for this nonsense you just typed.

You don't need to mention Nigeria until your innuendo is classified as an incitement against the state.

So those Jihadist dey fear Buhari. They wait for him to leave power before they try to initiate a coup in Niger. Same way Putin waited for Trump to leave power before invading Ukraine.

The INTERIM head of State and mandate thief of the FRN, who unfortunately doubles as the INTERIM ECOWAS chairperson, I believe initiated an Anti-coup force. Well, here is a good, albeit negative way to test their effectiveness.
