Supporters of the coup in Niger have attacked the headquarters of the ousted president's party, attacking politicians and setting the headquarters on fire, stoning and burning cars outside.

In shocking scenes, groups of civilians with some holding Russian flags in beating up politicians who were allies of President Mohamed Bazoum - who was taken captive on Wednesday.

Following the TV announcement on Thursday by some soldiers of a successful coup, Russia joined other countries and the UN in calling for Bazoum's release.

The 64-year-old, who was elected as Niger's president two years ago, is a key Western ally in the fight against Islamist militants in West Africa.

The US and France, who colonized Niger, both have military bases in the uranium-rich country - and have condemned the coup.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken called Bazoum promising Washington's "unwavering support".

Bazoum took to Twitter on Thursday morning to issue a defiant statement: "The hard-won achievements will be safeguarded. All Nigeriens who love democracy and freedom will see to it."

His foreign minister has also been trying to rally support and urge dialogue, but the army chief of staff said he was backing the takeover to avoid fighting within the armed forces.

In the capital, Niamey, shops and markets opened for business and after delays due to heavy rain early in the morning, coup supporters took to the streets.

The hundreds who gathered outside the National Assembly had some Russian flags, while others held up hand-written signs saying: "Down with France" and "Foreign bases out".

Police later fired tear gas to disperse those who had gone to the headquarters of the ruling party, where party activists ran away when they saw the protesters coming.

The coup supporters accuse the party of corruption and not doing enough to improve the security situation and end the long-running jihadist insurgency.

H

Hehehe.

Am still asking, where will Buhari go for retirement now?.


Nigerian politicians will not learn from this and change from their evil way's.

Dear Nigerian politicians,those sycophants around you cheering you on and telling how good you are will be the first to burn you down when the time comes.

The people are angry and waiting for a very good day to pay you guys back for looting their past, present and future .

Will end my advice with a quote from
Jean-Jacques Rousseau.“When the people shall have nothing more to eat,they will eat the rich.”

Politicians too steal

What should happen in Nigeria! I mean the protest not the coup.


Hadley Chase available

A lesson to Nigerian politicians who think they are invincible. Allocating public funds to themselves and stealing what is left.

Attack the Nigerian politicians who have looted the destiny of their children children & watch how tribalism will erupt.

At the end of the day they all come on social Media to cry telling the World how miserable they are living

Africans keeps electing idiots and still hoping for change

Very pathetic people

The same treatment Nigerian politicians deserve
This is what should be done to any useless, oppressive, repressive, suppressive, autocratic and tyrannical sit-tight government. This is the only language such idiots understand.

So disgustingly pathetic I tell you. See the case of Paul Biya of Cameroun. Imagine ECOWAS legalising the fraudulent 2023 election in Nigeria. These same ECOWAS Buhari was violating and spurning its decisions, and court judgements? The continent is under a spell.

Hmmmmmm

Anyone that you try, Emilokan Tinubu will sacrifice you all to Ogun

My highest regret was not joining military when I had all the opportunity.. God please forgive mine sin.... How can Nigeria military watch our constitution been violated and nothing happened.

Just in the name of politics or political differences many commenters are talking as if military take over is better than Democracy in Africa . Although Africans and their leaders are so great in nature. they forget that those leaders are the product of their Societies. I can't blame many commenters bcs many are the product of 1999 upward .they had never experience what is military administration in a country.

Treating African citizens like an animal
Cheating and stealing funds that belongs to people will end one day! That present government will be the one to eat the pain of the past bad leaders...

Without any sense of sentiment, we need to replicate this kind of treatment in Nigeria

The demonstrators were seen waving the Russian flag, this is to tell you they now know who the evil ones are and want them out of the country.

What has democracy brought.

They claim you have freedom..

The greatest freedom is financial freedom..

No let them decide you..

You will always have freedom..

Democracy is over rated in Africa.

Sahel region.
Are there enlightened people there?

Tribalism and Religion notwithstanding, one day, Nigerian politicians will learn their lessons the hard way!
