‘s democratically elected president, announcing on state television late Wednesday that they have put an end to the government over the African country’s deteriorating security.
The announcement came after a day of uncertainty as members of Niger’s presidential guard surrounded the presidential palace and detained President. It was unclear where the president was at the time of the announcement or if he had resigned. The group, which is calling itself National Council for the Safeguarding of the Country, said it remained committed to its engagements with the international and national community.
The commissions of the African Union and the Economic Community of West African States described the events as an effort to unseat, who was elected president two years ago in the nation’s first peaceful, democratic transfer of power since its independence from France in 1960.
