A army takeover came about in Niger on July 26 and noticed Nigerien President Mohamed Bazoum ousted and detained by his personal guard, led by Gen. Abdourahamane Tchiani.
Following the occasions, ECOWAS suspended all monetary support to Niger, froze rebels’ belongings and imposed a ban on business flights to and from the nation. In early August, throughout a summit within the Nigerian capital of Abuja, ECOWAS leaders agreed to activate a standby power to doubtlessly compel the Nigerien army to reinstate Bazoum.
