Unrest In Republic Of The Niger! Russian Propaganda May Have Sparked It!

The African Union, the European Union, the United States, Great Britain and United Nations do not recognize the new government of the Republic of the Niger.

The Americans who are staying or vacationing in Niger are in told to stay inside. 

The military shutdown the border and airports. They are curfews in effect and martial law.

The African Union warns of military action if they don't restore order.

Niger is a former French colony that gained independence in 1969. The country is a majority religious Muslim country. It is one of the poorest countries in the AUN. There are fears that al Qaeda and the Islamic State (Daesh/Da'ish) will foster growth. Also the Russian Federation and its former ally the Wagner Group are pleased that Nigeriens are total anti-West. 

It seems like Russian propaganda managed to soak into the country and it led to an armed coup d'etat. The president, Mohamed Bazoum was deposed by the military and is being held at the Presidential Palace in the capital of Niamey, Niger.

Deposed president Mohamed Bazoum and military commander Abdourahame Tchiani.

The presidential guard commander general Abdourahamane Tchiani proclaimed himself as the leader of a new military junta. Presidential guard forces closed the country's borders, suspended state institutions, and declared a curfew.

A pro-coup demonstration took place on July 27 with about 1,000 supporters of the junta flying Russian flags, voicing support for the Wagner Group, and throwing rocks at a passing politician's vehicle. The demonstrators also denounced the French presence and that of other foreign bases. Other demonstrators gathered outside the headquarters of Bazoum's PNDS-Tarayya party, with footage showing them stoning and setting fire to vehicles. They then subsequently ransacked and burned the premises, forcing police to disperse them with tear gas. Demonstrations also occurred in front of the National Assembly. This prompted the Interior Ministry in the evening to ban on all demonstrations with immediate effect. Civil servants were also told to stay home.
