Protests against intervention in Nigeria

Protests against possible military intervention have been held in the city of Kano in northern Nigeria.

People called on Nigerian President Bola Tinubu to support a diplomatic approach to resolving the crisis with Niger and accused the US and France of using ECOWAS to attack their neighbour.

People marched with flags of Nigeria and Niger and placards in solidarity with Niger's military government. People also chanted anti-war and anti-Western slogans.
