Why the Niger Coup is Worse Than You Think
Several coup de ta’s around the African continent threaten to spiral out of control into a much wider conflict. France and the US seem to be getting sidelined in favor of Russia. French military forces have been located in the region for the past ten years. European countries, the EU and the United Nations have intersts here. Niger’s elite presidential guard, trained in part by the United States, had the sole purpose of protecting the Presidency and yet on July 26th 2023 they overthrew the democratically elected government. Guy come on, you had one job! But all hope isn’t lost because In response, a bloc of West African nations told the coup leaders that they have to reinstate the ousted president or face military intervention.

Early Wednesday morning July 26th, 2023, at 4:33 AM, the Niger Presidential Office began making unusual posts on the social media platform formally known as Twitter. This tweet read: “The President of the Republic and his family are doing well. The Army and the National Guard are ready to attack the elements of the GP involved in this mood swing if they do not return to better feelings.” that sounds pretty sus to me whats going on over there?
Behind the screens, a group of high-ranking military officers arrested the President at his palace, essentially holding him hostage. The Junta called themselves “The National Council for the Safeguard of the Homeland” For all the average infantrymen out there, Junta means a military or political group that rules a country after taking power by force. Then a spokesperson for the junta got on TV wearing the most strikingly blue blazer and said quote; “The defence and security forces … have decided to put an end to the regime you are familiar with.” Instantly nations around the world condemned these actions as “illegal,” Later that morning, as Niger’s citizens in the capital of Neeamay woke up to the news and responded with pro-democracy protests outside the Presidential Palace.
