Last update: 3 hours ago

Niger Coup Fallout: Niger’s junta says the Aug. 29 mutiny plotters are in custody and will face military justice, after loyal forces regained control of key sites in Niamey. Regional Diplomacy: Nigeria’s foreign ministry rejected claims that Abuja or ECOWAS backed the Niger coup attempt, stressing Nigeria “will never support” unconstitutional change. Security & Military Capacity: Niger’s army says it seized a huge arsenal from Air Base 101 after the mutiny was crushed, including pickup trucks, heavy weapons, rocket launchers, rifles, ammunition and communications gear. Public Support & Legitimacy: Thousands rallied in Niamey to back General Abdourahamane Tiani after the failed mutiny, with officials accusing “sponsors abroad.” Press Freedom Under Strain: Reporters Without Borders says journalist Moussa Kaka, director of RTS, has been missing since Aug. 31, raising fears of forced disappearance amid heightened tensions. Sahel Instability: Fresh attacks in Tillabéri left civilians dead and livestock taken, underscoring how insecurity keeps spreading beyond the capital.
