Deployment of weapons and national guard In the light of the recent developments, it is safe to say that a coup d’état is well underway in Niger.
Indeed, the presidential guard that has taken President Bazoum Mohamed hostage since this morning refuses to retreat. The Army and the National Guard are currently deploying around the Presidential Palace.
According to our source, the Presidential Guard would have initially wanted the support of the military, which for its part would have refused to support the mutiny.
