In the bustling capital city of Niger, Niamey, a significant number of protesters have flooded the streets in a show of solidarity with the soldiers who declared the overthrow of President Mohamed Bazoum. The demonstrators took to the streets, expressing their support for the military’s actions, resulting in the ransacking of the ruling PNDS Tarayya party’s office, and the setting ablaze of vehicles and property on Thursday.
The tumultuous events unfolded during a meeting of politicians from the ruling party at their office, with uncertainty prevailing due to the military’s announcement of taking control of the government. Although the attack on the office occurred, there have been no immediate reports of casualties, and authorities have not provided an official statement regarding the protests or the extent of the damage caused. Witnesses have conveyed that the situation has now returned to a state of relative normalcy.
The preceding day, Niger also witnessed large-scale protests from individuals opposing the military’s takeover of power. The dissenting crowd fervently chanted in support of President Mohamed Bazoum, who, at that time, was under detainment by the soldiers.
The situation in Niger remains highly charged and fluid, with differing factions expressing their viewpoints vehemently. As the nation navigates through this delicate period, the world watches closely to see how events will unfold and what path the country will take in the days to come.
