Niger Coup: Soldiers announce removal of President, taking country over on National TV|Oneindia News
The West African nation of Niger is dealing with a military coup of the civilian administration.
Soldiers in Niger said that they have removed President Mohamed Bazoum from power, after armed troops earlier blockaded the presidential palace in Niamey, the capital in one of the world’s most unstable nations.
Late last night, a group of soldiers appeared on the west African country’s national television a few hours after the president had been detained, to announce the coup.
This is the fifth coup in west Africa in the past four years.
Bazoum, who was democratically elected in 2021, is a close ally of France.
The country’s last coup had occurred in February 2010, overthrowing the then-president, Mamadou Tandja.
In a surprising turn of events, US soldier Gordon Black, detained in Vladivostok, Russia, pleads guilty to theft charges. Get the latest updates on this developing story from Russia's RIA state news agencies. Stay tuned for more details.

Houthi rebels claimed targeting a U.S. Navy destroyer and a commercial ship in the Red Sea, though the warship intercepted the missile days prior. The statement follows a slowdown in Houthi attacks on shipping, attributed by the U.S. military to airstrikes and interceptions. The attacks are purportedly aimed at pressuring Israel regarding the conflict in Gaza, resulting in disruptions to shipping activity.
