Niger: Pro-coup rally in Niger after threat of military intervention | Oneindia News
Several thousand people demonstrated in the capital of Niger on Sunday in support of last month's military coup, whose leader has warned against outside intervention while proposing a three-year transition of power.
The demonstrators chanted slogans hostile to former colonial power France and the West African regional bloc ECOWAS, which is considering a potential military operation to reinstate President Mohamed Bazoum if negotiations with coup leaders fail.
A tragic accident in Niger state, Nigeria, claimed at least 48 lives when a fuel tanker collided with a truck, leading to a massive explosion. The tanker, carrying gasoline and cattle, set two other vehicles on fire, with 50 cattle burned alive. Authorities recovered 48 bodies and conducted a mass burial. This incident highlights Nigeriaโs road safety issues, exacerbated by a lack of railway systems for cargo transportation, contributing to frequent fatal accidents.
