Niger: Thousands rally in Niamey in support of coup d’état


Niamey (AFP) – Thousands gather in Niger’s capital in support of the coup that toppled the democratically elected government, as Western countries grow increasingly concerned about regional security. In the heart of Niamey, demonstrators, some waving giant Russian flags, chant anti-French slogans at the rally organized to mark the anniversary of the West African country’s independence from France in 1960.
