Niger’s capital calm as deadline to reinstate president expires FMTNews FMTWorld

NIAMEY: Niger’s capital was calm today, with citizens appearing to pay little heed to the threat of military intervention by West Africa’s regional bloc, as its ultimatum for the country’s coup leaders to reinstate the president expires.

Around 100 people set up a picket line near an air base in Niamey and pledged to offer non-violent resistance in support of the new military administration if needed. “I am not worried because I know that any military intervention by Ecowas in Niger would be a loss for this organisation. It is not in the interest of its leaders.” said 59-year-old housewife Hadjo Hadjia in a mostly empty street of the capital today morning.
