West African nations have imposed sanctions on Niger’s new military leaders following a coup to overthrow President Mohamed Bazoum last week. Coup leaders have warned against any foreign attempts to extract the democratically elected Bazoum, and they’ve accused former colonial ruler France of plotting a military intervention - which France denies. The allegations are the latest communications from the coup organizers who blamed insecurity, the economy and poor governance as reasons to depose the government, in a televised statement. And now there are growing concerns of an escalation on the ground, which could have broader implications on peace and security in the region. So what’s driving this power struggle in Niger and what happens next?

On a stormy night in July 2005, South Sudanese rebel-leader-turned-Vice-President John Garang de Mabior was flying back to Sudan after a two-day visit to his longtime friend, President Yoweri Museveni of Uganda.
An hour into the journey, his helicopter crashed in a remote mountain area, killing everyone on board.
Air crash investigators concluded that bad weather and pilot error were the likely causes, but a range of theories have since emerged.
Is it possible that the death of Garang was more than an unfortunate accident? Garang's supporters, political opponents, and bodyguards, as well as journalists piece together the last days of his life.

![Did Western Military Presence Help Foster Coup in Niger, Where U.S. Has Drone Base & 1,000+ Troo](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/KLCd6vxniow/maxresdefault.jpg)

We look at the growing crisis in Niger, where the country's democratically elected president, Mohamed Bazoum, was overthrown last week by his own presidential guard. One of the coup's leaders, Brigadier General Moussa Salaou Barmou, was trained by the U.S., making the Nigerien coup the 11th in West Africa since 2008 to involve U.S.-trained military officers. The U.S. has approximately 1,000 troops in Niger, where it's also spent $100 million building a drone base in its ongoing "war on terror." The Biden administration has so far refused to describe last week's event as a coup, because doing so would force Washington to cut security aid to Niger. While the reasons for the coup are still unclear, it is part of a worrying trend in the region, where "countries that have oversized involvement of the military in political life … are far more likely to have an ongoing pattern of military coups," according to Stephanie Savell, the co-director of the Costs of War Project at Brown University's Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs.

A military coup took place on July 26th in Niger. The military took power and Niger’s president Mohamed Bazoum, who was a staunch ally of the West was ousted.
While the west is aghast - not everyone is hostile to the coup in Niger. Amid a rising Russia sentiment in the region, Junta led Burkina Faso and Mali have declared that any foreign military intervention in Niger against coup leaders would be considered a declaration of war against them, too.

![African leaders set for emergency meeting after Niger coup – BBC News](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/uqX7J8z5yMg/maxresdefault.jpg)

Leaders from West Africa are set to meet at an emergency summit, after Niger’s army took power in a coup.
It comes after the EU suspended all security cooperation with the nation, and the US declared its "unflagging support" for ousted president Mohamed Bazoum - seen as a key Western ally in the fight against Islamist militants.
On Friday the head of the presidential guards unit Gen Abdourahmane Tchiani declared himself Niger's new leader, and there are concerns about which countries he will align with. The leader of Russia's Wagner mercenary group Yevgeny Prigozhin has reportedly described the coup as a triumph.
