Niger came under military leadership on July 26 after Nigerien President Mohamed Bazoum was ousted and detained by his own guard, led by Gen. Abdourahamane Tchiani.
Most Western countries as well as the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) condemned it. In early August, ECOWAS adopted a plan for a potential military intervention in Niger.
