According to SVR, intelligence data shows that the US is not satisfied with developments in Niger following the recent military takeover. Washington is considering slowing down the process of Africa becoming one of the centers of multipolar world, as well as taking over France’s sphere of influence in the Sahel region. "The White House is working on various options for ‘strengthening democracy’ in Niger. It is considered unjustified to do this with the help of the Economic Community of West African Countries (ECOWAS), which has close ties to Paris. The Americans consider the physical elimination of the ‘coup leaders’ who rely on the support of the majority of the population as a more ‘effective’ option. US intelligence agencies directly discuss the issue of potential perpetrators of possible assassination attempts with partners," the SVR said in a statement.A power takeover in Niger took place on July 26. Bazoum was ousted and detained by his own guard, led by Gen. Abdourahamane Tchiani. Most Western countries as well as ECOWAS condemned it. In early August, ECOWAS adopted a plan for a potential military intervention in Niger.
