Soldiers in Niger have declared their takeover of power, detaining President Mohamed Bazoum since Wednesday.
The military announced the coup via a televised broadcast early on Thursday.
During the broadcast, ten military officers addressed President Bazoum directly, stating their seizure of power was to end the regime due to the “deteriorating security situation and bad governance.”
In their announcement, they declared the constitution dissolved, all institutions suspended, and the country’s borders closed.
