Niger military stops rebellion with Russian aid
The ruling military council in Niger thwarted a military rebellion in Niamey and regained control of the vital 101 Air Base with the help of Russian personnel from the "African Legion." Fierce clashes took place, resulting in the deaths of several rebels, and the uprising involved the detention of fellow soldiers and gunfire at sensitive locations, before defense and security forces intervened and gradually regained control of the situation. Security forces confirm that the rebellion has ended, although divisions persist. Control is currently limited to the strategic base that houses the headquarters of the Sahel Alliance, which holds strategic importance due to its location as a main airport, amid clear Russian support for the Niger authorities in facing the rebellion.
