Niger faces heavy clashes near presidency
Violent clashes erupted around the presidential palace in the capital, Niamey, Niger, amid rising influence of the military alliance led by the Nigerien army following the July 2023 coup that ousted President Mohamed Bazoum. It is worth noting that military governments in Niger, Mali, and Burkina Faso have distanced themselves from the West and established closer ties with Russia, leading to a security alliance focused on combating insurgencies linked to Al-Qaeda and ISIS. The clashes have continued despite ongoing attacks and dismissals, which have resulted in casualties, with no official comment from the Nigerien government to date.
