Niger’s presidency has said members of the presidential guard tried to move against President Mohamed Bazoum in an apparent coup attempt, warning that the army was ready to attack them if they did not back down.
The presidency’s official Twitter account said on Wednesday that presidential guards engaged in an “anti-Republican demonstration” and tried “in vain” to obtain the support of the other security forces.

The coupist will bring in the Wagner group to consolidate their hold on power, this maybe their redline because relationship with the western governments and Russia will now go south furthermore
Even dough our leaders are not doing the right thing for us and the country we still don't agree with any one that will take leadership from by force by fire
My man said Nigeria not Niger lol
African countries can't progress because of seizing power by force, they don't believe in elections.
How can the control their borders they have the foreigner military bases.
just another day in the continent
The Western Hands gradually cut from Africa. Niger must also free from colonial French LANGUAGE.
Wagner doing well in Africa. Colonial days are back, with Russia and China in full force 💪💪 🇨🇳 🇷🇺 ❤
We need this in Kenya
What has this 'presiden't even done for Niger-ians? they're always escaping and making the migration to France. Ask yourselves, how much is this president and his family worth?
😂😂😂😂😂 Nigeria government is a joker😂😂
China brings prosperity, peace, investment and unconditional help to all the nations of the world, The British🥓France and Unite🍟States brings, weapons, war, deceit, death and destruction to all the nations of the world and after the destruction of your country the monarchy owner of corporations used the USA-British-France-ARMY to secure the robbery of your country natural resources, including the infrastructure and the land where it set. Now they are arming Taiwan and using the Dollar as a legal way of stealing from other nations and they are grooming South Korea and Japan for a war against China in Taiwan territory 2029
Another day, another coup in an African country. No one is surprised, it's the way things are done.
The knifes are off in the world .
Nigeria 🇳🇬 military do the needful
Our prayers are being answered elsewhere 😢
Watching live from Minna Niger state Nigeria.
Why French people killed a hole continent
This what happened in Niger is people will army just helped to overthrow corrupt president, better by force than to have civil war and further destruction of the country by debt and corruption.
Another election day in Africa, don't be bothered people, that's how we change presidents in Africa.
I'm really speechless 😊
Not good for the President, to be hostage in his Palace with some crazy gards that think that they can coupe without any problems. This is now a chess game and the Queen is trapped, by the crazy player. Money is also involved combined with armed treath against the President, makes it very dangerous for him.
Putin maybe behind this coup
Bazoum had sold out Niger to the US and France who had free access to their Uranium, and Oil reserves, While the population of Nijer die in misery in the dark, Al Jazira, you dont talk about his dont you?
Bazoum had allowed French Neo-colonial armies and NATO occupiers that Malians had kicked out to settle in Niger and destablize the sahel , you dont talk about his dont you?
Bazoum is a Lybian, wormer reblels in Mali, put in Power in Nijer by France to defend its interests, Al Jazira, Why you dont talk about that?
Bazoum was the biggest supporter of Terrorism in the Sahel regions, Al Jazira, why dont you talk about this ? Filthy Propagandas medias 😂
You will not stop the patriotic and anti-colonial revolutions in West Africa by your lies and Propagandas
Al Jazira, the Malian authority have caught French army dropping munitions, weapons and foods by helicopter to terrorist groups in the North of Mali, in the middle of the night, have you ever informed your brainwashed audiences about that ?
Please NIGERIA intervene
Good
Nigerian is next, I love this. Bad government everywhere
Zonji will be so proud
Very well done we have been waiting for this for a very longtime now! Him and his cronies have destroyed that country!!!
Talking tough? Why can't you say he condemned the coup? And why are you hinting the Nigerian government was involved the the coup? When has an African country ever planned a coup in neighbouring nation?
Ukraine all over again
I pray them remove tinubu like this 😭
Ghana president is the chairman of ECOWASS under his belt too much of such in ECOWASS question him too. Too much Coup under Ghana president 's belt.
It’s a full blown coup. Not an attempt
It's not coup attempt, the corrupt western puppets president has been removed from office. Pls stop calling it attempted coup, the regime change was successful.
Moreover, the current Ecowas chairman did his own coup in civilian way earlier this year. You can't condemned this one and exonerate the one that ushered in the Ecowas chairman. Coup is coup whether it's civilian or military.
Nothing is uncertainties it’s you, have created such situations for stolen the wealth from the Africa . Who’s created iss, bokoharam?
America and Europe are behind corruption in the world
As long as france does not stop exploiting West African countries in the name of debt, these countries cannot develop.
May Allah protect the Niger people Ameen🤲
