Guards blocked off access both to Bazoum's residence and the presidential offices in Niamey, although there was no abnormal military deployment or sounds of gunfire in the area, and traffic was normal, an AFP journalist saw.

If you no pity yourself, pity your parents. You can get locked up for this nonsense you just typed.

You don't need to mention Nigeria until your innuendo is classified as an incitement against the state.

The INTERIM head of State and mandate thief of the FRN, who unfortunately doubles as the INTERIM ECOWAS chairperson, I believe initiated an Anti-coup force. Well, here is a good, albeit negative way to test their effectiveness.
