The Ecowas bloc, chaired by the regional military powerhouse and Niger’s neighbour Nigeria, had given the troops that toppled President Mohamed Bazoum on 26 July a week to return him to power.
At the 30,000-seat Seyni Kountché Stadium, named after Niger’s first coup d’etat leader in 1974, CNSP leaders including Gen Mohamed Toumba greeted a jubilant crowd – and showed no sign of willingness to cede power.
