Soldiers in the West African country of Niger Republic have announced a coup on national Television, and have dissolved the constitution, suspended all institutions and closed the nation’s borders.
In the TV announcement , Col Maj Amadou Abdramane, alongside nine other uniformed soldiers behind him, said: “We, the defence and security forces… have decided to put an end to the regime you know.
“This follows the continuing deterioration of the security situation, and poor economic and social governance.”
He also said that all of the country’s institutions had been suspended and that the heads of the ministries would take care of day-to-day business.
“All external partners are asked not to interfere,” he went on. “Land and air borders are closed until the situation has stabilized.”
Some soldiers from the presidential guard had detained Niger’s democratically elected President Mohamed Bazoum since early on Wednesday, before the coup announcement.
