On Wednesday, the Nigerien military announced they had overthrown Nigerien President Mohamed Bazoum, closed borders and imposed a curfew in the country "until further notice." It came hours after members of the presidential guard detained the president at his residence and sealed off access to offices in the Nigerien capital of Niamey.
