Following the meeting on Monday, the minister underlined the decision of Mali and Burkina Faso to "participate fully in self-defense operations" of the Nigerien forces in the event of an intervention. On Monday, Mali and Burkina Faso sent a delegation to Niger to demonstrate their solidarity with the country's military leaders. On July 26, Niger's presidential guard ousted and detained President Mohamed Bazoum. The guard's commander, Gen. Abdourahmane Tchiani, proclaimed himself the president of the caretaker National Council for the Safeguard of the Homeland. On July 31, the 15-members Economic Community of West African States condemned the coup, suspended financial aid to the country, and gave Niger's coup leaders one week to reinstate the detained president, or the community would use "all measures," including military, to restore order in the African nation. As the week expired on Sunday, no sign of the military intervention in Niger was present. The military governments of Mali and Burkina Faso warned that any military intervention against Niger would be considered a declaration of war against them.
