Mister într-o țară africană: Televiziunea națională și-a oprit emisia și se aud focuri de armă în capitală, mai ales lângă punctul nevralgic al puterii

Niger's national television ceased broadcasting amid intense gunfire in Niamey, particularly near a military base. The junta led by General Tiani has been in power since a coup in July 2023, holding former President Bazoum captive. The origins of the gunfire remain unclear, but it appears more significant than previous jihadist attacks. Military forces are deployed to secure key areas, while residents report ongoing clashes. The situation is tense, with social media posts indicating explosions and military reinforcements near the airport, which houses Russian forces. Niger has faced frequent jihadist attacks since the mid-2010s, leading to a shift in alliances away from France towards Russia.
