Niger: Schimburi de focuri şi explozii violente în capitala Niamey • Newsweek România

Violent clashes erupted in Niamey, Niger's capital, involving military insurgents and the presidential guard, following a night of explosions. General Abdourahamane Tiani, who seized power in July 2023, remains in control, with the presidential guard loyal to him. Attempts by insurgents to breach the presidential palace were thwarted, and gunfire continues in the area. Similar incidents occurred in June and January, targeting the airport and government buildings. The nearby airbase, previously housing German soldiers, now hosts Russian mercenaries and Turkish drones.
