Military coup in Niger, "overthrowing the Bazoum regime"

Coup d'état in Niger. The military claimed to have overthrown the regime of President Mohamed Bazoum and read a statement on national television in Niamey through their spokesman.

"We, the defense and security forces gathered within the CNSP, have decided to put an end to the regime you know", that of President Bazoum, declared Colonel Amadou Abdramane flanked by nine other uniformed soldiers.

All institutions have been suspended, borders closed, and a 10pm to 5am curfew has been imposed, which will remain in effect until further notice.

Meanwhile, many states are calling for the immediate release of Bazoum and for the re-establishment of democracy.

The Italian Foreign Minister, Antonio Tajani, explained that the "approximately 170 Italians" who live in Niger "have all been contacted by the Crisis Unit of the Farnesina, and all have been asked to stay in their homes". "As far as our compatriots are concerned, they are safe," added the minister.
