In this video, we provide an in-depth analysis of the latest developments, diplomatic responses, and military concerns stemming from the recent coup in Niger. Covering a wide range of topics, we delve into the reactions of various countries and international organizations, shedding light on their stances, decisions, and actions in relation to the crisis.

From the closure of Niger's airspace and the suspension of aid by multiple nations, to the rejection of military intervention by Algeria's President Tebboune, we explore the complex web of geopolitical dynamics at play. Discover how different countries are navigating this sensitive situation, including Italy's troop reduction to accommodate civilians at its military base, and Canada's suspension of support to the Niger government.

Our analysis extends to regional organizations such as ECOWAS and the AU, as well as the involvement of key players like France, the US, and Russia. Uncover the perspectives and efforts of these actors, including the rejection of ECOWAS military action by Russia, and France's response to accusations by Niger coup leaders.

Additionally, we delve into the internal developments within Niger, including the formation of a new government by the coup leaders and their interactions with various delegations. Explore the role of former Nigerian emir of Kano in the unfolding events, and gain insights into the implications of the coup on neighboring countries like Burkina Faso and Mali.
