Electricity cuts, food price hikes and border closures are hitting hard in the already impoverished country.
DAKAR, Senegal — Ousmane Hassan, a 35-year-old Nigerien father of two, wonders when his savings will run out.
Civic leaders, activists and others in Niamey said in interviews that as time passes, the humanitarian situation worsens. Now, Niger also faces the prospect of a military intervention by its neighbors, which want the restoration of constitutional order in the country. The group, led by Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has declared the putsch in Niger a red line after coups in Mali, Burkina Faso and Guinea.
Laoual Sayabou, the coordinator of a network of human rights groups in Niamey, said that the sanctions had been severe and had deeply affected the lives of citizens but that many are still “continuing to fight to see their president and the institutions in which they had confidence freed.”“The Nigerien people elected President Bazoum, and it is him that we recognize,” said Sayabou, adding that support for the coup has been fueled by opportunists and propaganda targeting young people.
