NIAMEY, Niger (AP) — Niger’s president said Wednesday that some members of the presidential guard tried to move against him and that the army will attack if they don’t back down.
President Mohamed Bazoum’s official account tweeted that some in the presidential guard engaged in an “anti-Republican demonstration” and tried in vain to obtain the support of the other security forces.
The tweet said the president and his family were doing well, but that the army and the national guard were ready to attack if those involved didn’t change their minds.
