Unrest in Niger's capital: Cars torched as army supports coup

The coup was carried out the previous day by soldiers of the presidential guard, saying its priority was to avoid destabilizing the country. Some supporters waved Russian flags and chanted anti-French slogans, echoing a growing wave of resentment towards former colonial power France and its influence in the Sahel region. At Bazoum's party office, hundreds of people set fires to vehicles and buildings, while young men looted motorbikes, chairs, and other supplies from the building. Police later dispersed them with tear gas, a Reuters reporter said.
