Nairobi, July 26 (AFP\/APP): The African Union on Wednesday condemned “an attempted coup d’etat” in Niger after President Mohamed Bazoum was detained by members of the presidential guard, according to a source close to him.<\/p>\n

“Informed of an attempt by certain members of the military to undermine the stability of democratic & republican institutions in #Niger, tantamount to an attempted coup d’\u00e9tat, the Chairperson of the AU Commission, H.E. Moussa Faki Mahamat, strongly condemns such actions,” Faki posted on his official social media.<\/p>\n

Members of the presidential guard on Wednesday morning sealed off access to the president’s residence and offices, and after talks broke down “refused to release the president,” a presidential source said.<\/p>\n

In a message on Twitter, which is being rebranded as X, AU chief Faki accused the soldiers of “acting in total betrayal of their republican duty”.<\/p>\n

He urged them to “immediately cease these unacceptable actions” and return to their barracks.<\/p>\n

The West African bloc ECOWAS also condemned the “attempted coup” and called on the “plotters” to release Bazoum immediately and without condition.<\/p>\n

A close ally of France, Bazoum was elected in 2021, taking the helm of a country mired in poverty and burdened by a history of chronic instability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
