Niger’s Bazoum warns of ‘devastating’ fallout for world if coup succeeds

Niger’s ousted President Mohamed Bazoum has called on the international community to return his government to power, warning of “devastating” consequences for the world if the coup against him succeeds.

In an op-ed in the Washington Post, Bazoum, who was deposed last week by the military, said the United States and the rest of the international community must help his country “restore our constitutional order”.
