First exercise of its kind for the head of the junta since the July 26 coup. General Abdourahamane Tiani gave two interviews on Saturday evening, September 30, in Hausa and Zarma on national television Télé Sahel. Once again, he defends the coup d’état against Mohamed Bazoum and speaks about the upcoming departure of French troops. A week ago, French President Emmanuel Macron announced their withdrawal by the end of the year of some 1,500 soldiers present in Niger. And Ambassador Sylvain Itté left Niamey last Wednesday.
