African Union Suspends Niger Over Coup

 

Al Jazeera: African Union suspends Niger with immediate effect over July 26 coup  

The AU said on Tuesday that it had noted ECOWAS’s plan of action regarding Niger and would ‘evaluate its repercussions’. 

The African Union has suspended Niger from the continental bloc with immediate effect, the latest of a number of sanctions on the West African country since last month’s coup. 

The decision, announced on Tuesday after a meeting of the AU’s Peace and Security Council in the Ethiopian capital of Addis Ababa, comes after several Western countries cut aid to Niger due to a July 26 coup that overthrew President Mohamed Bazoum.
