Al Jazeera: Niger puts military on ‘maximum alert’ over ECOWAS attack fears
Move comes as thousands gather at a stadium in the capital Niamey in support of the coup-makers.
The new military rulers in Niger ordered the armed forces to go on maximum alert citing an increased threat of attack.
The main West African bloc ECOWAS has been trying to negotiate with the leaders of the July 26 coup, but has said it is ready to deploy troops to restore constitutional order if diplomatic efforts fail.
An internal document issued by its defence chief, which was shared widely online on Saturday, said the order to be on the highest state of readiness would allow forces to respond adequately in case of any attack and “avoid a general surprise”.
“Threats of aggression to the national territory are increasingly being felt,” it said.

From everything I’ve seen and read it seems the people support this new government. So why are the French getting involved? Why are they trying to start a multi country war? Where are all the Trump haters and Zelensky lovers on this one?

France gets uranium from Niger not oil. if u r going to go the imperialists want cheaper resources route, at least get the resource right.
po' blighter thinks he ca out dog canines. doesn't have the stomach for it.
Dunce. Nigeria is one of the largest oil producers for Europe.
Niger is a side show. To protect Nigeria.
The added bonus is that this is about regional influence.. the west does not want an independent nation in that area that is not aligned with them.
If you cannot think one or two steps ahead in a situation, not my fault. But I assure you the planners in the pentagon are.
so true lol
Dunce. Nigeria is one of the largest oil producers for Europe.
Niger
Nigeria
Two different words.
Two different names.
Niger is big (?) in uranium.
Nigeria in oil.
Not sure why we need either because liberal mutherfockers have promised us nirvana with green energy in 6 years ( ~ 2030 ).
Besides we spend so much time, energy and attention on building windmills, we pay no attention to transmission line maintenance ( $50,000 over 2o or 3 years in Maui) that down lines starting fires is actually a concern. Crispy corpses need no energy form oil or uranium.
Nigeria, Chad and Niger do have something in common. Boko Haram.
Boko Haram should be history, but Muslim president Obama forbade Boko Haram's destruction, when Nigeria had Boko Haram on the ropes.
