Niger's new military commander Abdourahamane Tchiani escalated confrontation with a regional alliance that has threatened to use force if the country's democratically elected president is not restored by declaring that the junta will not submit to international pressure to cede control. The new commander warns that any aggression or attempted aggression against the State of Niger will see an immediate and unannounced response. Meanwhile, a recent message from Niger's President Mohamed Bazoum read, "I write this as a hostage. Niger is under attack from a military junta that is trying to overthrow our democracy ... I call on the U.S. government and the entire international community to help us restore our constitutional order." Niger Military Coup: General Abdourahamane Tchiani Named As New Leader After Revolt, Says Report.
