Niger Coup Attempt: Tchiani Survives as Russia, Algeria, Sahel Allies Back Niamey | Firstpost Africa
Watch this video as Firstpost examines how Niger's military government survived its most serious internal challenge since the 2023 coup, after mutinous soldiers launched an uprising in the capital, Niamey. The failed coup attempt targeted strategic sites including Air Base 101, the presidential palace and the state broadcaster, exposing deep tensions inside Niger's military. Russia's Africa Corps intervened to help Nigerien forces suppress the mutiny, reinforcing Moscow's growing security role across the Sahel. Days later, Algeria also deployed four Sukhoi fighter jets to Niamey after Niger requested military support, adding another layer to the emerging security alignment around General Abdourahamane Tchiani. The crisis comes as Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso reduce their reliance on Western powers and deepen cooperation through the Alliance of Sahel States. But with jihadist attacks continuing and dissent now emerging from within the military, questions remain over how stable Niger's new political order really is.
