African Union Suspends Niger After CoupThe African Union has suspended the membership of Niger a month after the coup by what they called a "faction of military officers". The body's Peace and Security Council (PSC) once again condemned the coup, and welcomed the actions taken by Ecowas since the ousting of President H.E. Mohamed Bazoum. General Abdourahamane Tchiani, leader of the Niger junta, said in a televised broadcast on Saturday night (August 19, 2023) that the army would hand over power to the civilian government within the next three years. The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) however, rejected this transition plan. Earlier on Saturday former Military Head of State, General Abdulsalami Abubakar, led an ECOWAS delegation to Niger in a last-ditch diplomatic effort to reach a peaceful solution with the junta. The delegation met with Prime Minister Ali Lamine Zeine who received them at the airport and led them to the presidential palace. They later met with the ousted Niger's president Mohamed Bazoum, after meeting Tchiani. It was after the first peace talks led by General Abubakar that ECOWAS activated its standby force.
