Exiled opposition groups say Niger's military leader has scotched all hopes of a return to democracy after he abolished local councils. | |
General Abdourahamane Tiani sacked directly elected mayors and councillors (in all of Niger's 265 communes) late on Thursday, replacing them with his nominees. | |
The State Court will on Friday hear a request to strip the immunity from prosecution of the man he forced from office, Mohamed Bazoum. | |
Since the coup last July, General Tiani has pivoted Niger away from its former allies, France and the US, and built closer ties with Russia. | |
Last month he ordered US troops to leave the base from which they have been conducting operations against Islamists in the Sahel. | |
