"US Embassy Partially Evacuated as Military Coups Surge in Africa, Raising Concerns of Impending War in Niger"

The United States has ordered a partial evacuation of its embassy in Niger following last week's coup, with hundreds of foreign nationals already evacuated. Protests in support of the coup are expected to take place on Niger's independence day, despite an official ban on demonstrations. France has asked the military junta to guarantee the security of their embassy after it was attacked by protesters. The US remains committed to the restoration of Niger's democratically elected government and has warned that the coup could lead to the suspension of all cooperation.
