TL;DR

Niger's President Mohamed Bazoum, who was democratically elected two years ago, has been detained by the military since last Wednesday when a coup was launched. In a Washington Post op-ed, Bazoum warned that the coup could have devastating consequences for the region and highlighted the growing Russian influence in the Sahel region. He called on the US and the international community to help restore constitutional order in Niger. The US has called for Bazoum's immediate release and stated that there is no change to its military posture in Niger.
