"Niger Junta Installs New Prime Minister in Leadership Shake-Up"

Niger's military junta has appointed Ali Mahaman Lamine Zeine as the new prime minister, as the international community seeks to restore constitutional order. Zeine, an economist by training, previously served as the country's finance minister and has experience in international organizations such as the African Development Bank. These appointments come amidst pressure from the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) to reinstate President Mohamed Bazoum, with the possibility of military intervention if the demand is not met.
