Welcome to our latest report where we discuss the escalating tensions in West Africa, specifically in Niger. This video will provide you with all the latest updates on the situation, including the growing pressures from West African leaders on the coup leaders of Niger. 

The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has been very active in this situation, calling for the deployment of a regional standby force to restore constitutional order in Niger. We will delve into the details of this force, such as its size, specific duties, and more, which as of now, remain unclear to the public. 

Our coverage doesn't stop there. We also bring you insights from the Ivorian President, Alassane Ouattara. He has made a commitment that his country will provide between eight hundred and fifty to one thousand one hundred troops to bolster this force. This is a significant move that could potentially turn the tide in Niger. 

Niger's political landscape has been chaotic since President Mohamed Bazoum was overthrown last month. In response, ECOWAS had previously enacted sanctions and given a one-week ultimatum to the military junta in Niger. Now that this deadline has expired without any significant changes in the political situation, it seems like a turning point might be near. 

Despite the tension, ECOWAS leaders still prefer a diplomatic solution but are ready to use military force as a last resort. We will explore this delicate balance and the potential implications of such a decision. 

On the home front, thousands of junta supporters in Niamey, Niger's capital, have been protesting against France and ECOWAS. We will give you an on-ground perspective of these protests and their impact on the current situation. 

We also shed light on the United Nations' concern about the conditions of the detained former president. This is a critical humanitarian issue that needs attention. 

Finally, we will try to make sense of the potential timeline for military intervention, which is yet to be given. Assembling the ECOWAS troops could take time, and we will analyze the possible scenarios and outcomes of this. 

Stay tuned for our comprehensive coverage of this developing situation in Niger. Remember to like, share, and subscribe for more updates on this and other global issues.
