‘Unconstitutional change’ in Niger condemned by UN

Secretary-general of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, has “strongly condemns the unconstitutional change in government” in Niger, according to a statement released by his spokesperson on Wednesday.

The coup was declared on national television by Nigerien soldiers, who claimed to have suspended all institutions, dissolved the constitution, and locked the country’s borders.

In a statement released by his spokesperson Stephane Dujarric, Mr. Guterres said he was “deeply disturbed” by President Mohamed Bazoum’s incarceration and was “concerned for his safety and well-being.”

“The Secretary-General calls for an immediate end to all actions undermining democratic principles in Niger,” Mr Dujarric added.
