Background<br \/>\nOn 26 July 2023, the President of Niger, Mohamed Bazoum, democratically elected on 2 April 2021, was overthrown by military\u00a0 united within the Conseil national pour la sauvegarde de la patrie (CNSP). According to the CNSP\u2019s spokesman, the removal of the President of Niger was a result of \u201cthe continuing deterioration in the security situation and poor economic and social governance\u201d (1). This makes Niger the fourth West African country to suffer a coup d\u2019\u00e9tat in three years, after Mali (August 2020 and May 2021), Guinea Conakry (September 2021) and Burkina Faso (January 2022) (2). The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) sanctions against Niger and its rejection of a three-year transition does not seem to be slowing the junta\u2019s momentum. In this light that the Nkafu Policy Institute of the Denis and Lenora Foretia Foundation has organized this discussion to discuss the challenges that lie ahead the country and West African States in general.<\/p>\n<p>Objectives<\/p>\n<p>The general objective of this twitter space is to analyse the impact of the coup d\u2019\u00e9tat in Niger on democracy and governance at both national and sub-regional level.
