AU meets on Niger coup

The African Union said it was holding a meeting on Monday on the Niger crisis.
The meeting was initiated following the coup on July 26 that toppled President Mohamed Bazoum.
The Union said in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter reads “AU’s Peace & Security Council meets to receive an update on the evolution of the situation in Niger and the efforts to address it.”
The meeting was taking place at AU headquarters in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa, it said.
Those attending include AU Commission chief, Moussa Faki Mahamat as well as representatives from Niger and the West African bloc ECOWAS.
Faki had expressed deep concern at the reported poor conditions of Bazoum’s detention, calling his treatment at the hands of coup leaders “unacceptable.”
