TOPSHOT - Supporters of Nigerien President Mohamed Bazoum gather to show their support for him in Niamey on July 26, 2023. An attempted coup was underway on July 26, 2023 in the fragile state of Niger, where members of the Presidential Guard detained President Mohamed Bazoum, triggering a standoff with the army, sources said. The West African bloc ECOWAS and the African Union lashed what they called an "attempted coup d'etat," a term echoed by a source close to Bazoum. (Photo by AFP) (Photo by -/AFP via Getty Images)
