Text: Coups in the Sahel Region The Sahel region has experienced several coups since August 2020 in countries plagued by terrorism, before the current one in Niger. After a day of tension in Niamey, putschist soldiers announced in the evening on national television that they had overthrown the democratically elected President Mohamed Bazoum, in power since 2021. They justified this coup d'état by "the continuous deterioration of the security situation" in Niger. The junta, which brings together all the corps of the army, the gendarmerie, and the police, suspended the institutions, closed the land and air borders, and established a curfew. However, the overthrown and sequestered president maintained that he represented the legitimate authorities of the country, until he realised that the situation could no longer be reversed. In Mali two coups occurred in 9 months. On August 18, 2020, Malian President Ibrahim Boubacar Keïta was overthrown after several months of political crisis. On October 5, a transitional government was formed, supposed to return power to civilians within 18 months. But on May 24, 2021, the military arrested the President and the Prime Minister after the appointment of a new transitional government which displeased them. Colonel Assimi Goïta was invested in June as transitional president. Likewise, Burkina Faso also had two putsches in 8 months. In fact, on January 24, 2022, soldiers in uniform announced on public television that they had seized power and ousted President Roch Marc Christian Kaboré. Lieutenant-Colonel Paul-Henri Sandaogo Damiba is sworn in as president on February 16. But on the evening of September 30, Damiba was in turn removed from his post by the military, in favour of Captain Ibrahim Traoré who was invested as transitional president until a presidential election scheduled for July 2024. This future election is supposed to allow a return of civilians to power. At the beginning of 2023, he obtains the departure of French troops and approaches Russia and Mali.
