The head of Niger's army says he's supporting the soldiers who launched a coup against President Mohamed Bazoum. The presidential guard confined the deposed leader to his residence, where he has posted a defiant message on social media – and reportedly spoken to at least one world leader. The French foreign minister insists that the takeover isn't final. But France is Niger's former colonizer, and some want coup leaders to lean toward Moscow.

For more on this, we talk to our correspondent Amaka Okoye, who is covering this story from neighboring Nigeria.

And we talk to Abiol Lual Deng. She's is an international development consultant and East Africa regional analyst.

Also with us is German member of parliament Christoph Schmid (SPD), who reports on the European Union Military partnership Mission in Niger.
