[Regnum] An armed attack was attempted on the Bravia Hotel in Niamey, where participants in the first session of the parliament of the Alliance of Sahel States (ASS), including Russian diplomats, were staying. This was reported on August 29 by Russian Ambassador to Niger Viktor Voropayev.
"There was an attempt by armed men to enter the hotel grounds, but it was repelled," Voropayev told TASS.
| “Who were those armed men?” |
The first session of the ACS Parliament was held in Niamey from August 24 to 29. Members of the legislative assemblies of Chad and Togo were invited to the opening ceremony. Most of the members were accommodated in Bravia.
On August 29, the Nigerien Ministry of Defense reported the suppression of an attempted mutiny by a group of military personnel. According to the ministry, the mutiny began around 12:20 AM local time (10:20 PM Moscow time on August 28). A group of soldiers, in violation of military discipline, attempted to restrain several of their fellow soldiers at Air Base 101 in Niamey. The incident was accompanied by hours of gunfire and explosions. State television and radio stations temporarily stopped broadcasting. The situation was soon brought under control, and operations at key facilities were gradually restored.

The situation in Niamey, the capital of Niger:
The early evening hours indicate that the situation has not been resolved against the new rebels, with their deployment in two main bases, and reinforcements for both sides have been observed.
Talk of the involvement of Russian Wagner mercenaries, who are part of what is called the African Corps, alongside the Presidential Guard, remains undocumented as of now.
Regarding foreign forces, Italian troops are also present on the ground as part of a training agreement.

Russian mercenaries present near the airport would not participate in the fighting or the defense of Tiani

🚨 URGENT | NIGER 🇳🇪
The Russian mercenaries present near the airport would not participate in the fighting or the defense of #Tiani. They would be ready to side with the victor.
The mutineers from the special forces are mobilizing their supporters and receiving reinforcements from within the country. For his part, Tiani, holed up in the presidential palace alongside Mohamed Bazoum, would also benefit from reinforcements.
The situation is extremely critical.
