Niger: Mohamed and Hadiza Bazoum face isolation and threat

Mohamed Bazoum and Hadiza Bazoum are facing extreme psychological distress during their ongoing detention in Niger. The couple remains isolated in darkness, experiencing the constant threat of violence and the sounds of heavy gunfire near their location.

The situation highlights the precarious state of the current regime, which faces internal instability and mutinies. Critics argue that while the leadership claims to act in the name of national sovereignty, they are increasingly reliant on foreign security and mercenaries to maintain control and manage internal military conflicts.
