General Tchiani, a former UN peacekeeper, seized power in Niger, leading a coup that overthrew President Mohamed Bazoum. His appointment as the head of the National Council for the Safeguard of the Homeland has sparked concerns about ethnic tensions. The power struggle between Tchiani and Bazoum, fueled by attempts to assert authority and distance himself from his predecessor, led to the coup. Tchiani's actions have raised concerns about Russian influence and the potential impact on foreign forces stationed in Niger.
