Original Note:
The Niger coup was not a popular revolt. The head of the Presidential Guard, Abdourahamane Tchiani, detained Mohammed Bazoum, the legitimate president (democratically elected in 2021), and proclaimed himself head of the National Council for the Safeguard of the Homeland. https://www.forbes.com/sites/anafaguy/2023/07/27/what-you-need-to-know-about-the-apparent-coup-in-niger/
