Days after coup, Niger Junta's call for civilian volunteers sees ‘thousands’ turn up

Niger coup: Residents braces for worst as deadline of military action by West African nations arrives
Associated Press analysis mentions the take of Nigeria's Senate on Saturday which urged its President to explore options other than military ones. Nigeria President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is the current chair of ECOWAS where decisions are taken by consensus with member states. Moreover, any military action against Niger is likely to create more chaos in the region, and two non-ECOWAS countries Algeria and Chad with strong militaries have warned against any military action against the Niger coup leader and have said any such action will be a “declaration of war" against them too.
