The fuck is this article? What are the differences in ideologies between the military and the government? Is there any history of this conflict? How long has this president been in office? Most BBC readers probably have no idea about anything in Niger, myself included
Considering this is 16 minutes old and a currently happen situation, it’s very likely BBC doesn’t keep that information on hand, and likely has to go source that.

The root cause of this is Islamic jihadism sprawling out of control across the Sahel. it’s causing a ton of instability and governments are struggling to withstand it.
It’s the reason Wagner is in the region to begin with, and why Western militaries have a presence in the region. Definitely plays an important role in international interest as well.
I don't think the death penalty should ever have been used. It certainly doesn't have any place in today's society. Get rid of it already. Ghana is just about to abolish it. So should the rest of the world.
