Mohamed Bazoum
Heavy gunfire was heard near Niger’s presidency in the early hours of Wednesday, two days ahead of the swearing-in of president-elect Mohamed Bazoum, a Reuters reporter said.
Heavy gunfire started around around 3 a.m. local time (0200 GMT) and lasted for around 30 minutes.
There have been growing attacks by Islamist militants, and political tensions in the country following the Bazoum’s victory in a February presidential election runoff. Former president Mahamane Ousmane, who lost in the runoff, has rejected the results and said there was fraud.
