Niger’s military-led government says it contained mutiny: What next?

Mutiny began at a military base in Niamey and spread to area near the presidential palace and state broadcaster.

Niger said it contained a mutiny by soldiers who detained some of their colleagues at a military base and fired on sites in the capital, the first major challenge from within the armed forces to the junta that seized power three years ago.

Niger’s military says it’s “gradually regaining control” after a mutiny at an army base near the international airport in Niamey.
