Nigeriens are threatening to storm the French base and the Embassy, unless France and its troops leaves Niger within a week.

A survey by Premise Data, a pollster, suggests that most people in West Africa approve of the recent coup in Niger (see chart). Respondents in Ivory Coast, Ghana, Mali and Nigeria also generally cast doubt on calls for the Economic Community of West African States (ecowas), a regional bloc, to intervene militarily to put the ousted president, Mohamed Bazoum, back in power.

In ECOWAS countries preparing to invade Niger, the majority of the population supports the military who has come to power in Niger, according to a new The Economist poll The second part of the survey is interesting. Russia is most trusted by the population of Mali (of the countries participating in the survey) and Côte d’Ivoire. In Nigeria and Ghana, Russia is more trusted by the US and the UN.

60% of Nigerians told pollsters that they support the Coup in Niger and that their government should not attack Niger. 79% of Malian told Pollsters expressed their support for Nigerien military, 56% of Ghanaians expressed similar sentiment.
