West African countries have imposed sanctions on Niger’s new military leaders, threatening to use force if they fail to reinstate ousted President Mohamed Bazoum within a week, after the latest coup in the Sahel region raised alarm on the continent.
In the third coup in as many years to topple a leader in the Sahel, Niger’s elected president and Western ally, Bazoum, has been held by the military since Wednesday.
General Abdourahmane Tchiani, the head of the powerful presidential guard, has declared himself leader.

Al Jazeera’s Ahmed Idris reports from Abuja, in neighbouring Nigeria.
