Niger’s coup leaders say they will try ousted president Mohamed Bazoum for high treason and undermining the country’s security. President Bazoum has been confined to his official residence since being deposed by the military last month. The move to prosecute him comes after the coup leaders indicated that they were open to resolving a standoff with West African nations demanding the president’s restoration.
