Niger republic, for the first, and hopefully not the last time, the country witnessed a peaceful democratic transition of power in 63 years. President Mahamadou Issoufou escaped being toppled when he handed over power to Mohamed Bazoum in 2021. The country threaded on the path of democracy in the 21st Century, to the extent that the military deposed President Mamadou Tandja to halt his bid for extension of term in office. However, barely two years after the celebrated transition, the Nigerien Presidential Guards disrupt the country’s democratic thread.
