The United States is deeply concerned about today's developments in Niger. We strongly condemn any effort to detain or subvert the functioning of Niger's democratically elected government, led by President Bazoum. We specifically urge elements of the presidential guard to release President Bazoum from detention and refrain from violence. We welcome the strong statements and steps taken by the Economic Community of West African States and the African Union to defend Niger's democracy. We are closely monitoring the situation to ensure the safety of our citizens.
