In response to the recent coup in Niger Republic, military juntas have appointed new governors for the nation’s eight regions. The announcement was made by the coup leaders’ spokesperson, Amadou Abdramane, during a press conference held on Tuesday.
The newly appointed governors and their respective regions are as follows:
Agadez – Brigade General Ibro Boulama
Dosso – Brigadier General Iro Oumarou

Meanwhile, the United States’ position on the coup remains neutral. The White House spokesperson, John Kirby, stated that there is no indication that Russia was involved in the coup d’état. The United States also maintains its presence in the country, as there is no identified threat to its citizens. However, the future of aid provided to Niger is yet to be decided.
As the situation unfolds, the international community will be closely monitoring developments in Niger Republic and its impact on regional stability.
