  • The United States condemns efforts to detain or subvert the functioning of Niger's democratically elected government, national security spokesperson John Kirby said on Wednesday.

"We specifically urged the elements of the presidential guard to release him (Bazoum) from detention and to refrain from any violence,” said Kirby during a White House briefing Wednesday.
