The West African nation of Niger gained independence from its former colonial power, France, on the 3rd of August, 1960. But since its independence, it has witnessed five coups, the most recent of which took place on the 26th of July, when the democratically elected president, Mohamed Bazoum, was toppled by the military, thereby bringing to an end the seventh Republic.
