Niger Coup: Reasons Behind the Overthrown of Mohamed Bazoum by Abubakar Haruna

Niger Republic has a history of military takeovers dating back to the 1960s, marked by political injustice, imbalance, and recent turmoil that has dominated its political landscape. The most recent wave of political upheaval began with the end of the tenure of former president Momadou Tandja. He aimed to amend the constitution for a third term, which led to a constitutional crisis and, subsequently, a military coup in 2010. He was succeeded by military junta leader Col Salou Djibou, who oversaw a transition to civilian rule from 2010 to 2011. During this period, Mahammadou Issoufou fulfilled his presidential ambitions under the PNDS Tarayya party.

This policy has left most Nigerians vulnerable and made their lives uneasy. Consequently, businesses have collapsed due to reduced consumer spending.

The government cited reasons for this policy, but the unintended consequences have had a severe impact. Some of the restricted items include rice, cement, margarine, palm kernel, palm oil products, vegetable oils, processed meat, vegetables, poultry, tomatoes, soap, cosmetics, clothes, private airplanes, Indian incense, tinned fish, steel sheets, roofing sheets, wheelbarrows, metal containers, enamelware, steel drums, wire mesh, steel nails, wooden products, furniture, toothpicks, glassware, kitchen utensils, tableware, tiles, plastic products, polyp
