WorldAs capital returns to normal, Niger downplays soldiers’ mutiny

Niger’s capital, Niamey, has returned to normal after an intense weekend. A soldiers’ mutiny took control of the city on August 29 before being stopped by the army with help from Russia’s Africa Corps. The following day, Algeria deployed four fighter jets and two other military aircraft, an unexpected move for a country known for its non-intervention doctrine.
