Earlier in the day, the Association of Municipalities of Niger (AMN) and the Association of Regions of Niger (ARENI) which represent 262 territorial entities said in a joint statement that they declare their support for the junta-led transition.  

In their declaration, they said they give their "firm support of the actions announced by the National Council for the Safeguard of the Homeland for a successful transition."  

The document was co-signed by AMN President Abdou Ouhou Dodo and ARENI President Anacko Mohamed.

Both expressed their condemnation of the sanctions unfairly imposed on Niger by ECOWAS.
