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. 

According to them, the sanctions have exacerbated the already existing security and poverty issues that have been plaguing the country.
