 Ousted President Mohamed Bazoum Tried To Escape - Niger Junta


The military government in Niger says it has foiled an attempt by the deposed former President, Mohamed Bazoum, to escape from custody.

Niger is part of the African region known as the Sahel - a belt of semi-arid land that stretches from the Atlantic Ocean to the Red Sea, just south of the Sahara Desert.
