 Niger says military activity in capital brought under control Niger's defense minister said Saturday that military activity in the capital, Niamey, had been brought under control and security forces had regained control of critical sites that were targeted. Gen. Salifou Mody's remarks were broadcast on national television after heavy gunfire and explosions were reported around Diori Hamani International Airport and the presidential palace in Niamey. Mody said a group of soldiers had "broken away from military order" and attempted to detain some of their fellow soldiers at the Base 101 military facility in Niamey before opening fire on several critical sites in the capital. He said the activity was brought under control thanks to the swift intervention of Nigerien defense and security forces, adding that control was gradually restored in the targeted areas. Mody urged residents of Niamey to remain calm and continue their daily activities as usual.

 ‘No Kings’ protests against Trump planned nationwide as GOP denounces them as ‘hate America’ rallies


Thousands of demonstrators are expected to rally in Washington, D.C., and cities across the country on Saturday for “No Kings” protests denouncing the leadership of President Donald Trump. The nationwide demonstrations, which organizers describe as a defense of democracy and civil liberties, coincide with the 18th day of a government shutdown that has disrupted federal operations and intensified tensions between the White House and Congress. Organizers say the rallies aim to highlight concerns about Trump’s expanding executive power, which they view as an erosion of the nation’s democratic foundations. Trump, meanwhile, is spending the weekend at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida, where protests are also expected nearby.

The “No Kings” movement marks the third major wave of demonstrations since Trump’s return to office, with organizers calling this weekend’s event the largest yet—featuring more than 2,600 rallies coordinated nationwide. Top Democratic figures, including Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Sen. Bernie Sanders, are lending their support to the protests, framing them as a “love America” response to what they see as the president’s authoritarian tendencies. Republican leaders, however, have condemned the gatherings, labeling them “hate America” rallies and accusing Democrats of siding with far-left activists at the expense of reopening the government. House Speaker Mike Johnson dismissed participants as “Marxists” and “antifa types,” while Democrats countered that the protests represent patriotic resistance against political extremism. With the government still shuttered and partisan divisions deepening, the rallies have become a symbolic battleground over how Americans define democracy, dissent, and the limits of presidential power.
