    The fuck is this article? What are the differences in ideologies between the military and the government? Is there any history of this conflict? How long has this president been in office? Most BBC readers probably have no idea about anything in Niger, myself included. The article should supply at least a little of this info.

      Considering this is 16 minutes old and a currently happen situation, it’s very likely BBC doesn’t keep that information on hand, and likely has to go source that.

      I doubt the soldiers put out a press release as the first thing they did detailing the ideological differences, and more focused on consolidating power right now.

      This should give you some idea:

      Niger President Mohamed Bazoum has been held by troops from the presidential guard since early on Wednesday. … Mr Bazoum is a key Western ally in the fight against Islamist militancy in West Africa.

      Bbc breaking news stories like this often start as a very small article and are updated rapidly to give more information

      There are only 3 actual sources of world news these days, the BBC is not one of them. They’re probably waiting on AP to send the details from boots on the ground.

        BBC has to wait until they have facts

      Right? Such a trash article that explains nothing about why this is happening.
