The United States has offered its "unflagging support" to Niger's ousted president Mohamed Bazoum. Mr Bazoum was removed in a coup this week led by Gen Abdourahmane Tchiani, also known as Omar Tchiani, head of the presidential guards unit. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken warned those detaining Mr Bazoum that "hundreds of millions of dollars of assistance" was at risk.
