The anniversary of the CNSP coup is observed in Niger on July 26 each year, commemorating the 2023 coup d’état that led to the establishment of the National Council for the Safeguard of the Homeland (CNSP). This public holiday marks the detention of then-President Mohamed Bazoum by his presidential guard and the subsequent formation of a new government. The coup, which was led by General Abdourahamane Tchiani, was met with international condemnation from organizations such as ECOWAS, the European Union, and the United Nations, while receiving support from nations like Burkina Faso and Mali. Following the coup, Niger experienced significant geopolitical shifts, including the expulsion of French and U.S. troops and the invitation of the Wagner Group. The first anniversary celebration took place at a stadium in Niamey, the capital of Niger, highlighting the ongoing impact of the coup on the country's political landscape and humanitarian situation.
