The deposed president of Niger, Mohamed Bazoum, is being held captive in isolation at his residence, cut off from the outside world and denied contact with his lawyers. His detention, orchestrated by the military junta that overthrew him, appears to have no immediate end, with efforts underway to strip him of immunity and prosecute him on various charges. Despite fading calls for his release and support from international partners, Bazoum remains detained, facing an uncertain future. The junta's actions have led to a significant shift in alliances, with the United States and France withdrawing their presence while Russia has increased its involvement. Bazoum's confinement is characterized by oppressive conditions, restricted communication, and a lack of legal recourse. His fate remains tied to the whims of the military rulers, overshadowing his past leadership and international standing. A scheduled hearing could lead to the removal of his immunity, paving the way for prosecution on charges including treason and support of terrorism. Despite these challenges, Bazoum's close circle and legal representatives continue to advocate for his release, but prospects for his freedom remain uncertain under the current regime.
