ResumoSignificance The junta has meanwhile released former President Mohamed Bazoum’s son, Salem, as a goodwill gesture. The former president remains detained in his residence. Impacts A recently completed oil pipeline through Benin could generate major revenue increases for Niger if sanctions are lifted. Although Bazoum’s release is a key ECOWAS demand, the junta may only free him once a full agreement is reached. Regional normalisation may lead to improved security cooperation with Benin.
