Bazoum was overthrown on July 26, 2023, by a coup led by Gen. Abdourahmane Tchiani, who then suspended the nation’s constitution.

The putschists were given a seven day deadline by the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), which is chaired by Nigerian President Bola Tinubu. However, the junta remained steadfast and refused to move.

The jailed President has bemoaned his situation in custody as the regional organization prepares for another special meeting on August 10, 2023, to debate the best course of action regarding the Niger deadlock.

According to CNN, Bazoum claimed that he had been deprived of all human contact since Friday and that no one had been giving him food or medicine in a series of text messages to a friend.

Additionally, he lamented the fact that all of the perishable food he had been given had since gone bad and that he was now just eating dry spaghetti and rice.
