The military junta in Niger has closed the country's airspace after the end of the ultimatum from the union of West African countries, which demanded the return to office of the ousted president Mohamed Bazoum.

In the press release, the military says that the airspace will remain closed indefinitely due to threats from neighbors to intervene militarily in Niger.

It was the West African nation of Ecowas that demanded the return of the democratically elected president, but the junta's spokesman said the forces were ready to face any aggression, hinting that they would not respond to any ultimatums. .

President Bazoum was ousted on July 26 and it was the general of the presidential guard, Abdourahmane Tchiani, who announced himself a few days later as the new leader.

This coup in Niger has been strongly condemned by the international community, including France, colonial powers and the rest of the EU, the UN and the United States.

In a statement to the state media, the representative of the junta said that there is reliable information that foreign powers are preparing to attack Niger.

After a meeting on the ongoing crises in Nigeria, Ecowas leaders announced that they have prepared a detailed plan for the possibility of using force.

Ecowas is a regional trading bloc of 15 West African countries, including Nigeria, Senegal, Togo and Ghana.

The coup leaders appear to be showing no sign of relinquishing power and on Sunday thousands of their supporters defiantly gathered at a stadium in the capital Niamey.

Nigeria is a significant producer of uranium, which is vital for nuclear power.
