Freedom for Bazoum

In Niger, President Mohamed Bazoum, an ally in the fight for democracy and stability in West Africa, remains unjustly detained by a military junta.

Mohamed Bazoum’s leadership marked a new era for Niger. As a former teacher turned president, he championed women’s education, fought corruption, and worked tirelessly to curb extremism.

President Bazoum’s vision for Niger earned recognition from democratic allies around the world. Yet today, he endures captivity, isolated from the world, while some of these same allies remain silent.
