These videos do not show foreign troops intervening in Niger Following the July 26 military coup in Niger, the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) issued an ultimatum demanding a return to constitutional order. After the ultimatum expired on the evening of August 6, Nigeriens feared an imminent military intervention. In this context, several misleading videos began to circulate online, claiming that foreign troops had been sent to Niger – despite the fact that there have been no signs of military action.
