Niger Appoints Military Chief After Mutiny
x/abdourahamane-tchiani
— Sep 12, 2026
Niger’s military government led by General Abdourahamane Tiani has appointed Brigadier General Mamane Sani Kiaou as chief of staff of the armed forces, replacing General Moussa Salaou Barmou, in a reshuffle following the August mutiny.
