05:53 of an ultimatum by Ekhawas to restore democracy. A deadline by the regional bloc passed at
05:58 midnight and, with the threat of military action if the demands weren't met, Niger closed
06:03 its national airspace. Niger's presidential guard ousted and held democratically elected
06:09 President Mohamed Bouzoum in the coup on the 26th of July. Ekhawas immediately imposed
06:14 sanctions on Niger and gave General Abderrahman Chiani, the coup leader, one week to restore

10:12 It features its own Indian reservation for internal contemplation.
10:20 The festival has been going on for 16 years. The circumstances have changed over the years,
10:27 and have become more difficult. However, this community proves year after year how important
10:35 it is to escape, to hide from the everyday life. This is a place of faith, as you can
10:42 see behind me.
