00:01Thousands demonstrated in Niger's capital Wednesday in support of the country's military
00:07authorities following a thwarted army mutiny on the weekend. The rally in Niamey comes just days
00:14after the military put down the attempted uprising with the help of Russian contractors.
00:20We're determined to stand with the CNSP and to support the President of the Republic.
00:25All we ask of the people not just those in Niamey but all the people of Niger is to remain
00:31vigilant
00:32to listen and to process the information. Several other rallies were planned across
00:41Niger's big cities. Along with cries of down with the imperialists, Russian flags were visible in
00:48the crowd. You know what we've been through these past few days? A movement whose origins we know
00:55and this is a historic moment for people to understand that if one Nigerian falls, another
01:01will be there to raise the national flag. The movement we're part of is one with no turning
01:07back, that's over now. On Sunday, Algeria deployed army jets to Niamey in a show of support for
01:15the military government. Officials have accused foreign governments of supporting Saturday's
01:21refugees attempted uprising.
