Niger has been the focus of international and diplomatic attention over the past week after its democratically elected president was removed from power by the military. In recent days, we have seen hundreds of foreign nationals leave the West African country.

Host James Reynolds hears from two friends in Niger, Sadissou and Sidien, who share their different perspectives on events.
