00:01Thousands demonstrated in Niger's capital Wednesday in support of the country's military
00:07authorities following a threaded 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
00:31remain vigilant, to listen, and to process the information.
00:38Several other rallies were planned across Niger's big cities. Along with cries of down with the
00:46imperialists, Russian flags were visible in the crowd. You know what we've been through
00:51these past few days. A movement whose origins we know. And this is a historic moment for
00:57people to understand that if one Nigerian falls, another will be there to raise the national
01:03flag. The movement we're part of is one with no turning back. That's over now.
01:10On Sunday, Algeria deployed army jets to Niamey in a show of support for the military government.
01:16Officials have accused foreign governments of supporting Saturday's attempted uprising.
