The U.S. declares the ousting of Niger's president a coup and suspends military aid and training

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : Any resumption of suspended assistance will require action by the CNSP to usher in democratic rule in a quick and credible timeframe and the release of ousted President Mohamed Bazoum who's been under house arrest with his wife and son since July, the administration officials said.
48% : Under U.S. law, a formal determination of a coup -- the unconstitutional overthrow of a democratically elected government -- typically results in a suspension of all non-humanitarian assistance, particularly military aid and cooperation, to the country concerned.
