Niger's Political Situation and Ethnic Dynamics
Niger experienced a recent coup that overthrew President Isufu and the country's political landscape is characterized by ethnic divisions. The majority ethnic group, the Hausa, are mainly located in the central and southeastern regions. The Zarma, Songhai, and Fulani are also prominent ethnic groups. The political power has historically shifted between these groups, with the Zarma having more influence during French colonial rule. Ethnic tensions persist, but information on their current extent is limited.
