 In a dramatic town of events, co-leaders in Niche have issued a rallying call to the nation's citizens, urging them to prepare for the defense of the homeland. The move comes after the expiration of a deadline set by the U.N. Committee of West African States, which had demanded the swift restoration of democratic governance in the country. General Duremen Chiani, the long-standing head of the Presidential Guard since 2011, took to state television to declare himself as leader of the newly formed National Council for the Safe Guard of the Homeland. This proclamation signals a consolidation of power among the co-leaders as they appear poised to defy international pressures to relinquish control. As the world holds its breath, the fate of Niche hangs in the balance. Will the citizens heed to the call to defend their homeland, or will the pressure from ECOWAS and the international community, and while human rights will be considered as a cause of action? The coming days will undoubtedly shake the trajectory of these crisis and determine whether Niche can find a path to democratic governance.
