About this holiday
The date commemorates the 2021 coup in Niger, during which the Malian Army, led by Vice President Assimi Goïta, captured key officials, including President Bah N'daw, Prime Minister Moctar Ouane, and Defense Minister Souleymane Doucouré. This was noted as the country's third coup in a decade.
