The Associated Press published on 25 July 2024 an article titled "A Year Has Passed Since Niger's Dramatic Coup. Life Has Become More Dangerous and Desperate" by Chinedu Asadu and Baba Ahmed.

Western aid has dried up following expulsion of French and American troops from the country. Niger's new alliance with Russia does not appear to be adequate to address its economic and security challenges.
