West African leaders have threatened military action against Niger's military junta after it took power in a coup last week. Leaders from the ECOWAS bloc, held crisis talks in Nigeria on Sunday to discuss the latest coup - which follows army takeovers in neighbouring Mali and Burkina Faso. They gave the junta seven days to reinstate President Mohamed Bazoum, who is being held captive. Earlier, the junta warned it would resist any "plan of aggression against Niger" by regional or Western powers. Meanwhile hundreds of coup supporters protested outside the French embassy in the capital Niamey.
