If you’d like, I can pull more focused updates (e.g., “latest on coup governance timeline,” “humanitarian aid distributions in Tillabéri region,” or “Niger-U.S. security cooperation developments”) and summarize them with brief citations. I can also provide a brief timeline of major events since the coup if that would help.
