A joint mission from the United Nations, African Union and Economic Community of West African States will visit Niger on Sunday to assess the situation after a military coup, a senior UN official said.
"A joint UN-AU-ECOWAS mission will leave for Niger and arrives tomorrow (Sunday) morning," Said Djinnit, representative of the UN secretary general in West Africa, told AFP on Saturday.
"They will make contact with the military authorities, the political community, to see the evolution of the situation and see how they can support efforts for a return to constitutional order within the shortest possible time."
