Residents of Niger's capital, Niamey, are calling for the Mass Recruitment of volunteers to assist the army due to the growing threat by ECOWAS, a West African regional bloc. ECOWAS has activated a standby force to restore order in Niger after the junta failed to reinstate deposed President Mohamed Bazoum. Despite tensions between Niger and ECOWAS, Niamey residents are ready for all options and are preparing for a possible invasion. A group of locals in Niamey is spearheading an initiative to recruit tens of thousands of volunteers to register for the Volunteers for the Defense of Niger.
