Local believers also request prayers that religious leaders will use their influence wisely and advocate peace and democracy. As en went to press, the situation in Niger remained fluid following a coup by the National Council for the Safeguarding of the Fatherland [CNSP] – a military junta – in the face of ongoing opposition by other local countries represented by ECOWAS (the Economic Community of West African States).
