This Video Features a Senegalese Parade, Not Nigerian or Nigerien Forces

After the recent coup in Niger, a video was alleged to feature African troops demonstrating their military skills in a parade. 

Some users shared the video, suggesting that the soldiers were Nigerians deployed in Niger. Meanwhile, other users shared the video as showing Niger soldiers defending their country against intruders, including those from Nigeria.

One user tweeted, “Look at the soldiers Tinubu want to go and fight with Nigerian soldiers.”

Another user tweeted, “Niger soldiers will be fighting to defend their existence, their fight will be ideological consistent war to defend their nation from the aggression of West Imposed ECOWAS. Thier moral with that of their counterparts are very high. I wish them the best of luck.”
