Niger(ia)

I thought this was an interesting news snippet. Oddly enough, it seems that despite the coup Niger might be moving towards more stable footing than Nigeria--where Goodluck Jonathan will face significant obstacles in bringing stability following Yar'Adua's illness/disappearance to Saudi Arabia and the subsequent constitutional crisis. In contrast, "crowds of demonstrators in [Niger's capital, Niamey,] and elsewhere greeted Niger's new military rulers with outpourings of support in the streets," according to the NY Times.
