In Niger, the ruling military junta has issued arrest warrants for 25 former leaders.
These include former Prime Minister Ouhoumoudou Mahamadou and former Foreign Minister Massoudou Hassoumi.
Also on the list are former Trade Minister Alkache Alhada and former presidential staff deputy Daouda Djibo Takoubakoye.
Former Ambassador to France, Aichatou Kané Boulama, is named too.
Additionally, former Energy Minister Ibrahim Yacoubou and former Tuareg rebel leader Rhissa Ag Boula face charges.
According to a statement by the military junta, due to their act to undermine state security, they all face charges of high treason and conspiracy.
Although, many have already fled the country, some even operate against the current regime from abroad.
