The African Union (AU) suspended Niger from all its institutions and activities after diplomatic efforts failed over last month's military coup. The 55-nation bloc has now said that the suspension will remain until what they called the effective restoration of constitutional order. Furthermore, the Council has called on all member-states and the international community to reject the ‘unconstitutional change of government’ in Niger and ‘refrain from any action likely to grant legitimacy to the illegal regime.’
