The unrest that occurred after the announcement of the victory of the power candidate, Mohamed Bazoum, also caused the arrest of 468 people, including political figures, and Amadou Hama is still on the run.

These strikes take place in a tense political context after the second round of the presidential elections, in which the Independent National Elections Commission announced the victory of the ruling candidate, Muhammad Bazoum, with 55.7% of the vote in front of the opposition, Mahamani Othman, who contested the results and declared his victory with 50.3% of the vote.

Since then, unrest has erupted in Niamey and other cities as protesters took to the streets and attacked police, who responded with tear gas.

Abu Al-Azoum descended to Al-Mayaysa, which is from the Arab tribe of Awlad Suleiman of Libyan origins, which in turn goes back to the Arab tribes of Bani Salim, Al-Adnaniyah, Al-Qaysiya in Najd Al-Hijaz.
