The Niger military junta that seized power has announced a list of 21 people that it said will become ministers in a new government.
This announcement was made overnight.
It comes as West African heads of state are set to hold a summit on Thursday to reach an agreement on the next line of action regarding the recent coup in Niger.
The military leaders who seized power in a coup in Niger Republic last month have formed a new government.
This was revealed in a decree read out on national television on Thursday.
Prime Minister Ali Mahaman Lamine Zeine will lead the 21-member government, with generals from the new military governing council heading the defence and interior ministries.
