- A hatched block means the outlet is affiliated with, or controlled by, a state.
Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.
Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.
The owner of each outlet is listed as a matter of record, not as a judgement about the outlet.
Every outlet covering this story shares the same political lean; read with that in mind.
Calm has returned to the Nigerien capital of Niamey following a mutiny that was thwarted by the military regime. The regime suppressed the uprising with the support of its Russian partner, specifically involving paramilitaries from the Africa Corps who conducted a tour of the capital. In the aftermath, Algeria sent four fighter jets and two other military aircraft to Niger as part of a recent resumption of cooperation between the two neighbors. While center leaning sources report the return to stability and the arrival of Algerian aircraft, one center leaning report frames the event as Russia cementing its role as a protector of juntas in Africa.
