Ali Saibou was forced by public pressure to allow multiparty elections, which resulted in a democratic government in 1993. Political infighting brought the government to a standstill and in 1996 led to a coup by Col. Ibrahim BARE. In 1999, Bare was killed in a counter coup by military officers who restored democratic rule and held elections that brought Mamadou Tandja to power in December of that year. Tandja was reelected in 2004 and in 2009 spearheaded a constitutional amendment allowing him to extend his term as president.[\/vc_column_text]<style type=\"text\/css\">.thegem-button-6604556df1dcf3168 .gem-button svg {fill: #dd0000;}.thegem-button-6604556df1dcf3168 .gem-button:hover svg {fill: #ffffff;}<\/style><div class=\"gem-button-container gem-button-position-center thegem-button-6604556df1dcf3168     gem-button-with-separator\"  ><div class=\"gem-button-separator gem-button-separator-type-single\"><div class=\"gem-button-separator-holder\"><div class=\"gem-button-separator-line\" style=\"border-color: #dd0000;\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"gem-button-separator-button\"><a title=\"MediaFacts 2020\" class=\"gem-button gem-button-size-medium gem-button-style-outline gem-button-text-weight-normal gem-button-border-2\" data-ll-effect=\"drop-right-without-wrap\" style=\"border-radius: 3px;border-color: #dd0000;color: #dd0000;\" onmouseleave=\"this.style.borderColor='#dd0000';this.style.color='#dd0000';\" onmouseenter=\"this.style.color='#ffffff';\" href=\"https:\/\/mediafactsbook.com\/#subscribe\" target=\"_self\">Read more<\/a><\/div><div class=\"gem-button-separator-holder\"><div class=\"gem-button-separator-line\" style=\"border-color: #dd0000;\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> [\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row_content&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1531894142633{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_single_image image=&#8221;31074&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;45789&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1568399183752{background-color: #d6d6d6 !important;}&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;33360&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; style=&#8221;vc_box_border&#8221; border_color=&#8221;white&#8221;][vc_column_text]&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":294,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mediafactsbook.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/31172"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mediafactsbook.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mediafactsbook.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mediafactsbook.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/294"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mediafactsbook.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=31172"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/mediafactsbook.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/31172\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":45804,"href":"https:\/\/mediafactsbook.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/31172\/revisions\/45804"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mediafactsbook.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=31172"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
