Thousands Protest Against Niger's President

Tens of thousands of people have staged an anti-government rally in Niger's capital Niamey, protesting against corruption, media censorship and what they said was the failure of the country's president to improve living standards. Demonstrators in one of the world's poorest countries chanted "Down with the regime!" and "No to dictatorship" on Saturday in the country's first major rally against President Mahamadou Issoufou's rule since his 2011 election win.
