• I personally suspect the USA or nobody, but what do I know. (They have a significant military presence in Niger and I haven’t heard anything that would suggest their bases are in jeopardy)

        The situation in Niger is directly contrary to US interests given that there are moves towards asking the US to leave alongside the French + the coup government contacted Wagner/is already aligned with Wagner-backed regimes. The US does a lot of fucked up stuff in the world but it would make no sense for them to be involved here.
