evidence: If you only have a minute - Many social media accounts have been sharing a video of a man crying in front of the cameras, claiming that it show Niger's finance minister after the junta gave him "48 hours" to explain "missing" money in the state budget. [...] A video published on July 29 and viewed more than 10 million times on Twitter shows a man crying in front of the cameras and holding his face in his hands. The person who shared the video claims it shows Niger's finance minister being ordered by the junta to explain what happened to the "missing money" from public funds. "The army has given him 48 hours [...] to explain the country's failing finances, otherwise he will face execution by a firing squad," reads the caption. [...] Therefore, this video does not show Niger’s finance minister crying because the junta threatened to kill him if he did not explain where the public money was. Instead, the video was taken in 2021 when the former justice minister paid tribute to Niger's former president.
