evidence: A video circulating on Facebook claims that it shows the Niger Finance Minister crying for facing accusations of fraud after the coup. In the video, we can see a man crying on camera before speaking into a microphone. The posts sharing this video are captioned, "Niger Finance Minister Reportedly Burst Into Tears After Being Given 48 Hours By The Military Junta To Account For The Country's Wealth In His Care or Face Firing Squad." The video is also being widely shared across other social media platforms with similar narratives. [...] The same video was also posted on X (formerly Twitter) on December 29, 2021. The caption, in Arabic, reads, "The crying of the former Minister of Justice (2011-2021), Mr. Maro Amadou, during his praise of the former presidents of Niger, especially the former President of the Republic, Muhammadu Issoufou, with whom he worked for (10) years as Minister of Justice, is causing controversy on social media." [...] An old and unrelated video of former Nigerien Minister of Justice Marou Amadou from 2021 has been incorrectly shared as the current Nigerien Finance Minister crying after being asked "to account for lots of stolen money or face execution by firing squad" amid the recent military takeover. Therefore, we have marked the claim as false.
