Niger\u2019s<\/a> military says it will prosecute deposed President Mohamed Bazoum<\/a> for treason, hours after a group of senior Islamic scholars said the country\u2019s coup leaders are open to diplomacy to resolve their standoff with West Africa\u2019s regional bloc.<\/p>\n

In a statement read out on national television late on Sunday, a spokesman for Niger\u2019s military laid out the charges against Bazoum as \u201chigh treason and undermining the internal and external security\u201d of the country.<\/p>\n
