The M62 Movement (French: Mouvement M62), officially known as "M62: Sacred Union for the Safeguard of the Sovereignty and Dignity of the People" (French: M62 : Union sacrée pour la sauvegarde de la souveraineté et de la dignité du peuple), is a political movement in Niger. It was established in 2022 by a coalition of civil society organizations, as a reaction against the French military's presence during the ongoing Operation Barkhane.
The movement organized a series of demonstrations against the French military, becoming the country's largest opposition movement against the Government of Mohamed Bazoum. It supported the 2023 Nigerien coup d'état, following which it held demonstrations outside the French Embassy in Niamey, demanding the withdrawal of the French military from the country.
